Simeone Di Bradini

Simeone Di Bradini (also known as "SDB") is a Starblaydi former football player and manager, now the assistant manager and occasional player for The Holy Empire national football team. His career as a striker took him across three countries at club level and to four World Cups, finishing as both his country's record goalscorer (44) and appearance maker (84).

He holds the distinction of scoring Starblaydia's first ever goal in international football, during the third Under-21 World Cup, as well as having scored five times across four separate World Cup tournaments. From the dugout, Di Bradini managed the Starblaydia Under-21s and the senior side to tournament victories.

He is one of the few players in history to have played for two different national football teams - not including those merged by national events - in his career, having also taken to the pitch during for The Holy Empire. He provided the cross for the only goal of the World Cup 48 Final, finally writing his name into football legend as a World Cup winner.

Away from the pitch, he was also the President of the World Cup Committee between World Cup 25 and 27, the first Starblaydi to hold the position. He is widely regarded as by far the best Starblaydi player of his generation, as well as one of the best players in the world during his career. He is also, arguably, the most famous footballer in world history, particularly since the Starblaydi Football Association renamed the Under-21 World Cup as the Di Bradini Cup and named a newly-built Starblaydi national stadium after him.

The Presidency

Before World Cup 25, an election was held amongst the members of the World Cup Committee to find a new President to replace the outgoing one from Bedistan. The four candidates - as nominated in a previous ballot - were Trevor Belmore of Druida, Sani Luvo of Kaze Progressa, Kansu Kiru of Rejistania and Simeone Di Bradini of Starblaydia.

Simeone won in somewhat of a landslide, polling over two-thirds of votes cast and served for a single term, spanning three Cups, and was succeeded by another Starblaydi candidate, Giovanni Lopez, to the role.

He was also in Kaza, Kaze Progressa - along with Starblaydi Lord-Protector Tiberius Starblayde to watch his country win World Cup 25 against the Orange-Blues of Rejistania.

Jolt links no longer work

If you have used links from the old Jolt forums in NSwiki articles, please note that the address to those forums has changed, and the old links no longer work. "forums.jolt.co.uk", the old Jolt domain, now takes users to an error page. Use "forums.joltonline.com" instead. The old thread numbers in the links should still work fine.

Example:

What NSwiki is not

1. NSwiki is not a personal homepage and/or file storage area. NSwikians have their own personal User pages, but they are used for working on the encyclopedia. If you're looking to make a personal webpage, there are many free homepage providers on the Internet.
2. NSwiki is not a free wiki host. You may not host your own website or blog at NSwiki. If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on anything other than writing the NationStates encyclopedia, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites (such as SeedWiki or Riters.com) that provide wiki hosting (free or for money). You can even install wiki software on your server.
3. NSwiki is not a roleplay site. Historical accounts of roleplay activity belong here. Active roleplaying should be done on the forums.
4. NSwiki is not a link repository. If you want to track your forum posts, use the Forum Search feature on Jolt.
5. NSwiki is not a Discussion forum. If you want a regional forum, visit ProBoards.com or InvisionFree, where they do that sort of thing. Please try to stay on task (the task here is to create NationStates encyclopedia articles). NSwiki is not a discussion forum or chat room.
6. A vehicle for advertising and self-promotion. We don't need articles on items just because a contributor is associated with them. Links to your roleplay storefront are fine, links to your Ebay storefront are not.
