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. The artists, which will have their own NF, are group, called Biplan. There are 5 songs of theirs in the NF.
ISC 17
This edition was swapped with LYL 19, where songs from every region can enter and GLTV will pick the best one out of the ones from the respective region. The song must had not been competing in previous LYLs to enter in LYL 17.
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, and the latter edition was considered to be as a joint NF between 2 nations. Later GLTV made this edition request-free and any song from 8 regions can compete, but suddenly, GLTV swapped the editions: this will be LYL 17. Preparations had already begun and Grolskiric people had already casted their votes by firstly knowing the singer and the song separately, then knowing, who sang that song from LYL 19 lineup. The official start of LYL 19 will be announced as soon as ISC 19 reservations will take part.
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 confirmed to take part, are:
- Michelle Branch - "Everywhere"
- Veronica Maggio - "Jag Kommer"
- Amy Macdonald - "Don't Tell Me That It's Over"
- Double Faced Eels - "Laiks Ir Dzīvs"
- Hooverphonic - "The Night Before"
- The Smiths - "How Soon Is Now?"
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 said 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."
