OOC: Okay heres the deal. A new religion is forming fast and gaining many followers. Christians in Largent are feeling somewhat threatened. If you are a strongly religious nation feel free to join in.

The president stood before his cabnet.
"What is the religious emergency you have called to me about?"

"Well sir, there is a cult called De geest. There have been recent reported "miracles" that support their spiritual beliefes."

"Is this a problem?"

"Indeed. They are obtaining many new followers and Christians are felling threatened. They have been the majority for so long this could be bad."

"What exactly are their beleifs?"

"They beleive that their Dirigeant or leader has a special connection with holy and powerful spirits that protect the people."

"We will do nothing at this time. We will have to see how it plays out."

Later that day the Dirigeant sat in the Agia Naos or the holy temple as his inner most circle told him of news.

"Your holyness De Geestism may become a religion yet. More spirits show themselves within our followers drawing more each day."

"This pleases me. Soon Archigos Zio the most sacred spirit is sure to prove present."

"Dirigeant, I come with other news as well. It is suggested we befriend the Pope to show no displeasure towards the Catholics."

"Well, we have a candidate for Cardinal from Largent so it isn't beond our grasp. We must show them a token of our friendship... I've got it! We will deliver the Holy Petra our most prized gem to the Vatican."

"Thats insane!"

"It will be safe. Now do it!"

As the senate was about to begin its meeting the President stood pacing the room thinking if what he was about to do was for the best. Finally he was introduced and he stepped out before the senate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I bleive you know why I called you here today. It has to do wwith the recent emergence of De Geestism. It would be evil an inhumain if we were no to recognize their beliefs as a religion which is why from this day forth De Geestism will be recognized as a religion." Gasps could be herd from his audience as they herd his news. The president then stepped out.

As he ariived back at his office he found several Bishops waiting for him.
"Good day gentlemen."
"Mr. President you know why we are here."
"Indeed."
"We have come to inform you that if the Largentian Catholic church ever feels threatened by this new religion you will have one big mess on your hands."
"I understand. Now I must ask you to leave." As they left the president was left to contemplate the effects of his actions.



Back at the Agia Naos the Dirigeant was pleased by the presidents words. He called to his second in comand. "It is time we construct our first church."
"Yes your holyness."
"I want it decorated with all kinds of jewls and gold, ivory, and silver. Make it a master peice."
"It wouldn't be anything but."
"Ah, yes we must also have a statue of Archigos Zio standing at least 50 feet tall."
"I will find the finest artist. But this will also mean we can't transport the Holy Petra to the vatican. It is the property of Archigos Zio and will be on his statue."
"Then we will find another treasure for the Pope. just do as I say." The man nodded then left.
