Orangualia

+.

Orangualia is a country participating in the Nation Song Contest. Orangualia's flag is a vertical tricolor of orange, green, and white, like the fictional countries of Ireland and Côte d'Ivoire. The colours are arranged from orange to white, with green in the middle. Orange stands for the colour invented in Orangualia, orange. Green is for the rich land, and white is for everlasting freedom in Orangualia.

Orangualia held a national final in NSC 57, their first one. 6 songs were originally chosen in the NF(first 6 songs in the draw), but about a day later, 6 more were added, doubling the amount of songs to 12. The 12-song NF was considered a bit too much, and the idea of so many songs was vaguely criticized by some. The winner of the NF was Dan Black by 2 points, and he went on to finish 20th place in the final, 1 place lower than Misstress Barbara, but out of more participants.

In NSC 58, Orangualia returned to an internal selection, and Chromeo was chosen to represent Orangualia in their 3rd contest with Fancy Footwork. They did not qualify, yet again receiving 38 points, but in 23rd this time.

In NSC 59, Orangualia was originally going to send Animal by Neon Trees, but instead changed their entry after winning an MSN NSC with The Mission District's Just Don't Feel The Same. Orangualia still didn't qualify, but got their best finish then, improving 2 places.

In NSC 60, Orangualia had an NF of 4 songs, with Far East Movement/The Cataracs/Dev's collab Like A G6 coming out on top. They once again brought Orangualia up, to 13th. Orangualia also returned to semi 2, and received a record number of points for Orangualia scoring 60 points.

NSC 61 was the big edition for Orangualia, with Higher by Taio Cruz and Kylie Minogue, finally giving Orangualia their first qualification, finishing 9th place with 68 points. They failed to do very well in the final, finishing 20th with 92 points, yet to receive a 12 in the final. Despite this, Orangualians were happy about qualifying.

Another 4-song NF was held in Orangualia, with Afrojack and Eva Simons' Take Over Control winning, sending Orangualia to semi 1, and later the final, where their draw is 26. This brought them their best finish, 12th with 116 points.
