About MetaSoccer Lands

MetaSoccer Lands are unique ETH NFTs, each representing one of the 210 FIFA countries. These lands offer exclusive ownership and significant opportunities within the MetaSoccer ecosystem.

Nationalities

MetaSoccer Lands introduce the concept of nationalities, adding depth and realism to the game. All players, scouts, staff, stadiums, and clubs will have a nationality associated with their lands. These nationalities are tied to the real world through the FIFA ranking, which will be updated every three months. Players will receive boosts based on their nationality, enhancing their performance and value. Additionally, national teams and national competitions will be introduced soon, allowing players to compete on an international stage.

Real-World Connection: FIFA Rankings

MetaSoccer Lands are closely tied to the real world through the FIFA ranking system. There are 210 countries in the FIFA ranking, and their positions are updated every three months. The FIFA ranking is based on various criteria, including:

• Match Results: Performance in international matches, including wins, losses, and draws.
• Match Importance: Points awarded based on the importance of the match (e.g., friendly match, World Cup qualifier, World Cup match).
• Strength of Opponent: Points are adjusted based on the FIFA ranking of the opponent.

These rankings impact the way scouts can find better players and also provide some nationalities with boosts based on lands’ FIFA Rankings.

Benefits for Landowners

Landowners will enjoy multiple benefits, primarily generating passive income through various in-game activities conducted by other users. Key benefits include:

• Scouting Fees: Landowners receive a fee for each scouting session conducted on their lands, providing a steady income stream.
• Enhanced Value and Prestige: The presence of training academies, stadiums, and clubs on a land can increase its overall value and prestige, offering significant investment opportunities.
• National Teams and Competitions: Players scouted on lands can represent their national teams, participating in international tournaments and special events.

Integration with Scouting

MetaSoccer Lands are deeply integrated with the scouting system, creating a cohesive and interconnected ecosystem. Key aspects include:

• Scouting Mechanics: Users select the land where they want to send scouts. Players might receive an extra boost in their stats determined by their nationality, which is linked to the land's FIFA Ranking.
• Scouting Costs: The cost of sending scouts to a land varies based on its FIFA Ranking too. Higher-ranked lands incur higher scouting costs, reflecting the increased probability of finding boosted players.
