"How long has it been? Years? Decades? At this point, most of the world just doesn't care. They've accepted it. Accepted him. And what did he do? He spread his lies around the world, brainwashing innocent people with his crazy delusions. Safeguarded by his country's power, few dared defy this man. Who is this man that I so eagerly dismiss as lunatic? None other, than the (former) Holy See Pope Bubba XIII! At one point he may have a loyal follower of Our Lord, but now it is clear that he abused his position for his own personal gain. Now, even if he is gone to God's Kingdom, or more likely not, it is time to clear up the mess that he has caused, and bring those that he has led afar back to the path. He has set a precedent and the person who is decided to succeed him will most definitely follow this corrupt way. So to rectify this situation and bring His people back to Him, I and the God-fearing people of Pantalleria hereby establish the Southern Orthodox Church!"

These were the words Cardinal Niccolo Stagliano spoke as he addressed the crowd in the Pantallerian capital of Zucherro. It was merely days since the end of the Theocratic Revolution that shook the region, uprooting the previous government and instituting Christianity as the State Religion.

OOC: Just so you know, Pope Bubba is believed by most of the world to be dead, though the death was faked.

OOC: Thanks for pointing that out.

Give me a minute to edit the post appropriately before posting anymore.

Okay, I did quick edit, that should make it a bit better. If I did make another n00b mistake, though, please tell me.

We support this new Pope, and we shall do our best to make sure he enjoys his reign of terro...I mean, prosperity.

"It fills the Hanseatic Catholic Church great pride at seeing a new center of Christianity rise than the one that previously existed in Rebel Virginia. We hope that Pantalleria will provide the religious moral and social doctrines to bring Christianity as the one true dominant in the West and maybe some day the world, because far too long we have waited under the lies and corruption of the former Holy See."
-Archbishop Paul Vrobal, of Helsinki

OOC: None that I can see. Well, if you're going to join the wider world of CNRP, have you made a claim in the world map thread? It's pinned up top. And be careful of claiming land that isn't colored white, unless you've already negotiated with the player who owns it.

"The Dragon Empire welcomes yet another brother Christian state to the world. We look forward to possible warm relations and offer to extend a treaty of Friendship if Pantalleria wishes to accept."

OOC: This has already been dealt with, Cyvole has taken the Peru Region which was controlled by Pravus, if you read the recent posts in the World Map thread.

OOC: I don;t often read that thread any more. That's why I said if, cause I wasn't sure...

Byzantium seconds this. We welcome Pantalleria to the world.
