In a move described as having the aim of "strengthening regional ties", Valruzia has proposed the creation of the North-Seleyan Games, a multi-sport event that would bring together nations from northern Seleya under a spirit of sane competition. The announcement was made by Valruzan Minister of Eduation, Culture and Sport Krystian Rutka during a session in the Sejm, where he highlighted the cultural, economic, and diplomatic benefits of the initiative.

"This event will not only promote sports and health but also serve as a bridge between our peoples"

Rutka declared before lawmakers

"for so long, many of our nations have been ruled by autocratic and oppresive regimes, isolated from the rest of our neighbours and showing that all of them are our enemies, not our friends. We believe there can be a middle ground, and we aim to promote collaboration among us with this initiative. Because regional ties are not build under economic or diplomatic treaties, but also through this kind of proposals."

According to Minister Rutka, the proposal would include traditional disciplines such as athletics, swimming, martial arts or football, as well as indigenous sports from each nation, aiming to celebrate North Seleyan diversity. 

While the project would be in its initial steps, the Nowik government is already getting in touch with the North Seleyan nations - namely Likatonia, Lodamun, Kalistan, Baltusia, Gaduridos, Tukarali and Aldegar - to see how much support the initiative can draw, and afterwards move towards host cities, sports included and participating nations to be confirmed.

The Nowik government has pointed out that one of the main lines of Nowik's program was the development of the model of "mens sana in corpore sano", after he made huge reforms to the education and the sport systems in the nation to children and youngsters, and developed investment programs to boost the sports-like spirit within Valruzian citizens. According to the latest reports, more than 83% of the citizens say they either "go to the gym at least four times a week" or "practice a sport twice a week".

When asked about why only including Northern Seleyan nations, Minister Rutka has said that he believes those are the nations that share "closer ties and bounds", and those whose citizens "tend to indentify with more".
