People often say: "Dek, why are you running the UN on CWP? The UN is useless and pointless. Why are you spending so much of your time on this thing? Why do you care so much?"

In recent times, these complaints have waned. I feel a deep emptiness in me as a result. I have realized: I need to find something more useless and pointless to spend too much of my time running. Something that has even less of an impact on foreign relations.

I need... FIFA.

My plan for this claim is to use Football Manager 2023 (using the 2023/24 database update--sadly, FM24 isn't coming out until early November so we have to make due) to simulate major international tournaments (World Cup, UEFA European Championship, Copa America, Africa Cup of Nations, AFC Asian Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup), the major European domestic leagues (Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Primeira Liga, and Eredivisie), and the major continental club competitions (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, Copa Libertadores, CONCACAF Champions League, AFC Champions League, CAF Champions League). I am firmly committing to running the major international tournaments as well as the competitions in bold. The other ones might get a more general overview (e.g. I might only post the winner or the top few positions or something).

I will also be tracking the careers of some of the world's greats and simulating the bidding process for major tournaments. I hope you like bribery.

One impediment to this is that I actually don't know the extent to which Football Manager simulates some of these international tournaments. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it though.
