Option 1:

If I were to leave the best IIHF Federation there is in   Switzerland   , I would probably go to ....NOWHERE. I would boycott the tournament and set up my own evil state at the North Pole like Santa Deth Claws and pillage the Scandinavian countries of their best players. Norway would be first to fall, followed by Finland and Sweden. UK would slowly be eaten from the inside and the mainland countries of France, Germany, Austria, and Czechia would fade into dust. Russia would put up a small fight but they will fall to my army of elves. Ireland would remain unconquered because elves vs leprechauns is a wash. Japan can continue doing their own thing and, contrary to their own beliefs, no one cares about Canada and USA. Any holdouts in 5 seasons time would probably just give up and allow my empire of ICE to spread over the whole world.
