Nation Song Contest 167

The 167th edition of the Nation Song Contest was held in Meilutya for the first time after the previous edition's winner, Insomnéa, declined the option.

Confederate States of Etorkia withdrew permanently from the main roster, allowing Aclaira to make its debut. Il-Bidu returned after a 1-edition absence, while Zaprya, Uferbruht, Nállanot and Kimmystan also withdrew.

Due to problems with scoring, a 29th finalist was added for the first time since NSC 149. Additionally, due to multiple technical difficulties, this edition surpassed NSC 104 as the longest edition in NSC history.

Hypjø claimed its seventh victory with "Electric" by Rein. Rounding out the top 6 were Kadis, Orangualia, Cherniya, Roseland and Calypso.

Semi-Final 2*
Ujedinjeni Gvozd, Roseland and New Bander State voted in this semi * due to an error in calculations, Solentoya qualified to the final instead of Rumia. The error was discovered immediately after the announcement of semi results, and Rumia was added to the Final, while Solentoya also stayed as a finalist (by the host's desicion).

* due to another scoring error (mistakingly adding all the 6 bonus points to the regular points, instead of the REJU ones) Yaponesia qualified to the final as a REJU qualifier, while Rumia qualified on a regular basis instead of Denmark of Peace. In fact, Denmark of Peace was supposed to qualify on a regular basis, while Rumia was supposed to get the REJU qualification instead of Yaponesia. The error was revealed at the end of the edition and, as a result, Denmark of Peace received the PQ spot in NSC 168.
