Papal State

The Papal States, situated in Central Europe, is a theocratic nation with borders encompassing the Italian Republic to the north, south, and east, while sharing its western boundary with the Roman Republic. Established centuries ago amidst the turbulent medieval period, its territory and influence have evolved over time, shaped significantly by the ecclesiastical authority of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Papal States emerged in 2013 following World War 3, catalyzed by the Vatican Treaty, which expanded its territory to include Rome, prompting Italy to relocate its capital to Milan after the conflict. This significant geopolitical shift reshaped the region, establishing the Papal States as a modern theocratic nation with a renewed focus on its historical and spiritual heritage.
