It's a pity that we can't select a national sport for our country... mine would be Mixed Martial Arts.

But anyway, what would your's be?

Well my region's official sport is Elephant Polo, although tournaments arent hosted that often due to the large costs involved in transportation :)

Hopefully NS2 will have a way for us to specify national sport. Would be cool if it did.

Ofcourse gun wrestling... first you start with guns and proceed with wrestling... or if you like, you can shoot and wrestle at the same time... 8)

My national sport would be airsoft gun battling. Airsoft guns are guns that fire little plastic BBs that leave a welt but don't hurt. It's really quite fun.

Mine would be a tie between big game hunting and various marksman comptetitions. We're a big gun nation, even though I recently was screwing around and decided to ban guns. I'll have to fix that problem soon :D

A high stakes Poker game followed by a single round of Russian Roulette. I call it Nikshop. But to be more general, I'd say Gambling.

Our national sport is spelling. So, we write "yours", not "your's".

Medieval Melee. It's quite dangerous, people often get killed. Bicycle jousting and chess are also quite popular. Some other notable sports include: Tugboat racing, ferryboat racing, tractor demolition derby (also quite dangerous), bobsledding, skiing, and skating (Callisdrun is a very cold country).
