'''DerDer Nation''', also titled '''The DerDer Nation''', is a 2007 tournament [[paintball film]] produced by [[DerDer Productions]]. The 80-minute DVD documents 12 events across three regional American tournament circuits: the [[Xtreme Paintball Sports League]] (XPSL), [[Carolina Field Owners Association]] (CFOA) and [[New England Paintball League]] (NEPL).[1][2]<br />
<br />
Unlike several earlier DerDer films focusing on professional competition, ''DerDer Nation'' concentrates on amateur tournament players competing across the United States.<br />
<br />
== Content ==<br />
<br />
''DerDer Nation'' documents the 2007 regional tournament season, combining match footage from events organised by three separate leagues.<br />
<br />
The production highlights the developing standard of amateur competition and the players seeking to advance into professional tournament paintball.[1]<br />
<br />
=== Tournament coverage ===<br />
<br />
The film contains footage from 12 events across three regional circuits:[1][2]<br />
<br />
* '''[[Xtreme Paintball Sports League]] (XPSL):''' Tournament competition in the western United States.<br />
* '''[[Carolina Field Owners Association]] (CFOA):''' Regional tournament competition in the southeastern United States.<br />
* '''[[New England Paintball League]] (NEPL):''' Tournament competition in the northeastern United States.<br />
<br />
The production brings together footage from these geographically separate circuits into a single season-review DVD.<br />
<br />
== Production and release ==<br />
<br />
''DerDer Nation'' was produced by DerDer Productions and carries a 2007 copyright notice on its original packaging.[1]<br />
<br />
The DVD has a running time of 80 minutes and was advertised as covering 12 tournament events.[1]<br />
<br />
The original retail package was promoted with a complimentary DerDer barrel band and sticker sheet.[2]<br />
<br />
The film appeared in a paintball DVD catalogue published on 10 January 2008, confirming its availability by that date.[2]<br />
<br />
== Soundtrack ==<br />
<br />
The American punk rock band '''900 Pound Gorilla''' has reported an association with the production.<br />
<br />
The band's official biography states that its music appeared on a ''DerDer Nation'' paintball CD.[3]<br />
<br />
The specific songs have not been identified, and it has not been independently established whether the recordings mentioned in the biography were included in the film's DVD soundtrack.<br />
<br />
== DerDer Nation Volume 2 ==<br />
<br />
A follow-up production, ''DerDer Nation Volume 2'', was announced in November 2008 as part of the double-disc release of ''[[Progression (paintball film)|Progression]]''.[4]<br />
<br />
The second volume documented regional paintball competition during the 2008 season, including:<br />
<br />
* XPSL Bakersfield<br />
* CFOA X-Ball Event 1<br />
* GPL Event 1<br />
* XPSL Las Vegas<br />
* XPSL San Bernardino<br />
<br />
Unlike the original ''DerDer Nation'', which covered the XPSL, CFOA and NEPL, the second volume also featured competition from the GPL.[4]<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
<br />
''DerDer Nation'' is included in the DerDer classic paintball video collection hosted by [[BKi Paintball]]. The collection identifies the film as a 2007 production.[5]<br />
