Waiting List Song Contest 199

For more information about the 199th contest and the actual show go to the thread.

The Waiting List Song Contest 199 was the 199th edition of the Waiting List Song Contest. After winning the edition the year prior, Pyreica was the hosting country; Utopolis won, Solentoya came second and Tanoiro third.

Theme
Visual identity of the contest was created around the etymology of the host country's name. The name of the country comes from the Latin root of the word fire : pyr. When the first settlers came to the land, they were taken aback by the colors of the sky when the rays of sunset reached the snow-covered peaks. The red and orange hues gave Pyreica its title of the Land on Fire (Tierth ò Pyr).

The logo and postcards featured Pyreican mountains and sky in the colours of the competing countries.

Location
Situated at an altitude of 1368m, Pyreican capital Ansèth has the particularity to be surrounded by the highest mountains of the country, the Neth Massís. Not only the city is the political and economical central point of the country, it's also the main crossroads for the mountaineers who want to tackle the relief. But the city in itself offers enough entertainment. No matter the season streets are busy with life and tourists walking between the 19th century buildings.

Ansèth is mainly known for its hot springs and balneo center, the highest and biggest one in the whole Natia. From international celebrities to the random citizens, many people already benefited from the hot water sources while admiring the wonderful view of the mountains from the outside pools.
