People of The Belmore Family, this year has been a long hard struggle in many aspects. We broke onto the international scene in late May after successfully separating from the evils of Gehenna Tartarus. We established a name for ourselves in June, joining the 5th Football World Cup in which we did excellently in qualifying only to be pipped to the post by former finalists Bedistan. Also that month we had a bloody war with our new allies Hellzone. Things got worse as Hypocratic Living got involved but eventually TBF pulled through with the help of several allies.

We moved onwards and upwards in July, paticipating in the 6th Football World Cup where we stormed Qualification only to be eliminated by Snub Nose 38 and Total n Utter Insanity. We also moved closer to peace agreements with Hellzone, finally agreeing on a permanent allience. Then late that month began the Cold-War with Ghasst. Taking over one of our Nuclear weapons they held me and our capitol to ransom. For our luck however our amazing secret services stepped in saving The Belmore Family.

Then came August, a very uneventful month apart from the decision by The Belmorian government, one I stand by now, to decrease our defence budget. We had grown up in the way of polotics. Gehenna Tartarus couldn't touch us now. We knew we were right. There was much celebration howeverwhen TBF made it into the second round of the Football World Cup only to be denied by Liverpool England the chance of a quarter finals show-down.

In Septeber Alan City FC did TBF proud as they won the Champion's League, beating Real Jultos in the process. While the internatonal relations around the World Improved, TBF becoming aliies with powerful nations.

In October the provence between Red Scandinavia and ourselves, formed a new state Belmorian Scandinavia of which they did TBF proud. We also had the notable achievement that month of coming forth in the first ever field Hocky World Cup.

In November the World Celebrated as RL Y1 arived, causing several problems with computers with the so-called Y1 bug. And we move into December another quarter finals behind us 8 months forward and many more to come.
