Maccha-Brugia

Maccha-Brugia is a nation on the northern continent. It is ruled by Tyten and R_sPeEd, and has participated 6 times under the flag of Brugia, and is currently participating a fourth time under the flag of Maccha-Brugia.



History
Maccha-Brugia is a fusion between Brugia and Maccha-Bently, on the territory of Brugia. These two nations fused after that leader Tyten had fled Maccha-Bently because the nation was on the merge of a civil war after a non-qualification for the final. Directly after that, Brugia's leader, R_sPeEd, put Maccha-Bently under Brugian protection and tried to convince Tyten to come back. When he wouldn't come back as a single nation, the two nations decided to reform Brugia in to Maccha-Brugia.

Brugia
Together with Tomstria, Arjastan, Reym-L-Dneurb and Gabriel, Brugia is one of the 5 still active founding nations.

Maccha-Bently
Maccha-Bently was a nation who joined the NSC in the forth edition. They never had a big success in the NSC, and when they failed to qualify, Tyten decided to leave Maccha-Bently for the following reasons: 1. He didn't approve of the 12 qualifying nations-system, 2. It is very dissappointing is he can't even win from a not so good song, 3. It is unfair that better-known songs have an advantage, 4. (quote:) "I am a bad loser.". Nevertheless, Tyten is back thanks to Brugia.

Maccha-Brugia
Maccha-Brugia is a nation on the territory of Brugia. Actually, it is still Brugia, but whole of Maccha-Bently has 'moved in'. M-B has two provinces now: Maccha-Bently and Brugia. Maccha-Brugia will participate for the first time in NSC7.

The Maccha-Brugian Anthem is a piano play by Yann Tiersen. Piano is Maccha-Brugia's national instrument. You can hear/see the Anthem here.

NSC 7
Also see: Maccha-Brugia: Points awarded (detailed)

The province of Brugia has selcted a song, as well as the province of Maccha-Bently. It will not be announced which song belongs to which province.

The voting in the National final has been closed, due to a very clear victory for Imogen Heap! Maccha-Brugia's representative for NSC will be Leave me to Love, by Imogen Heap!

The seventh edition of the NSC was the most disappointing so far for (Maccha-)Brugia, they ended second last with only 46 points. This is not at all what MBTR expected, they said later on: "We knew sending Leave Me To Love was a risk, but we did expect Imogen to end in the top 15."

NSC 8

Because MBTR were really surprised that Imogen got a massive victory in the National Final, but ended second last in the NSC, they swore never to do a NF again. That's why the opted for an internal selection vor the eighth edition. In the end they selected 'Scatman', by Scatman John.

NSC 9
Also see: Maccha-Brugia: Points awarded (detailed)

MBTR had selected 10 songs to participate in the internal selection. 9 NSC-nations acted as a jury in this internal selection. In the end 'Insane in vain', by Vanilla Ninja, won the internal selection, 11 points ahead of the second song.

NSC 12
Also see: Maccha-Brugia: Points awarded (detailed)

For the 12th edition of NSC, Maccha-Brugia selected an unknown singer: Reina. Her song wasn’t a great success: she ended 25th of 28.

NSC 13
Also see: Maccha-Brugia: Points awarded (detailed)

For NSC13 Maccha-Brugia has selected a candidate. If the public didn't like the candidate (Alegria, by Cirque du Soleil), another song would have been selected. The public liked the song, but it didn't manage to qualify for the final.

NSC 14
Also see: Maccha-Brugia: Points awarded (detailed)

For the 14th edition Maccha-Brugia has selected something entirely different than the previous entries: a singing dog (Van je joebadoebadoe, by Samson en Gert).

NSC 15
Maccha-Brugia organized once again an internal selection with a jury, but not just a internal selection: a poll will be placed on the forum, and to make it complete an elemination game will be played on the forum. For this big selection, MBTR has selected 6 songs. Also for the first time MBTR has made a recap, which will be seen on YouTube.

Recap: YT

At the end, Lady Violet won quite convincing, so 'Inside To Outside' is Maccha-Brugia's entry for NSC 15.
