Day 3: Eighteen nations enter, but four will not survive. Who will they be?

Today, Hera judges nations by their citizens' intelligence. But in Tiralta's puppet, people pronounce IQ as "ick-quee." In Woonsocket's puppet, citizens gather for annual conventions to change lightbulbs. In Zaberaz hapang's nation, mazes printed on children's menus are used as college entrance exams. And in Istillian's puppet, "I'm with stupid" t-shirts are mandatory. It takes them awhile to realize they've ended up in The Rejected Realms.

Fourteen nations remain after Day 3. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 4: Fourteen nations enter, but three will not survive. Who will they be?

Hera is judging nations today on the size of their retail industry. In Proctethia's puppet, shopkeepers feel bad charging customers and just give away items. In Astrobolt's puppet, the government randomly gives each household goods instead of them going to stores. And in Evil Mother's puppet, people still operate on the barter system. But no amount of bargaining will keep them from The Rejected Realms! Hera shows a little mercy, though, only ejecting three nations.

Eleven nations remain after Day 4. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 5: Eleven nations enter, but four will not survive. Who will they be?

Today, Hera is getting technical and judging nations on their business subsidization. In Thedairos' puppet, businesses must pay a toll if their employees drive on public streets. In Valentian Elysium's puppet, civil servants are banned from shopping at any private business. In Aschente's puppet, shops are expected to provide their own electricity. And in Wolflandil's puppet, corporations must pay their employees' personal tax bills. No free rides in these nations—except for the free ride to The Rejected Realms!

Seven nations remain after Day 5. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 6: Seven nations enter, but four will not survive. Who will they be?

Hera is judging the most avoided nations today. Tourists flock to Kingdom of Circle of Magi's puppet for the annual festival of knick-knacks and tchotchkes. In New Kowloon Bay's nation, lines for customs are so long, they stretch two countries over. In Nouvel Empire's puppet, visitors are given gift baskets large enough to need a truck to carry. And in Cacatuoidea's puppet, the Keys to the City in the capital are duplicated and given out to visitors too many times to count. These four aren't avoiding The Rejected Realms!

Out of those who entered, we're down to the top three—Flying Eagles, New Makasta, and One Small Island—who are are all guaranteed prizes!

Three nations remain after Day 6. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 7: Three nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?

Today, Hera is judging nations by the size of their book-publishing industries. With low literacy in New Makasta's puppet, If you ban this feel bad IDK a good name, no one can read this to realize their bottom ranking in book-publishing. And no, Hera does not feel bad banishing them to The Rejected Realms!

Congratulations to New Makasta on the third place finish! Now it's down to the final two: Flying Eagles and One Small Island.

Two nations remain after Day 7. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 8: Two nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?

Hera's final judgment is on a decidedly non-Olympian sector, nations' automobile manufacturing industries. In Flying Eagles' puppet, citizens live in an ecotopia where people walk, bike, and take public transit to travel and live healthier lives free of pollution and crashes. Great, right? Uh, the only downside is that they have no car manufacturing sector. It's a long drive off Olympus to The Rejected Realms!

Congratulations to One Small Island on first place! Prizes are coming your way soon! Congrats also to Flying Eagles for earning second place! And thank you to everyone who participated in the contest, to all the organizers of the Percy Jackson and the Carnival of Celebrations event, and again to Hahiha for the donations that made these contests possible!

Day 1: Eleven nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?

Today, the gods of randomness only ask for one ejection to begin. The World Census Report is on the most extensive civil rights. Unfortunately, every citizen of Tuga nation's puppet who answered the World Census takers questions was immediately jailed, based on evidence from the cameras in every person's home. Now, they'll get a good view from The Rejected Realms!

Ten nations remain after Day 1. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 2: Ten nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?

The World Census report today is on the most corrupt nations, and again, only one nation is on the chopping block. In Valentian Elysium's puppet, employees pay for water they drink at work and government workers are audited under threat of torture. They steadfastly refused to bribe their way out of a trip to The Rejected Realms!

Nine nations remain after Day 2. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 3: Nine nations enter, but two will not survive. Who will they be?

The World Census today measures nations with the largest black markets. In Obrimenja's puppet, students who borrow a pencil in class must report it as income on tax forms. And in Spratly Islands' puppet, people who find a penny on the sidewalk conduct manhunts to identify the owner to return it. These honest nations are heading to The Rejected Realms, all above board!

Seven nations remain after Day 3. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 4: Seven nations enter, but two will not survive. Who will they be?

Today, the World Census ranks nations on their disposable incomes. In Penguin Dictators' puppet, employees just tell their employers to deposit their entire paycheck with their landlords. And in Sporaltryus' puppet, instant ramen is the most popular national dish. The good news is they won't have to spend anything on their all-expense-paid trips to The Rejected Realms!

Five nations remain after Day 4. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 5: Five nations enter, but two will not survive. Who will they be?

The World Census Report today is on nations' manufacturing sector. In Anjan Kloss' puppet, all heavy machinery is lovingly hand-crafted in small artisanal batches. And in Drew Durrnil's puppet, hunter-gatherers fear the wrath of the fire gods from the mighty smokestacks visible in neighboring countries. They couldn't manufacture a way to stay in the contest! It's off to The Rejected Realms!

Out of those who entered, we're down to the top three—New Makasta, Tymus, and Woonsocket—who are are all guaranteed prizes!

Three nations remain after Day 5. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 6: Three nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?

Today, the World Census ranked nations by their soda industries. In New Makasta's puppet, though, soda is known as the the devil's elixir, and anyone caught drinking it is sent to prison for their bubbly offense. Now they'll pop over to The Rejected Realms!

Congratulations to New Makasta on the third place finish, their second in a row! Now it's down to the final two: Tymus and Woonsocket.

Two nations remain after Day 6. Who will win? Stay tuned!

Day 7: Two nations enter, but one will not survive. Who will it be?

The World Census Report today ranks nations by the Human Development Index. In Tymus' puppet, citizens emerged from their huts to marvel at the technological mysteries of the World-Census-takers pens, paper, and clipboards. That means one final trip to The Rejected Realms!

Congratulations to Woonsocket on first place! Prizes are coming your way soon! Congrats also to Tymus for earning second place! And thank you to everyone who participated in the contest, to all the organizers of The Liberty Gala, and again to Hahiha for the donations that made these contests possible!
