Nation Song Contest 167

The 167th edition of the Nation Song Contest will be 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.
