So this is pretty much based on the United Nations Security Council, hence the name 'United Song Contest'. The aim is to have some kind of diversity by including countries from all, or most, continents in some regard.
The world is split into regions, as defined by the United Nations. Each contest will require a certain number of countries from each group to work. They are:
-> 5 countries from Western Europe and Other group
-> 3 countries from the African group
-> 3 countries from the Asia-Pacific group
-> 2 countries from the Eastern Europe group
-> 2 countries from the Latin America and Caribbean group
Furthermore, there must be at least one Arab country, alternating between the Asia-Pacific group and the African group.
Everyone who wants to participate can post here and I will use random.org to assign everyone a region. If there are more than 15 participants, then I will change the number of countries from each region so as to stick to the same ratio as shown above. Once you have an assigned region, you may send a song form any country within that region.
To see the actual groups assigned by the UN, go here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Regional_Groups

Kiribati is not allocated a region, so it will be a part of the Asia-Pacific group for the purposes of this contest.
Other general rules:
> No (Junior) Eurovision songs
> Any singer representing a country must be born there, or have at least one parent who was born there. Any relation that goes further back is irrelevant.
> All songs must have been released from at least January 1st 2000. Any song released before the year 2000 is ineligible.
Participants! (Hopefully I get enough lol
