CONSUDATLE

CONSUDATLE (Spanish: Confederación Sudamericana de Atletismo; South American Athletics Confederation) is the continental confederation governing body of athletics for national governing bodies and multi-national federations within South America. CONSUDATLE is one of six area associations of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). CONSUDATLE was founded on May 24, 1918, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[1] Therefore, the ConSudAtle claims to be the oldest athletics area federation of the world. The founder members were Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Successively, the other nations joined: Brazil in 1922, Ecuador and Perú in 1925, Bolivia in 1930, and Colombia in 1937. Venezuela and Paraguay followed later, and Panamá, Guyana and Suriname joined within the last decades.[1]

gollark: The "summon large amounts of bees riding sheep" bit is easy enough, but it's feeding into a "disapionator" outside the big triangular base there, and someone somehow rigged it to draw in bees, kill them when they get near a central thing, and produce cool particle effects while doing so.
gollark: No, that was earlier.
gollark: Technically, they're already self-replicating. The bot production machinery uses bots.
gollark: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
gollark: Bot swarms swarming botishly.
