Half Supervisor Ross is on top of the leaderboard for another day. Astute League leaders may remember that Proudest Union of Former People\’s Republics of Groganzola (Unincorporated) competed in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games as the Grand Unified Sovereign Emirates of Groganzola. The Fantasy Olympics blog caught up with God-King turned Half Supervisor Ross to get us caught up on the goings on in our neighbor to the North (East? South?).
Q: Fantasy Olympics has noticed that you have undergone a name change, and your leader seems to have been overthrown, or at least demoted. What happened?
Q: Where is PUFPRGU located?
A: The Democratic People\’s Republic was toppled in a frivolous coup. This, among other things, led to the Vegetable Rebellion and the God-King\’s unfortunate dismemberment. The Proudest Union of Former People\’s Republics of Groganzola (Unincorporated) rose from these ashes.
Q: Where is PUFPRGU located?
A: Groganzola lies east of Black Sea in the hills of the Eurasian Steppes. However it is frequently left off maps due to western misinformation, xenophobia, and the general reluctance of cartographers.
Q: Half Supervisor- is that half of the time or half of the country? Who supervises the other half?
A: My legs were removed during dismemberment.
Q: Due to the healthy obsession with sports which permeates the country, most of the Fantasy Olympics members are Americans. While we know what you call your own country, what do Americans call you?

Q: What is PUFPRGU\’s major export?
A: We are heavily invested in vaporizers and vaping accessories.

Q: What does the future look like for PFUPRGU?
A: The future of the Proudest People\’s Union is bright! It is truly morning in Groganzola. We were awarded a lucrative contract by the IOC to pump sewage from Copacabana Beach and maintain the diving pool. If that goes well we may throw our hat in the ring for 2024. Fingers crossed!
