== Background==
Theo's Song Contest is a international fan contest based on Eurovision held by the fictional Theo's Broadcasting Union (TBU). Each country is claimed by real people, and they send a song, the people then vote for their countries favourite song. Since the beginning, Theo's Song Contest has been open to every country that has sent in an application. Palau can borrow from the United States of America, and often does for their artists.
