== Spila in NSC2 ==
The song that represented Spila in the 2nd edition of NSC was selected internally. The song was presented in a live show. It was Toše Proeski singing "Magija" in duet with Esma Redžepova.
"Magija" was performed 13th on the night, succeeding Salona's Lana and preceding Brugia's Shawn McDonald. It was placed 15th in a field of 15 entries, with only 30 points (1 point from Arjastan, 2 points from Lost Isle, 3 points from Xorientia and Hibernia, 6 points from Adamsburg, 7 points from Reym-L-Dneurb and 10 points from Salona). There was an error in counting the votes, but TV Arjastan announced that it officialy gained 30, not 32 points.
It's the only time Spila's finished last in NSC.
