Kabrinskia, Astrum, and other such stuff of the North Western Astroist states.

So... a republic... instead of another theocracy. This will be interesting.

Agreed.

[Feylonis]

A republic with the state (and only official religion) being Sanguis Astroism. Is it possible? Only time will tell!

[Glaumring the Fox]

Astrum is the anvil that hangs over every choice they make.

Personally, I *love* their name. I think it's a bit of poetic justice in return for not being a theocracy.

I have plans to found a new realm entirely antagonistic to the Farronite Republic in all respects to start a rivalry that will last for the ages.

I'll call it the Celsius Empire.

Make sure you find a way to humorously misspell it. :D

New easter egg: Auto da Fe's now have a 100% chance of success if there are 451 Farronites or more in the region.

In other news, half the church is up in arms at the realm being a republic, while the other half is struggling to figure out why they're up in arms in the first place.

You should all take up arms!

Against Aurvandil!

Seriously, you can be a theocratic republic as D'Hara as a republican monarchy. Who cares? :P

I'm suprsed you didn't forsee some kind of controversy, as you know theocratic government is big in SA and you can't expect to un-theocratize (don't even think thats a word...) a major theocracy and have it pass by unnoticed.

Plus you gave to remember that "back in the day" before Mathurin went into retreat the Church used to have more control over theocracies than it does now. The last time Constantine was settled in a theocracy (barring his brief return during the crusade) something like this would have been unthinkable.

You see it as a un-theocratize  but the side that's not against it doesn't see it that way, they see it as the theocracy got destroyed and a republic was put in its place which is what happened. If I get time to argue in game I will use the argument of "Will every follower of Sanguis Astroism be banned from making any realm but a theocracy in Golden Farrow ever? If so I disagree with the decision, if not how will you decide when enough time has passed? I believe that there should be encouraging to make theocracies, but not force. " Not IC, could they have made it a theocracy, then ran it like a republic? Sure, they could have but they didn't nod it's done with.

And apparently the vulgarity button was used when I called King Turin a bloody fool... I'm pretty sure that's meant to be used if you speak like a peasant, with curses and that sort of thing. Ah well.

Depending where you say it, "bloody" can range from quite mild to a full blown swear word.
