Grolskira is a fictional country, participating in Internatia Song Contest.
States
There are eight states in Grolskira.
Dlimon (Milovan: Dielamenn, Kleep: Dolmin, Rysnakan: Dolan) is the state, where the capital city, Dlimon, is. There are many people, who loves to live in this capital city, but it is also declared as having "the most commit suicides in the whole Grolskira", as nowadays newspapers say. Dlimon is more bordered with the sea, and their favourite Grolskiric dialect is Rysnakan.
Aurorin (Milovan: Roeronin, Kleep: Robearlin, Rysnakan: Aurora) state has the second largest city, called Aurorin. There people can name the cities as their beloved object/song/singer/etc. Recently 3 new cities had been "created" due to the popular Swedish Eurovision-related TV show, or selection to Eurovision, called "Melodifestivalen", but actually only due the winner. In Aurorin, people are happier than in Dlimon, but they also have the darkest of the sides - the more foreigners move in, the more of them start smoking and alcoholism habit, and aren't able to get back home, and die in Aurorin. The locals' favourite Grolskiric dialect is Rysnakan. And Aurorin state is more bordered with the sea.
Gurikni (Milovan: Gerkunei, Kleep: Kugeni, Rysnakan: Gurkuna)
Piojini (Milovan: Neijoper, Kleep: Pojalini, Rysnakan: Paijoneir)
Stavincja (Milovan: Vencoja, Kleep: Stevonceja, Rysnakan: Steisins)
Vicutkili (Milovan: Kuctevel, Kleep: Vincevikit, Rysnakan: Voseutukli)
Jikuliu (Milovan: Kujiliul, Kleep: Jukiulnin, Rysnakan: Jokla)
Hininukliu (Milovan: Nuhumenikel, Kleep: Honenykli, Rysnakan: Nuninak)
Internatia Song Contest
Grolskira, like many Internatian countries, participates in Internatia Song Contest, also specified as ISC. Grolskirian calls it "Internvision", because they thinks the way of the contest should be called by Eurovision standarts.
Grolskira held "Lakmosoja Y Lakma" (Sing The Song) as their national final for 14 editions. Their history started with Lily Allen, entering her song "22" and winning the first edition of "Lakmosoja Y Lakma".
The most succesful ISC edition for Grolskira was 5th one - Nolwenn Leroy with "Tri Martolod" finished 3rd with 97 points. Grolskirians originally intended to win with this, but San Monique won with "Of Monters And Man" and their song "Little Talks".
Grolskira recently suffered even 2 last places in the semifinal, but after HKJIADH were disqualified after not voting in time in ISC 13, thus "giving" a ticket to qualification to another country, Grolskira was "raised" into a second-last position. 2 countries also were disqualified in ISC 12 semifinal, and raised Grolskira to third-last position.
Currently all people are putting their hopes for one of the most rising stars in Grolskira - CC/CC Martini/CC Catch. She will sing "Rock'N'Roll Girl" in Lovendalen, Luzze, ISC 14.
Future plans
There are also plans of Lakmosoja Y Lakma 15, but as long as the managers of the show ask other countries to help them with the songs, they get no reply and put the songs themselves. Sammarinese singer Valentina Monetta is also taking part in Lakmosoja Y Lakma 15, with the song, which many believed will be her new ESC 2012 song instead of "Facebook, Uh Oh Oh (A Satirical Song)". But they only changed the lyrics. It's "Una Giornata Bellissima".
Many Grolskiric people are acussing Lakmosoja Y Lakma 15 as one of the most weird Lakmosoja Y Lakma editions ever, with so many known songs and a couple of "never heard for their ears". However, that's why the managers of Lakmosoja Y Lakma 15 searches for countries, which could give the selection "killer songs". It's the second time they were asking suggestions, but currently receives none. The only edition of Lakmosoja Y Lakma with suggested songs was 4th. That was the edition, where Voltarei, a Spirevan band, won.
Controversies of ISC in Grolskira
2 riots were held in Grolskira, because of "undeserved winners". Carpathia sent Katzenjammer (the same ones, who won in ISC 1 for Territrius) and came second in ISC 12, where Bebe Black won. However, the first riot wasn't that lucky at all, because Katzenjammer already won ISC once, so, it was rush for nothing.
And the next riot was bigger, because Dulce Pontes won for Tikata in ISC 13, the same one who represented Portugal in Eurovision 1991, at least the sources say so. And Kosma lost to Tikata by one point. "It was pointless to vote for the rock song, which was completely chanceless!", a local riot attender said to GLTV. However, Grolskiric people expect a nice concept from ISC 15, but they still do regret for voting Canedonia 12 points instead of lower.
