We can always hope but I don't think so The current record is at 43 countries so it would require all the likely to return plus some of the unlikely. I don't think Kazakhstan or Kosovo will debut next year. Neither of them are active members of the EBU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Kazakhstan or Kosovo will debut next year. Neither of them are active members of the EBU. I think Kosovo will probably not participate, but I'm sure they are trying to in the future. Kazakhstan is a associate member of the EBU, so they are allowed to compete, right? If all the likely will participate, which I think they will, we will have 41 countries in the competition. If Israel gets their **** together before December, they will participate too, which makes it 42 countries. If San Marino won't withdraw we'll have 43 countries. We just need one returning country (Slovakia, sis, how you doing?) or a debutant. I think there is a possibility we'll have 43 countries again. But at the end of the day I would always want quality and not quantity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame Scotland didn't break free from UK when they had the chance. Then we could've had another country by now But you're right about quality and not quantity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny/sad how Luxembourg still has one of the most wins at Eurovision but they will probably never participate again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's a shame but maybe for the best. It's a small country and I don't think the interest for ESC is very big there so they would probably be another San Marino Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch 89,787 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 NNN, inb4 you're right. Yeah, they are richer than San Marino, but I don't think they will be more successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellatrix 34,639 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Another Pretend to be shooketh moment: Monaco won't be returning for 2018 either Monaco had a big break from the contest between 1980 and 2003. Then they came back in 2004 and left again after 2006 after failing to qualify to the final for three years. Their last entry was La Coco-dance which ended up on 21st place out of 23 with 14 points.
