Active ZBA countries

 * Sosij - Despite a streak of seven consecutive qualifications, the country announced following the conclusion of the previous edition that they would be withdrawing indefinitely from the contest due to the contest returning to a very mainstream-centric sound. Spokesperson Mr. Blobby said "HJTMK ERM[IO GREO GDNDFSJ GRJENGA WREKMW, B,BKB BLOBBY ADSKFLB BLOBBY" which translates to "the contest is increasingly being starved of originality and becoming predictable". A return in the future has not been ruled out. The decision was criticized by several "white girl" countries. Sosij later confirmed following a change of broadcaster and a heavy brown envelope from an anonymous Wo Xi citizen.

Inactive ZBA countries

 * Wallica - Despite press and fan speculation, Wallican national broadcaster RW officially stated that it had "absolutely no intention" to return to the contest "in the foreseeable future". The broadcaster explained this stance by pointing out the expensive participation fees, the crippling lack of quality of recent editions, the increasingly predictable nature of the show, and widespread opposition to the contest by the Wallican population, still disgusted at the paedophilia scandal that struck the contest earlier this year. It nonetheless wished luck to allied broadcaster TV Wo Xi for the hosting of this edition. Wallica last participated in the 16th edition and failed to qualify.
