The Zamastan Olympic & Paralympic Committee (ZOPC) is the National Olympic Committee and the National Paralympic Committee for Zamastan. It was founded in 1950 as the Zamastan Olympic Committee, and is headquartered in Providence, Northern Isle. The ZOPC changed its name on June 13, 2015, the first Olympic Committee in the world to include the word “Paralympic” in its name. The ZOPC is responsible for supporting, entering and overseeing Zamastanian teams for the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Youth Olympic Games, and the Euronian Games. Unlike most other nations, the Zamastanian government does not have a Ministry of Sports and does not fund its Olympic Committee. This is in part due to the taboo of mixing sports and politics in Zamastan.
