Open Letter from the Foreign Ministry
Regarding the Seventh All-Mundus Summer Games
With its long history of participation in world sporting events, the Kingdom of Tytor stands as uniquely qualified to host this year's upcoming Mundus Games. Tytor's bid to host this event is herein officially announced. If chosen, this will be the second time the Mundus Games have come to Tytor, their third iteration having been hosted in Aquilae. Therefore, the Tytorian government promises to hold the internationally cooperative nature of the games inviolate; all athletes and supporting staff will be given diplomatic immunity for the duration of the games; all events will be protected by the best security measures available; and citizens of other nations desiring to attend will be able to take advantage of semi-expedited tourist visas for the duration of the games.
It is the hope of the Tytorian people that the international community will elect to entrust Tytor once again with the honor of hosting this prestigious event.
-Sir Gregory Major, Minister of Foreign Affairs

To:- The Mundus Sports Community
It is our delight to be able to put forward a joint bid between Tamora and Royal Seleucid aimed at hosting the 2020 version of the Mundus Games. The Mundus Games marks an occasion for the world to celebrate as different nations and people come together to celebrate their shared love of sport. Tamora and Royal Seleucid provide the perfect backdrop for the events of the Games for several reasons.
First of all Tamora and Royal Seleucid are nations with deep and historic cultures that have competitive sport at their hearts. The people of Royal Seleucid have taken to their hearts past-times such as falconry and camel racing which are both unique to Midaranye as large scale participation events. In the last few years sports such as Football and athletics have taken to the hearts of the Seleucid people. Meanwhile over the border the people of Tamora have embraced supporting others to get involved in sporting opportunities. Thanks to the efforts of Tamora the Bene Gesserit diaspora across Mundus were given the chance to field their first official sports teams when Tamora welcomed a squad of young ladies to play football. It is clear therefore that should the Games come to Midaranye they would find a native population overjoyed at the chance to witness first class sport while simultaneously helping nations access the very highest tier of global sports.
The people of Midaranye are famed for their hospitality with the people seeing it as practically a duty to make visitors welcome. One need only look at the Jewell of the Desert Festival where tens of thousands visit the remote sandy desert of Royal Seleucid for a week of trading, shopping, socialising and entertaining. Every year this event gets bigger and bigger and the tourists visiting experience a warm welcome, feel safe and leave as our friends whom we are eager to see return. Tamora meanwhile has a strong tradition of pilgrimages, hosting pilgrims from all over Mundus that visit the holiest sites of the Manist faith.
Midaranye is also a region famed for being at the cutting edge of environmental sustainability and over the last few years both nations have invested in "green technology" the two nations jointly built what is considered the world's largest "Gigafactory" capable of producing vast numbers of rechargable batteries for use in things such as electric cars. Working together innovations such as the offshore economic park of KHELP have seen small businesses in these fields thrive. In terms of food production the HARP (Haniyah Agricultural Reserve Project) experiment has seen a unique partnership between the two nations utilise new technology to feed the world. In more recent times the engineering prowess of the region has been seen in the construction of both the ambitious lesuire facility known as The Palm and the more recent economic hub known as Blue. Any games that take place in Midaranye are destined to be some of the most environmentally friendly and innovative seen in the history of the games.
Finally the Games deserve to come to Midaranye. This important economic, cultural and religious centre of the world has been neglected when it has come to hosting major sporting events. No sporting event in the world is bigger than the Mundus Games. If the Games are to be truly representative of Mundus then it is about time they came to Midaranye where the people welcome them with open arms.
Should the games be granted jointly to Royal Seleucid and Tamora the coverage of the Games will be provided by RSTV and TINS. All nations on Mundus, regardless of participation, will be entitled to access footage from these two channels. Tamora and Royal Seleucid also both undertake to do everything within their power to provide a safe environment for athletes, spectators, officials and broadcasters to enjoy the games regardless of the political standing between ourselves and them.
We have attached to this letter an outline of which events are to be held and where. In addition there shall be two Atheltes Villages, one in Ipsus and one in Alaverdi with transport being put on between the two by the Seleucid and Tamoran governments.
We look forward to welcoming you to Midaranye soon.

ATHLETICS:- Prophet's Grace Arena, Tamora
(https://img.fifa.com/image/upload/t_l4/zo52m9sevmmhdrhdyjmi.jpg)
The Prophet's Grace Arena/Stadium etc is 70,000 arena designed to mimic a tent used by those travelling the desert. The design of the stadium will minimise the amount of energy required to keep athletes and spectators cool. The tent structure's lightweight canopies will stretch out towards the pitch from every side, providing plenty of shade to supplement the air cooling technologies at work. Surrounded by a park the equivalent of 40 football pitches in size there is adequate room to implement solar panels and some small scale wind turbines. With the nations "Gigafactory" providing large numbers of electric vehicle cells fleets of buses and taxis can be found to get around the area.
FOOTBALL AND RUGBY:- Palm Plaza Arena, Ipsus, Royal Seleucid
(https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2010/12/07/22/511844.bin?w968h681)
The Palm Plaza Arena sits on one of the branches of the innovative Palm development in the bay on which Ipsus sits. The Arena is capable of seating some 65,000 fans and is designed to be easily accessible by boat as well as causeway to the mainland. The location in a state of the art leisure park means that hospitality opportunities at restaurants and cafes are just a short stroll away as is a small popular theme park.

The Saroyan Dynasty Arena also known as the Royal Arena in Tamora shall be used for Swimming/Diving events. The arena has built by the monarchy of the federated kingdom of Attica as a tribute to the local tradition in swimming and diving. It is also the place where Tamora's best athletes in diving train.

The Palm Exhibition Centre in Royal Seleucid will be used for Weighlifting, Fencing, Medeival MMA and Cue Sports. The centre has four separate exhibition halls surrounding a large central hall. This allows us to easily convert them for different sports with the centrepiece finals taking place in the central hub. Sat on one of the outer arms of the Palm Project it benefits from excellent boat links to the city. With Royal Seleucid having a small but significant Cultist population hosting Fencing and Medieval MMA is likely to see the events well attended.

Rowing - River Vorotan in Tamora. With the river flowing through Alaverdi and with large pathways down both sides of the river there will be ample chances for the spectators to watch the events on the river.

The Ipsus Bay Boat Club, Royal Seleucid will host the Sailing Events. While the Boat club, which sits close to the Palm, is usually accustomed to hosting mega yachts during the course of the games it will be turned over to the Mundus Games sailors. The natural bay of Ipsus will provide perfect conditions for the competition.

As part of the Palm Project in Ipsus a BMX and Skateboarding park was constructed. This will be adapted to bring it up to Mundus Games specifications and seating will be erected around to allow for spectators. The arena is likely to be the most modern skate park on Mundus and will feature climate control technology to allow for pefect skating conditions.

Ipsus Royal Palace is usually the home of the Seleucid Royal Family however for the duration of the games it will be home to the Equestrian events with the driveway being converted into an arena for showjumping and dressage and a cross country route being erected around the Palace Estate. The spectacular backdrop is certain to be as awe inspiring as the action.
