The '''Estmero-Verizi War''' was a war between the [[Kingdom of Estmere]] and the [[Verizi Empire]], over Estmere's ambition to expand the [[Colony of Riziland]] to the central plateau, as well as over Estmere's colonisation of present-day [[Rwizikuru]], which saw [[Toubacterie|murungocracy]] be implemented over Riziland. This war lasted from 22 May, 1882, when Emperor [[Tamutswa (Verizi)|Tamutswa]] issued a call to arms to all {{wp|Shona people|Rwizi}} men to expel the [[Murungu|varungu]], until 24 January, 1884, when the [[Battle of Munzwa]] saw the destruction of the Verizi capital of [[Munzwa]], and the capture of Tamutswa.

The Arucian Baseball League (Gaullican: Ligue de Baseball Arucien), known as the LBA or ABL, is a professional baseball organisation based in Sainte-Chloé, and one of the oldest and longest lasting professional sporting associations in the world. Since 1999, the League has been comprised of 20 teams spread across 8 countries, with 9 in Sainte-Chloé, 3 in both Bonaventure and in Île d'Émeraude, and 1 from Carucere, Eldmark, Gaullica Imagua and the Assimas, and Satucin each.

With baseball introduced to Colony of Sainte-Chloé from Rizealand throughout the mid 19th century, a professional league modeled off several Rizealand models would be formed in 1876, with four teams. Largely in the shadow of Rizealand's League, it would operate in the winter months, and saw a great deal of cooperation with Rizealand and sharing of players and talent. Until the Great War, the League would remain within Sainte-Chloé, and during the later stages of the war it would temporarily cease operation. After the war, the League would expand and became multi-national sport, especially after the foundation of the United Provinces. The League continued to see expansion throughout the 20th century, growing from 6 teams in 1946 to 20 teams by 1999.

The League's teams are divided into four largely geograhpical divisions, with five in each division. Each team plays a total of 100 games from early November to March, followed by a brief post-season in March. The teams with the highest record in each division move on to a divisional playoff series to play against their opposing division; winners of the divisional series move on to the Arucian Series, the chief title in the League, the winner of which is considered as the yearly champion of the league. Since the foundation of the Arucian Series in 1906, 115 Arucian Series have been held. Of these, the Sainte-Chloé Imperials hold a record 27 titles, as well 49 appearances. The most recent champion is the Sainte-Chloé Sunshine, who won the 2022 series to finish off the 2021-2022 season.
