Grolskira is a fictional country, participating in Internatia Song Contest.
States
There are eight states in Grolskira.
Resukomela (Milovan: Roselankeva, Kleep: Rusolaka, Rysnakan: Resumeni) is the largest state, where the capital city, Dlimon (Milovan: Dielamenn, Kleep: Dolmin, Rysnakan: Dolan), 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. Resukomela is more bordered with the sea, and their (people from Resukomela state) favourite Grolskiric dialect is Rysnakan.
Svaikovina (Milovan: Dremakolik, Kleep: Svuskinakija, Rysnakan: Sovijana) is the second largest state with their capital being Aurorin (Milovan: Roeronin, Kleep: Robearlin, Rysnakan: Aurora). 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 Svaikovina, 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 Svaikovina. The locals' favourite Grolskiric dialect is Rysnakan. And this state is more bordered with the sea.
Lutemanu (Milovan: Toleman, Kleep: Lunatikej, Rysnakan: Lotunsakein) is a third largest Grolskira's state. Its capital is called Gurikni (Milovan: Gerkunei, Kleep: Kugeni, Rysnakan: Gurkuna).

Flag
The new Grolskiric flag is symbolising peace (green) and love (pink). Many of Grolskiric people were tired of the Scandinavian cross look-a-like, that they were saying the flag was the reason why they fail in ISC. They really hope that the new flag will bring them better luck and less awful semifinal eliminations. The new flag was officially approved by Grolskiric president Berlonifiu Durimol Hytyruty in August 24th, 2013.
The old Grolskiric flag, which was used since August 1st, 2012, had three colours: orange (for sunset), gray (for sand) and blue (for sea). As said before, it resembled a Scandinavian cross, only more in the middle. The first Grolskiric flag, used in October 11th, 2011, contained many colours, a heart with two sides (black and white) and some random lines. For Grolskiric president Berlonifiu Durimol Hytyruty the first flag was "boring", so, they decided to change the flag into the one before the new two-coloured flag.
Internatia Song Contest
Grolskira, like many Internatian countries, participates in Internatia Song Contest, also specified as ISC.
Grolskira held "Lakmosoja Y Lakma" (Sing The Song) as their national final for 15 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 four non-qualifications in a row and they feel like Switzerland of ISC. The latter country didn't qualified for 4 times in a row either.
Currently people lost all their hopes for ISC. But they will refresh them soon, because Biplan are their next artists in line to represent Grolskira in Pensa, Anselmsuusonia, for ISC 16.
ISC 16
GLTV already casts their NF for ISC 16 and they uses "Song For..." format for the selection once again. There are 5 songs in the NF.
ISC 17
The preparations of LYL 17 had already begun. People were asked to vote for the singer(s) looks and the song, without knowing the singer(s). On the next week, the people were asked to vote for the song, after realising who sang that song. The voting for the NF will start once the reservations for ISC 17 will begin.
ISC 18
GLTV firstly announced to have LYL 16 as "female-full" edition and left this edition for second-chance, a.k.a. the songs, which were close to grab the victory and went to Top 5 in LYL 15, LYL 16 and LYL 17. But GLTV had to change some plans and made the "song for artist" selection edition to be used for LYL 16. And then they moved the female-full edition to LYL 18. But they decided to cancel it afterwards and made this edition "Love Us!" edition, with the songs having "Love Me" in the title. And their plans keep changing, because there was also considered to have "Only Teardrops" edition, where "teardrop" in the title would've been used. But the latter idea was scrapped and finally GLTV, together with RTVRA, agreed to make a joint NF, called Aonachskira Fest.
ISC 19
At first GLTV made this edition as a "second chance edition" for those, which came 2nd-5th in LYL 15, LYL 17 and LYL 18, but as the latter edition was considered to be as a joint NF between 2 nations, GLTV made this edition as request-free, and 1 song from each region must be submitted. GLTV will pick out the best one from the regional mail, received for LYL. Past and future Grolskiric NF participants are strictly forbidden to enter this edition.
ISC 20
As planned, this edition is dedicated to the best LYL songs from past 9 editions, a.k.a. "Lakmosoja Y Lakma Bests". The acts, which will surely participate, are:
- Michelle Branch - "Everywhere". She won the "Best NF Wanker" award in web awards of "LYL Most Wonderful Moments" for losing in even three consecutive editions she entered (LYL 12, LYL 13 and LYL 14). She already told the Grolskiric media she is finally aiming to win.
- Veronica Maggio - "Jag Kommer". Veronica already told the local press that she is upset that she did not won LYL 14 and believed that "everything was rigged for CC, just to secure Irlandia's 12 points in the semifinal". She also said that she also wanted to represent Luzze, but got rejected, because was "too ambitious, so, she should represent a more kind country instead". She is definitely willing to win.
- Amy Macdonald - "Don't Tell Me That It's Over". Recently Amy represented Tashkveny in ISC 14, Luzze, and got 21st place. She was devastated by the result, so, she decided to participate in LYL 20, because she remembered that she took part in LYL once.
- Double Faced Eels - "Laiks Ir Dzīvs". After hearing that ISC 19 was reserved for second chance, they were rehearsing all the time for it, but now when there weren't any chances to get in, the band remembered, that LYL Bests happens every 10 editions and decided to give it a try. And now they're happily rehearsing for it again.
- Hooverphonic - "The Night Before". Hooverphonic seemed to show some interest after representing Territrius in ISC 8 and participated in LYL 15 to be there again. Hovewer, they did not win and Hooverphonic were slightly upset and waited for a chance to get back to ISC.
ISC 21-30
GLTV continues to shock Grolskiric people with their upcoming ISC plans. According to the Jukelin Ynenaklog, GLTV's head of press, the amount of songs in LYL is set - 7 songs in each edition, except the "LYL Bests" edition. So far, only one Grolskiric entry is chosen in advance - Sara Bareilles's "Love Song" (it won LYL 21).
Once if Grolskira wins...
GLTV siad that they already planned everything for their first ISC victory ever. They were watching many past ESC and JESC editions, and decided to have a slogan, which will also have an anthem, which will match the slogan. "Personally I am sad that Pebbleland gets hated", Bergan Ujemalunok, the most die hard fan of ISC from Grolskira and GLTV general director, said to the local gossip magazine, "Super Juicy Goh!Sips". "Once they qualify, they always get announced last", he said. "So, our mission is to make all participating countries feel better."
