The 1st Olympiad, also known as the 1748 Olympiad, or the Games of the I Olympiad, were an event which took place in the Alibaas Republic from the 7th to 14th of April in 1748.

The Olympiad was formed as a show of goodwill between the nations of the United Provinces, Shunai Handora, De la Arena, and Svaldon. However, none could agree upon a fair host nation until someone suggested it be held in the Alibaas Republic, the oldest nation on Disparatus. Those organizing the event quickly agreed, and petitioned the idea to the Alibaas government, which agreed on the grounds that it too be allowed to participate in the games. This attracted the attention of Dragonoa, whose king also demanded that they be allowed to join. As such, the games began with the 6 largest nations on the planet coming together for the first time in peaceful competition.

By the end of the games, the United Provinces won the most gold medals of any nation by a very slim margin, only one more than Dragonoa. Both Svaldon and the Alibaas Republic recieved the lowest total of gold medals with only one each. De la Arena recieved the largest total of silver medals of any nation, followed by Shunai Handora and the Alibaas Republic. Svaldon recieved the largest number of bronze medals of any nation, followed by Dragonoa and Shunai Handora. Shunai Handora recieved the largest overall total number of medals out of the six nations, with the Alibaas Republic recieving the lowest overall total, just behind Svaldon.
