Papal States

The Papal States is a series of territories in the Italian Peninsula under the direct sovereign rule of the High Priest or High Priestess. Before the arrival of the Novayan Expedition the Papal States has enacted policies which blindly tied the people to their religion and unable to see progress. After the arrival of the Novayan Expedition, the Papal States is drastically changed and placed under the direct leadership of several individuals hand-picked by Grand Marshal Borealis Norsoutha III for their duties, competence and skills, intended for it to fall under the NSC's control; the High Priestess, who is rescued alongside the Magician by the expeditionnaires, became the ceremonial head of state. Near the end of Eon-U 5SB143 the Papal States saw the deployment of NSC military units stationed there as per the orders of Lord Admiral Borealis Norsoutha I to secure it, and after the One Sith War Borealis III subsumes control over it as its head of government.
