I wanted to make a Papal States style nation, so i was hoping people would give me some ideas for a religion their countries follow.

@Brithwyr

How does this translate into leading the biggest religion in the world-and the immense power that comes with it?

@Ophidian

Well, lol at the Papal States. For the longest time, they were the leaders of the biggest religion in Western Europe. If you want, it could be Autocephalous so more power is delegated to the individual nations

@Brithwyr

I'm extremely leery, as go-GM of allowing a player that kind of influence over, presumably, other PC and NPC nations. It seems quite abusable, regardless of the exact method, to be honest.

@Brithwyr

Well I think we had the idea of there being a pantheon of gods.

There will be a college of cardinals. Every nation is allowed to put forward a Cardinal who will uphold their ideas as a nation. There will be a vote, based on how individual piety, reputation of the national and a little bit of random chance.

I RP for story, not to 'win'. The only way for it to be abused is for a majority of Cardinals and the Hierophant to all agree. And of course, a Cardinal isn't directly answerable go their leader

@Brithwyr

To be honest it sounds like something that would shift the focus of the RP too much-- what managing a cardinal in another nation. We don't need to follow the example of Europe that strongly. I like the idea of a failing Protectorate though that might seek to spread its power/religion to the new world. Just as an idea. Keeps the focus on the Colonialism and brings the possibility o some sweet sweet crusades.

@GreivousKhan

Hmm... Maybe a kind of theocracy, like Malta?

[Dannyrulx]

Did somebody say...
Crusades?

*The entirety of Akitsukuni glances around nervously*

[herosvsbandits]

Would like to make a Tribal, sort of Germanic country, one what continent would I start?

(BTW, I've never used the website before, and this will be my first RP on it, lol)

[herosvsbandits]

<Snipped quote by herosvsbandits>

I have am already planning on running a Germanic Nation, two would be a bit redundant. Apologies.

@duck55223

There couldn't be two? They could be related to one another from a historical standpoint, maybe dislike each other?

[Dannyrulx]

Germany was made up of multiple different tribes and nationalities, so two different tribes wouldn't be too far fetched TBH.

[Brithwyr]

Dead?

[Clockwork giant]

You guys have room for another nation?

[Clockwork giant]

Dead?

@Brithwyr

Damn it!
