Actually UK was only united once in ESC edition #5 but no one took it then otherwise it has always been split to 4 Also is only currently allowed to borrow as i have no idea on how big their industry is and i have always thought it is quite small also the country is pretty small too it seems logical to me but there is no other reason for it tbh and the inspiration for this has been taken from other contests i would have no problem changing that Just made it sure back then if i was right about the industry Interesting that nobody wanted the UK. And yes Liechtenstein is very small and their music is even more. Tbh. I don't even know if there's anything. But let me tell you that it has literally nothing to do with Germany. Oh yeah Well i need to have a closer look at it then Thanks for mentioning!

Okay so as it seems the poll really doesn't have any specific result that comes out for #13 so i'll make the decision now myself First of all, i cannot please everyone with these so i fully understand if you feel the need to leave because of these new rule changes which will come to effect from FoIM #13! But i have thought about these and i have made the decision to go with these ones and if they do not work as wanted, there is going to be "plan B" Also as a host i want to make a decision which pleases most of you. So here are the new rule changes starting from FoIM #13:
1. Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland & England to compete as one unified UK! The holder of it will be decided either with voting or with first come first serve OR i will hand it over to one of the territory holders! 2. Autonome regions will continue to take part! As they have been an important part of FoIM since the beginning. 3. Borrowing rules will be changed to these:
from only from only & from from & from from from cannot borrow anymore from (Maybe specific states i don't know yet which ones) from
4. Overused songs that have participated in more than 5 contests before will not be allowed anymore! (I'll need some help with these i think but still) 5. Borrowing nations will need to send their entries for approval to me before publishing them!
6. The minimum age of participating artists will be raised to 18 years instead of previous 16 Will stay as it is (16)
If you like these changes just leave a like! You can also tell your thoughts below. I hope most of you are ok with these atleast and as i promised if these will not work there will be plan B which will then come to effect.

Sounds good. The only thing im a little disappointed about is the raise in the age but that is nothing really

Everything is OK but here are some things I think were better before: Luxembourg borrowing from the Benelux instead of France as it's more connected to these countries flagLiechtentein Liechtenstein borrowing from Austria and Switzerland as it's connected to both countries imo imo the minimum age of participating artists is suppose to be 16 and not 18, bcz there are a lot of singers which are 16-17 which won't be eligible to participate for no reason and bcz it's in ESC that way.

Yes that is how i'll do it at the start mostly but also some songs are not listed there so in those cases i need someone more experienced to check in with those songs But in total i think everything is going to be pretty solid and okay It will take some getting used to but i will handle it
