The Nation Games are an international multi-sport event involving athletes from nations that are aligned with the CSSO (Central Shaneville Sports Organisation) and also members of the Commonwealth of Nations. The event was first held in 2000 in London, England and has taken place every two years since then. The most recent Nation Games were held at TBA in 2017.

Ceremonies
Opening
Various elements frame the opening ceremony of the Nation Games. This ceremony takes place before the events have occurred. The ceremony typically starts with the hoisting of the host country's flag and a performance of its national anthem. The flag of the Central Shaneville Sports Organisation, flag of the last hosting nation, the next hosting nation and the flag of the Commonwealth are also hosted during the opening ceremony. The host nation then presents artistic displays of music, singing, dance and theatre representative of its culture. The artistic presentations have grown in scale and complexity as successive hosts attempt to provide a ceremony that outlasts its predecessor's in terms of memorability.
After the artistic portion of the ceremony, the athletes parade into the stadium grouped by nation. The last hosting nation is traditionally the first nation to enter. Nations then enter the stadium alphabetical or continental wise with the host country's athletes being the last to enter. Speeches are given, formally opening the Games.
Closing
The closing ceremony of the Nation Games takes place after all sporting events have concluded. Flag-bearers from each participating country enter the stadium, followed by the athletes who enter together, without any national distinction. The president of the organizing committee and the CSSO president make their closing speeches and the Games are officially closed. The CSSO president also speaks about the conduct of the games. The mayor of the city that organized the Games transfers the CSSO flag to the president of the CSSO, who then passes it on to the mayor of the city hosting the next Commonwealth Games. The next host nation then also briefly introduces itself with artistic displays of dance and theater representative of its culture. Many great artists and singers had performed at the ceremonies of the Nation Games.
Medal Presentation
A medal ceremony is held after each event is concluded. The winner, second and third-place competitors or teams stand on top of a three-tiered podium to be awarded their respective medals. After the medals are given out by a CSSO member, the national flags of the three medallists are raised while the national anthem of the gold medallist's country plays. Volunteering citizens of the host country also act as hosts during the medal ceremonies, as they aid the officials who present the medals and act as flag-bearers.
