Hasanistan recognises legitimacy of former diplomatic treaties; clarifies position on Koraq

The provisional government of Hasanistan has declared that it will recognise the validity of a number of older treaties establishing diplomatic relations and mutual recognition of sovereignty with other self-proclaimed sovereign states, believing that the ratification of new treaties is unnecessary and having confirmed mutual interest in rebuilding bilateral relations.

The following states will have previous treaties regarded as legally valid, effectively re-establishing diplomatic relations and mutual recognition:

• The Confederation of Mahuset
• The Karnian-Ruthenian Empire
• The Republic of Upper Shwartz Morgen Lorgen Land
• The Great Kingdom of Slitronia

Unilateral recognition of sovereignty will be granted to the Great Turan State, which Hasanistan was formerly a part of until last year.

Hasanistan has also declared that it continues to regard the so-called "Batyraq Pact", originally ratified with the City State of Konraq, as effective. However, due to instability and frequent political upheavals, it is uncertain over who currently governs Konraq. The Hasanistani government has clarified that it will recognise the "dominant faction" in the country as the other party in the Pact, which currently seems to be the "Provisional People's Government of Konraq", as long as it seeks peaceful relations with Hasanistan and respects the 2018 Konraq Independence Act. A new government body, the "Office of Viadalvosphere Affairs", has been proclaimed to oversee engagement with both Konraq and the cultural sphere of the former Derskov-Viadalvia.

The government has stated that it may reauthorise other former treaties if there is an interest by the other party, but noted that most of its former treaties are with entities which are now dissolved or inactive.

2026 MicroWorld Cup: Nesea heads to final; Hasanistan eliminated

The remaining half of the 2026 MicroWorld Cup was completed today (24 August) after three games were played. Nesea has advanced to the Cup Final after a 6-0 victory over Stanland, which had been affected by technical issues, and a dramatic 4-3 triumph over Parasolia. Parasolia had reached the semi-final after their playoff opponent Ludzervik had been disqualified for inactivity and later achieving a shock 4-3 defeat of Hasanistan in a close quarter-final.

Nesea will now meet Brennonia in the final, while Parasolia will face Tymbarc over third place. The two matches are planned to be held this weekend.

Tournament bracket

Stanland 0–6 Nesea

The highly-anticipated match between Stanland and Nesea, the only quarter-final between two group winners, had originally been played on 2 August. However, after technical issues on Stanland's part, the match had to be abandoned in its final seconds. It was agreed between the two teams and the tournament organisers that the final minute of the game would be played while the score would be maintained, which saw Nesea leading over Stanland 4-0.

In this completion of the fixture's remainder, Nesea dominated with an early goal and one half-way through sealing an official 6-0 victory.

Hasanistan 3–4 Parasolia

After the disqualification of Ludzervik for inactivity, Parasolia advanced by default to a quarter-final rematch against group stage adversary Hasanistan. Having lost their previous encounter 3-0, Hasanistan headed into the game as favourites and hoped to continue their home tournament success.

Any hopes of a repeat of the group stage were cut short after Parasolia scored the game's opener at the twenty-first second. Hasanistan responded four seconds later, showing that the game would be a tight contest, and by the end of the first minute the score was equal at 2-2.

In the first half of the second minute, Parasolia soon took a strong two goal lead. Under pressure, Hasanistan increased its offensive play in the final moments of the game but a strong Parasolian defence prevented Hasanistan from truly getting back in the game. Hasanistan managed to score at two minutes and fifty-two seconds, far too late to comeback. A final Hasanistani attack at the last second managed to put the ball in the goal but just as the game had ended, ironically in a similar fashion to the Independent Team's defeat to Minaki.

Parasolia advanced, while co-host Hasanistan was eliminated. "We are proud of our performance but the dream is dead, it's over" Hasanistan's player Hasan Çakar said after the match.

Parasolia 3–4 Nesea

The two quarter-final victors soon after faced off for the place in the MicroWorld Cup final. Twenty-nine seconds after the game began, an opening goal by Parasolia raised hopes for another upset. Nesea equalised nearly twenty-seconds later.

By the beginning of the second minute, Nesea had scored to more to lead 3-1. Parasolia fought back fiercely and made the game 3-3 in thirty seconds to put themselves back in the battle. However, a side shot at the forty-second instant of the second minute saw Nesea to victory. A final counter-attack by Parasolia was cut short by the game's end and Nesea had finally prevailed in this dramatic semi-final.

Updates on administrative issues

While the matches were being played, the organisers of the Slopfest 2026 Intermicronational Haxball World Cup faced the dissolution of Yotamistan and arbitration case with the Independent Team's governing body.

The news of the dissolution of the Kingdom of Yotamistan, reportedly on 14 August, put into question the hosting of the tournament's final and match for third place. Scheduled to be hosted in Yotam City and Duck Island respectively, the important games needed a new host. The Brennonian and Hasanistani organisers have since reached an agreement with the government of Mahuset for their capital Lazia to host the final, while the match for third place will be held in the Mahusetan constituent territory of Mamucium.

The arbitration case between the Independent Team's governing body and tournament organiser Hasan Çakar over the decision to recognise Minaki's 4-3 playoff victory has also concluded after the Brennonian-appointed arbiters settled in favour of Çakar and affirmed the result's legitimacy. The case's settlement had been delayed due to scheduling conflicts for the original arbitrator Emiel van der Huijsen, leading to the appointment of two new arbiters (lead arbitrator Winston W. Blackburn and associate arbitrator Cecil Joseph Bowman) by the Brennonian government.

2026 MicroWorld Cup: Co-host Brennonia head to final

Yesterday, Brennonia advanced to the final of the Slopfest 2026 Intermicronational Haxball World Cup after a 7–2 victory over Tymbarc in their semi-final.

The beginning of the game was an inverse of the final result, as Tymbarc took an early lead at the nineteenth second with a long-distance strike and doubled it to 2–0 at the game's thirthy-seventh second. These goals ended Brennonia's clean sheet streak that it had maintained throughout the group stage and the quarter-final. However, Tymbarc's lead was soon to be challenged as Brennonia scored at 0.48'. Brennonia soon after equalised at the turn of the game's first minute.

Following their recovery, Brennonia came to dominate the game. Tymbarc failed to make any decent chances for the rest of the game, often being forced to the sides of the pitch, and the team's defence crumbled in the face of Brennonia's attacks and counter-attacks. By the game's second minute, Brennonia had scored three goals to make the game 5–2. Two more goals around the match's last thirty seconds secured Brennonia a comfortable victory, despite the poor start.

Brennonia's performance will provide them confidence for the coming final, having dominated every game they have played so far in the tournament. The match was of special importance to the co-host, as the final game to be hosted in Brennonia and its capital Brennongrad. Brennonia's player Chase Mahoning has also now caught up to Nesea's Filip in the golden boot race, as both are now on thirty-three goals each.

Despite the defeat, Tymbarc will play one more time in the match for third place. As the other side of the bracket has yet to play, Brennonia and Tymbarc must now wait for their final opponents.

A full replay of the semi-final can be seen here.
