Why should your nation host the event: 1590 represents a very special year, for Carpathia. On one hand, it commemorates 100 years since Maximilian Arcturus wrote his "Manifesto of the National-Communist Party". On the other hand, it represents a century of football, for the entire world. Hosting the 1590 World Cup, would give the Allied States the opportunity to celebrate the nation's (and the world's) most popular sport, with attendances and TV ratings during matches, numbering in the tens of millions every year, in Carpathia alone. Hosting this event would raise the profile of Carpathian football, even further and increase the quality of football in the Allied States, through increased revenues which will allow for future generations of Carpathian football fans and players alike, to enjoy bigger and better stadiums, a higher standard of playing and more successes, worldwide.

What is the football background in your nation: Football is, without a doubt, the most popular sport in the Allied States. Since the first clubs were established, 115 years ago, the sport's prestige and popularity has increased steadily throughout the years, resulting in moderate successes worldwide. Since the Revolutionary War, Carpathia has an unusual tier system, or, rather, several tier systems (one for each state), with two federal upper tiers ("Divizia B" and "Divizia A"), each consisting of twelve teams and with qualification in the second tier being achieved by the champions and 2nd place teams from each state. This results in an extremely high competitiveness, as well as insuring that teams are evenly matched and stand a fair chance at a promotion.

Anything else of note: The Allied States of Carpathia and Moldova is a unique nation, in many ways. The birthplace of National-Communism and one of the most developed nations in the world, Carpathia has an ancient, vibrant culture based on the principles of cooperation, freedom and meritocracy, which blends thousands of years of tradition, with modern technology, a keen interest in science and the ideals of communism. It is an economic powerhouse, with an active, energetic population which is very welcoming towards foreigners, as long as it is not insulted. Carpathia features numerous hotels, ranging from budget accommodations, to luxury resorts, although most of these are business hotels. In addition, it also prides itself on its wide variety of delicious foods.

In terms of infrastructure, the Allied States is one of the most developed and technological nations in the entire world. Every major city is linked by the federal highway system (Autostrada), high-speed railways, airports and, in some cases, Maglev trains. Its urban mass transit systems are sophisticated, free to use and offer a very wide coverage (particularly in Bucharest City, the sprawling, skyscraper-filled metropolis inhabited by 18 million people, that is the capital of the Allied States) and benefit from state-of-the-art vehicles. The roads are well maintained and traffic is of good quality
