Your religion is The Faith, the Faith is summarized
here.
Your economy is what you get to spend every turn, like normal. Organizations, however, have their own way of getting income. Instead of Cities/Land/Trade, they get it via Donations/Tithes/Land
Donations are average one-time donations by the faithful, usually by the rich.
Tithes are long-term donations by religious organizations established tax-style. it is paid mostly by the poor.
Land are lands that you rule directly or indirectly which you get income from. If you own enough, you can reorganize into a state to get more income, but lose benefits of being an Organization.
These benefits are best summarized by inherently large confidence and strong culture established for singular or set purposes.
Organization styles affect how it is organized. Of course, there are many names for similiar things, but once named I will try to make them distinct. You can name it whatever and organize it whatever.
Assets are physical things you own.
Personnel are dudes loyal to you. As of now, you have 4 Iron Lance Units.
Of course, you would want to achieve your purpose, but then there are also lots of other things to gain as an organization.

As of now, the main area which the Iron Prophet has seen to spread or defend the Faith is the Sarkish Confederacy-Tuscany area on the map. Other areas are Kentus (on Brittania) Hamburg (near Vahshallah) and Cytria (Lombardy).
The Iron Lances as an organization was long ago attracting fanatical elements of the Faith. Recently, they safeguard the results of the Conference in Spire-namely various peace treaties, defensive pacts and such.
Tycho is the player that formed the Iron Lances. Sadly, it has outgrown him.
Here are some writings for the Iron lances.
