Although this is one of the aforementioned Harletical Iede teams, the club truly peaked twice, both being extremely close together.

Overview
The Shodiax League is the primary football league/system in Hiblund, and easily one of the most popular leagues in Anteria. Despite Hiblund's generally small population, the nation can show a lot of talent in their sports, showing particularly in football. The Shodiax League's entire system is host to more than 2,000 clubs spanning over 9 levels and 82 leagues.
History
As the system has been in function for almost 70 years now, there must be some history behind it. That being said, there are many aspects that we'll go through here, although maybe not being the richest in content, a good portion of such will be nonetheless.
Founding
Before the Independence of Frarstizk, which was a former territory of Hiblund, the nation had settled with the Harletical Iede, which was scarce in clubs and diversity, yet was successful anyway. Although it did include a few lower levels of talent, there was no way for them to cross over each other, there being no such thing as promotion and relegation. This was avoided for the simple reason of a type of formality that the league had, and although the controversy was prominent, no changes were ever established. This being said, this league was dominated by well-built clubs, as the less fortunate were left to suffer. So teams like Antres FC, SV Vovilveante, Boylinaruɣaun FC, and VfL Neu Volfsburɣ had a slight momentum head-start. However, after the Independence, the Harletical Iede folded, leaving clubs from there stranded from playing. This would lead to the break in a consistent top football league in Hiblund, commonly known as the Sciedfelt Stretch. During this period, many leagues have popped up here and there, yet not a consistent and famous winner of the title, "Top Football League in Hiblund". With this, many of the previously aforementioned clubs in the Harletical Iede had decided that they would wait until they find a promising organisation. Then, in 1953, Ben Shodiax had gathered up enough funding to start his own league, beginning as just another new league attempting to lure in the key items for success- the teams of the Harletical Iede. Unlike many other attempts, almost all of the jobless clubs of the former league agreed with the policies and liked the personality of Ben, and soon the league was publicized and properly founded. It took a while for the clubs to get back to a good financial status, after all, they had been useless for almost seven years, but it was all worth it and the league was properly titled as the top league in Hiblund (Some of the clubs that had not waited with the others were added later on, either by the 1971 Expansion or the Awlescxairu leagues).
Expansions
Early on in its years, the league had been quite exclusive hosting three levels, the Piruen, Vaitrel, and one league for each 'cardinal direction' region. The increased popularity and future domination of the league would soon require action to be more inclusive. The following excerpts will educate you on the actions made and the reasoning behind them.
1958 Expansion
Only five years after the debut of the league, club admission had become a popular desire by many, as other unsuccessful leagues had folded and unemployed players wanted their jobs back. Ben and other officials acted surprisingly quick to this, starting ideas for solutions back in '56. These executives had decided to evidently keep the league semi-exclusive, not making admission by any standards simple. Nonetheless, it was officially announced in the '58 offseason that there would be a fourth and fifth level to the system, with permission from each province in Hiblund. The fourth level would have each 'cardinal direction' region split further, with 2-4 leagues as well as 14-16 teams within each region depending on population. Every individual league in a region would have the same probability of advancing to the next level, with one promotion spot to the third level. The fifth level would be subdivided further into provinces, originally including 20 teams in each province (later changed to 30 teams with 2 divisions), then each provincinal champion would play the rest of the provincinal champions within their region in order to advance. Slots for admission would quickly close, as expected, and unlike pessimistic beliefs, was quite diverse population-wise.
1962 Transfers
The second major system change in Shodiax's history, and responsible for many teams you now know so well. As the Shodiax League surpassed more and more expectations of their popularity, the more the successful leagues from the Sciedfelt Stretch period became an afterthought. These leagues were dying of this major switch, and the once good teams in these leagues were no longer being supported and successful. Ben Shodiax decided that the right thing to do was to buy off the clubs with direct admissionment, and, in a way, repay the struggling leagues from their losses. These deals were not broadly accepted, as they came off as being expansion-hungry and inconsiderate, despite the fair intent. However, there were still quite a few leagues that were acceptant of their rapidly declining popularity, and gave up some of their better teams to the now thriving Shodiax League. These leagues that ended up accepting to some extent were Xaire, Indoliiov, Norsterlampv, and Cistruine. Clubs that were directly admitted into the league were renamed with their respectful "transfer team" abbreviations to the end of their city name (such abbreviations were XCT, ICT, NCT, and CCT), completely leaving behind their old name as a sign of respect for their former leagues. These abbreviations are reserved only for these clubs, not to be used in any aspect by other Shodiax teams. Shodiax had bought off 10 teams from Xaire, 8 from Indoliiv, and 4 from both Norsterlampv and Cistruine, and gave us teams we now know as Vovilveante XCT, Trinalxii XCT, Vintvenxva XCT, and many other notable clubs from modern times. On top of this controversial maneuver, executives had introduced a sixth level, expanding on the idea of provincinal leagues. They were conceived as direct relegations from the fifth level in each province, however with multiple divisions in order to hold even more clubs. Each one was given 48 new slots to fill (originally), divided up by 3 divisions of 16 teams. The previously mentioned clubs started in the sixth level with plenty of other newly admissioned teams, however were some of the quickest to gain ground, many taking around 20 years to make it to the Piruen Iede.
