Location

On 17 October, Yazminian President and YRTV head held a press conference where they announced the election of People's Palace, the venue which most capacity of the country, located in the country's capital, Liechgrado, as the hosting venue for ISC 17.

Due to Yazminian being located between the sea and a mountain chain and Yazmianian history of wars and expansion against neighbour countries, land access is difficult. Liechgrado can be accessible by highway and high speed train from Grolskira and Dimkarus, and by national trains and national and regional roads from different points along the Yazminian border. Liechgrado also has an international airport.


Controversies

Venue

Bidding direct decision by Yazminian goverment caused controversy, especially among authorities and people from other big cities and regions, which demanded a public process for the election of the venue. Opposition parties declared the process as "contrary to Yazminian and revolutionary values", but Yazminian President downplayed the issue labeling ISC as "just an event of many that are held in different parts of the nation" and declared that Yazminia must show their best face to the rest of Internatia and that it won't affect the revolution, on the contrary, putting Yazminia as example for the rest of Internatia and the World could lead to more revolutionary processes in other countries.

Marvelian participation

On 14 October, Marvelia announced their withdraw from ISC, with no official reasons given by ITV or Marvelian authorities. It's suspected by many political analysts that the reasons of Marvelian withdraw are due to the contest being held in Yazminia, following the late political tensions among both countries.
