Submissions
The submissions can be found here.
Rules
The rules for this competition were a little different: we had a themed competition in addition to the regular competition. We allowed a maximum of three submissions and five votes per person in the regular competition and a maximum of one submission and two votes in the themed competition. We selected three winners from the regular competition and two from the themed competition.
Standings
Asterisks (*) denote winners. John Fritzen was once again the organizer of this competition, and Alex and John chose the winners among the tied nations. Note: we chose to remove Nazi Germany from the winners' list because of similarity to the already existing Baltic States.
