The Crusader States

== Basic Information ==
The Crusader States is an alliance between the Hospitallers, Teutons and CoE created post-reforged to replace the Crusader States of old TTC. It has gone through several name changes and rebrandings throughout its history.
== Name Debate ==
Originally the Crusader States alliance beared a latin name, but this was soon changed by the leaders of that time, they adopted the name "Holy Crusader Empire", but after much ridicule from the wider community, this was changed to the Holy Crusader Legion before bearing the name "The Catholic Empire" and then switching back to the Holy Crusader Legion after the emperorship was abolished. To settle the name debate, AmazingAgentGoo proposed the alliance be rebranded once more to The Crusader States to emulate the old state that previously included the Knights Templar. The council accepted this and the name debate was settled.
== Crisis of the Premiership & Subsequent Espionage ==
Upon its' original creation, the alliance beared an emperor, who was DesiredCorvus, the current pope at the time. However in the spring of 2020, Gerdafonik publicly opposed this leadership and persuaded the council to remove the position of emperor. Months later in August 2020, shararia alongside DesiredCorvus with input from Grandmaster britnuka of the Hospitallers proposed to once again restablish the position of emperor with DesiredCorvus heading the premiership once again. This had support from most current high ranks, but fell short due to fierce opposition from retired councilors and AmazingAgentGoo. Byzantine low rank Polarfonik also tried to sway the vote by publishing information from a private source, this pushed former Grandmaster of the Hospitallers Desired_Ghost to claim that this was a Hospitaller power grab. This was settled when AmazingAgentGoo and the aye faction reached a compromise which didn't reestablish the position of emperor, but severly limited the powers of retired high ranks to prevent such a dispute occuring in the future. Polarfonik was banned from the Hospitaller Minecraft server and is/has been considered for a blacklist from the Hospitallers. DesiredCorvus left the genre around a week after to focus on his personal life.
