Broadcaster

Logo of Felidon Doram Enerisē (ERIS), the divine mirror network.

The world Mărium is originally located in is on a technological level comparable to Earth's 18th century, which would make having a "national broadcaster" quite anachronistic. However, I think the eneris mirrors that are used for viewing the gods' everyday undertakings could also function for broadcasting intergalactic entertainment. I've decided to call this makeshift broadcaster ERIS, after the Mărium word for 'picture'.

Preselections

Formats

Xerā

The Mărimean preselection format is called Xerā, Stages of Mărium. The word xera (pl. xerā) was originally used to refer to the stages of tides, a particularly important natural phenomenon in the maritime nation of Mărium. Each edition has a theme around which the entries are selected. Most rounds invite other Internatian and Outernatian countries to voice their opinions.

Alter Matca

Some stages of Xerā bring back previous entries in a special stage called Alter Matca, second chance. There entries that had performed well in earlier stages but didn't win get another chance to represent the country.
