RP From the Holy Land
-
In the year 1500 AD an earthquake struck the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This earthquake caused much thought amongst the people who thought that perhaps God was punishing them for separating from the Cathari. However the King would have none of this foolishness and set his holy men to meditating and praying, and his scientists and philosophers to staring at skulls deep in thought to discern the true cause of the problem.
In short order a missive was sent, and read in all the cities, hamlets and isolated hermitages of the Kingdom.

People of Jersusalem, Orthodox Catholics everywhere, peace and benedictions be upon you.
As you may or may not be aware a moderate earthquake struck Jerusalem in the wee hours of the morning on the fourteenth day of the month of may, in this the 1500th year of our Lord Jesus Christ. I tasked the Patriarch and the holy monks of the Church and also my scientists to discern the cause of this calamity and they have found an answer. Now despite some suggestions that the monolith was displeased and shook the earth in unholy rage at our glory, the answer Im afraid is much more disturbing.
All reports indicate that the persistance of the religion of the false prophet, and the erroneous cathar faith amongst a good number of the people of this land, this Holy land where OUR LORD walked and was crucified and where the faith both originated and was preserved and brought back to light in recent years, has angered the Lord our God. The scientists, have discerned that the blessings of heaven on our brothers Milan, who despite being so far removed from the Holy City have managed to purge their lands of heretics and heathens where we have not indicate that our faith indeed is favoured of God and the religion of truth, as compared to those traitors who would suggest that the punishment was due to separation from the Cathari. The monks and the patriarch furthermore point out that scripture tells of punishments on those who turn their back on God, and that punishment for such malfeance falls on the righteous and unrighteous alike in the lands where apostates and heretics reside. The persistance of the false prophets followers and the Cathari in this place can only be detestable to God to have brought such a punishment upon this Kingdom where the true religion was born and ressurected, and which Christ our Saviour himself trod with his holy feet.
As such I extort any muslim or cathar with a shred of loyalty to the state to convert to the true faith, Orthodox Catholicism. I furthermore extort the faithful, both clerical and lay to work greater efforts for the conversion of souls to the truth so that the obstinate may be converted in mind and heart to Christ. For in converting the heathen, and showing the way to our brothers in charity and in accordance with the gospels the blessings of God may fall upon as as they have Milan. For indeed as the shadow of Satan and his thralls weakens in this most holy land banished by light, the graces of God will bountifully fall upon us, and strengthen us in our evangelical task to spread the gospel unto the uttermost ends of the Earth.
- King Baldwin of Jerusalem.

The King also took a number of other measures to repair the damage done, including ordering the annexation of the surrounding empty lands to provide work for the men made homeless by the earthquake and with an eye to peacefully incorporating the economic potential of the surrounding lands to future missionary initiatives and construction projects. The remainder of state income was put to rebuilding the infrastructure damaged by the earthquake, including the port at Eilat at the tip of the Gulf of Aqaba and rebuilding damaged scriptoria in the the town of Acre.
The King also took the initiative during this period of making first engagement with the Egyptians, where there is a substantial Orthodox Catholic community in the hope of ensuring the protection of that community from the mob violence that has afflicted them. He also proposed a trading treaty with distant Kolkata and with blessed Milan, with the hope that it would re-establish the ancient spice trading route lost in the red death and substantially cut the length of the trading route between Europe, Asia and East Africa by establishing a secure route through the Holy Land linking east and west in commerce.

@Sonereal: Why does it say that Celtic-Catholism is my state religion? We don't persecute it but it certainly isn't encouraged.

Not sure, but, you actually have to fight to claim land. As such, sending one guy into each adjacent territory is going to do nothing but get your army killed off. I think.
Anyways, orders.
Theocratic Republic of the Crimea - $24
100 pops/$10 into regiments; three will go into each of the maroon territories marked on the map, with the extra going into the southern-central province
Invest $14 into industry

From a chat with Sonereal the Provinces have a Resistance RNG but i'm not sure it's similar to a battle in that you can LOSE an army, on the off chance it's similar to a battle I've just taken the Provinces next to my Forts.
Some clarification would be nice. Sorry Sonereal I'm sure after the first turn we will get into the swing of things.

Japan shall not recognize any of those religions. And only that they demanded the Emperor to do their will is offensive. If the leaders of the two religions dont ask sorry and dont accept that Japan has freedom of religion, the Japanese Army shall move to exterminate both religions.

Diplomatic Notification
The Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Egypt have come to a mutually acceptable agreement over the occupation of the Sinai, a problem that has been of concern in recent years to both nations. After lengthy negotiations the following arrangement has been agreed too.
-
Agreement One: The Kingdom of Egypt forfeits all claim to Sinai to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, with occupation of western sinai being delayed for five cycles as a sign of goodwill by Jerusalem. If a third party colonises the two provinces in question, both parties agree to work together to oust the foreign occupiers, and retake said provinces for the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
:Agreement Two: Both States agree to uphold protections on their muslim and Orthodox Catholic minorities respectively, vowing not to impose forced conversion, to protect them from unjust persecution and to ensure their freedom to worship in their respective holy places.
:Agreement Three: Both states agree to a NAP upon the guarantee of both states upholding the above two agreements. Failure to comply with above agreements forfeits the NAP and is a valid cassus belli for war.

Can these two things please be explained fully?
Excommunication
Does it merely destablise a foreign nation if they have worshippers from your own religion, or does it also cause destabilisation in your own cities if the schism sect is there?
Crusades
Does it cause all followers to declare war or merely give bonuses to those that do? Does it ensure stability while at war?
