Withdrawing countries

 * - On 28 March 2018, a spokesperson for TVB confirmed Bargland would be withdrawing from the 2018 contest. Their decision came after demands to the CBU were not met, in which TVB requested the contest reduced its energy consumption by removing lighting and LED screens from the staging set, and requiring each country's delegations to travel using only electric cars. They also revealed in a statement that they were unhappy to be partaking in a contest that was seen as 'part of the problem in the battle our planet faces today with rising climate change and global warming'. They also stated 'it would be immoral for Bargland to continue being complicit by taking part in a contest which is not helping our planet, and is causing more harm than it is good'.
 * - On 3 March 2018, following long talks between the CBU and GRTN, it was decided that Illuminatia would be forced to withdraw from the contest due to the ongoing dispute between the country and Glass, which claims Illuminatia as a Glisten shrapnel. A spokesperson for GRTN confirmed the news stating "It is unreasonable that any shrapnel of Glass be allowed to take part in the Chummervision Song Contest without gaining full recognised sovereignty. Illuminatia is no exception, and while they may have decided to claim their own sovereignty through unofficial means as advised to them by their head of state George Soros, this does not stand any ground legally and internationally. Therefore, as an official shrapnel of Glass, Illuminatia cannot take part in Chummervision as an independent country." This statement was followed up by a head spokesperson at CBU, stating "Well you heard what they said. Personally, the bribe offered to us by Illuminatia was pretty tempting and- oh, we weren't supposed to mention that? Er...Anyway Illuminatia are out alright."
