Hello, and welcome to the 867th Grand Exhibition! As you likely know, in the coming days nations from around the world will send forth their champion, their greatest warrior to do battle on their behalf.

Oh? What's that? You've never heard of the Exhibition!? Egad! Where to begin?

The Exhibition is held every six years, and was established in the year 1010 UF by the nations of the Global Federation to determine which member nation will sit in the controlling seat in the next term! It's perhaps the most important facet of Federation culture, so I'm actually rather surprised you've never heard of it. Surely you must have been joking, right?

Well, regardless, if you wish to represent your nation, simply fill out the attached form and mail it to your local Federation Office, and we'll put you in the preliminaries. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one to represent your country in the final rounds of the Exhibition! Good luck!

*Enclosed is the application for participation in the Grand Exhibition*
So you want to know a little bit more about the Global Federation? Well, here goes nothing:

In the year 10 PF (Pre-Federation), there was a war, and that's about all we know. Out of the Ten Year War arose the Global Federation, an alliance of the most advanced and powerful nations on the planet Helios. For five years, there was a great deal of reconstruction work, and as such everyone was really too busy to cause much trouble, but once the Federation Nations were back at full force, they immediately went for each other's throats. In a stroke of brilliance, one Mr. Rax Afos devised a system by which the Authority of the Federation could be passed about, while simultaneously encouraging the member nations to better their military capability and burning off the aggressive tendencies that had them at each other's throats: The Grand Exhibition.

The Greatest Warriors from around the world would be be sent to participate in a tournament to show off their Strength, Skill, and Intellect. The nation that was able to provide the most capable warrior would lead the free world for the next six years, until it was time for a new Exhibition to take place. With all of the member nations agreeing with this plan, the first Grand Exhibition took place in the year 6 UF (Under the Federation), and the event has been a staple of Federation culture ever since.

Oh, and in the year 114 UF, the Exhibition Charter was amended to say if a Non-member nation wished to join the federation, they'd have to send a representative to the Exhibition and make it to the finals in order to be admitted. Of course, only nations that had been members in the last term could win the leadership position, but I don't think anyone's worried about a non-member participant beating a member in the finals. In fact I'm not sure a non-member rep has ever made it as far as the finals, what with their tendency towards being so primitive and all.
