## **History**

During the great collapse of Arenmisa the country fell into near complete anarchy. Many extremist warlord groups stepped in trying to take control. One of the smaller groups consisted of radical Christians military remnants. It had complete control of Pirat and the nearby port, Pirat was used as the headquarters of the group allowing them to take shelter in an old cathedral dating back many many centuries ago. The group set out to recruit all Christians under one banner and it was an outstanding success considering the turmoil in the country before the collapse. Recruiting both militia members and military remnants the now organization managed to secure many bases and depots helping supply the cause. The movement continued to sweep down with the organization managing to take all of northern and part of central Arenmisa. With the troops stretched thin a Military Junta was formed to stabilize the controlled territory and focus on integral issues. After a year of stabilization a government had been formed and a newly elected Pope was set in power. The military Junta was soon dissolved with minimal resistance with all the members either retiring or stepping down to become politicians or generals. Sweeping reforms were soon set in place as construction of the capital city, otherwise known as the Vatican was set in place. The cathedral was remodeled with many new extensions added but to this day it is still used as a place of worship.

### **Present day History.**

One of the first actions conducted by the Pope was to rebuild the economy. Through aggressive economic policies; after a few years of economic stagnation it started to increase dramatically becoming one of the fastest growing economy's in the world currently peaking at 781 Billion. With these policies many infrastructure projects were set in motion with many highways and railroads being built and connected across the country. Many factories including some foreign ones were also built in major cities helping to bolster the economy and giving jobs to thousands of people. shortly after, Arenmisa's neighbor Tropicana collapsed due to mounting civil unrest and the assassination of its president. Papal Arenmisa took advantage of this taking over the border region of the country and the flood plains under it. A provisional government was built with a fully funded army and training inside Arenmisa. With this the insignificant port city of Tulu was elected to be its capital and it was quickly developed with highways and high-rises. Tropicana stabilized and internal affairs settled, Arenmisa looked outward to the international community. The Pope traded and even meet with such power players such as Steveria and The Horizon Islands. Finally the country began to invest in ICBMs and even establishing a nuclear program. However this came with the downside of being sanctioned and condemned by the IPKC. With this the country and the pope himself began to be referred by the international community as the "Nuclear Pope" due to of course the ongoing nuclear program. This however did not hinder its research and newer ICBMs continue to be built and launched.

## **Military.**

Papal Arenmisa is often regarded of having a good ground force having modern armored vehicles, a well trained and equipped Army, and a modern M1A2 Abrams MBT. Papal Arenmisa also has a sizeable Coastal navy consisting of modern warships. Unfortunately what it lacks is in the sky. The military has a very mediocre airforce only really consisting of old F-20s and Cyclone fighters. While the pilots themselves are taught well they could always use some upgrades.