1971 Creation and Expansion
Once again, without any sort of a play-in league, expansion was prone to come up within conversation. This expansion wasn't anything too creative, just stock assets being blown to higher proportions. A seventh level was created, as another branch to the proincinal leagues, really nothing special. However, areas with either very little size or very little population (such provinces were Vovilveante, Axal, Rebtiasiff, and Urleich) were not allowed to include a sixth level, instead just having a larger fifth level. Each league in the sixth level included a whopping 100 clubs (originally), with 5 divisions including 16 teams, along with another division holding 20. Along with this, the capacity was increased for each fourth level league to 30 instead of the former 20, leading to plenty of auto-promotion. Keep in mind that this decision was made during the 70-71 season so that they had more time to fill in all 1500+ spots added, and didn't go into full effect until the 72-73 season. In fear of not having enough teams by the end of the offseason, Shodiax itself created new teams in various locations in order to slightly improve the odds of their success. This ended up not being necessary, however that did not keep them from commissioning these 100 newly made teams, which often had '70 or '71 as their distinguishment term from their city. This much-need branch to more audiences was exactly what the Shodiax league system needed to stay the top football league in Hiblund, at least for a few more years.
1989 Amateur Expansion
The push for a more inclusive Shodiax League had finally been finished in 1989, as the executives finally allowed the Awlescxairu Iede to come into play. The eighth level made it possible for pretty much any properly funded team in Hiblund to make it to the Shodiax League. These also go by the provincinal standards, one for each province. There, five slots are bid upon to be put into the league, as the other three spots in the league are for the club relegated from the seventh/sixth level the previous year, and also the previous second and third positions. Cities themselves cannot fund a team, it is against the rules, an individual must found it without political authority to avoid having just populated cities having clubs and no one else. The top club is promoted into the seventh/sixth level, depending on the province. If a club is in the Awlescxairu for five straight years with their latest not being a podium position, they are not allowed to bid for the next three years. This was widely accepted and accommodated, one of the finishing touches to the league's longevity.
2003 Expansion
The 2003 Expansion didn't add on any new levels at all, rather, just slightly amping up the club number in a few leagues. By all means, this was a minor edit compared to other expansions. In the sixth level, the clubs were boosted to 68 with 4 divisions respectively, and in the seventh level and the sixth-level leagues that acted as seventh-level leagues, the number was improved to 124 with 8 divisions. Yeah, really not much to add about this other than they needed more diversity and more diversity is what they got.
Keys for Sucess
Other than the system itself, the fair play, and the Harletical Iede teams, there has to be more than that to make this one of the most attractive sporting leagues in Anteria. With that in mind, here are some topics that fill out that gap.
Boylinaruɣaun FC (team)
Although this is one of the aforementioned Harletical Iede teams, the club truly peaked twice, both being extremely close together. The latter was host to one of the greatest players of all time, Eluis Ankielun, which almost carried the team to so much success. Games of his were extremely fun to watch, as he would always make a play to amaze the entire audience. The team's Shodiax peak was in the mid 60s, which helped prolong the interest in the league, being far from its debut at this point. Although the team didn't have much talent other than Ankielun, saying it was a one man show isn't quite accurate. Defender Kermotta Louix and midfielder Calu Stepvaehr helped balance out the talent of the team for sure, giving all positions a level up from the competition. Not to mention a pretty good goalkeeper in Fervaskilaou, which proved to be nothing short of spectacular in times of need. Overall, the team had the recipe for domination, being one of two clubs to claim the honor of a dynasty withstanding over three or four years, depending on your perspectives of other runs.
Vovilveante XCT (team)
Vovilveante XCT may not be the longest standing or even most successful club (if you include the Harletical Iede) in Hiblund's larest city, but knowing its success in the little time the club had in the Shodiax and no time in the Harletical, you can tell it's outstanding what the team has been able to accomplish and bring to the Shodiax League. The club was just introduced into the Shodiax League system in 1962, and since then has won 13 titles, and 18 of those years were spent in the non-main leagues. This club was good in its previous, but short-lived league, the Xaire, but had got increasingly better once in the new form of competition held in the Shodiax. It was made a dynasty, and a long lasting one too, in 2013, and is still considered one today. The reason for success has been infamously known for its teamwork and the integration of the players Harrison, Jaitleii, Ɣalnuez, and Citzarlex. Harrison and Jaitleii are still with the club today, as Ɣalnuez and Citzarlex have retired already. Harrison, likely one of the best forwards in the game behind Ankielun, is renounced for his problem-solving abilities when it comes to breaking defenses and is known for holding the record for most goals in a season, at 45 (2017). Jaitleii, a very teamwork-centric midfielder, who will probably hit the all-time record for assists by his retirement. Ɣalnuez was possibly the best defender of his time, and respected in that manner when retiring in 2019. Easily the most unfortunate of all is Citzarlex's story, of which ended early in 2018. Citzarlex was thought of as the best goalkeeper to ever walk the pitch, and some may say even the best player, period. However, in a tragic car accident, was forced to retire from numerous injuries that he would not ever fully recover from. Needless to say, this team's overall success and entertainment to watch was a great reason why Shodiax is still relevant today.

Current System's Flaws
Although the Shodiax League has proven successful, it has a couple major flaws that disrupt the flow quite a bit. These are hard to cover without having too large of a disrupt the year of the change. The very first and most prominent flaw is the interworkings between the second, third, fourth, and fifth levels. The connection between the second and third isn't the best, as the lowest in the Vaitrel is replaced with the best team in the third level, which is play-offed by each region. This causes leagues to have an excess of clubs, which requires automatic relegation and automatic promotion, which is never a fun thing. A solution to this is that the lowest in the Vaitrel replaces the highest in the same region, however, this could make the same region promote and relegate each season. The fourth and fifth also has a singular promotion/relegation spot in each region, and has the same way of going about it as the second and third level spots. Incomplete
