Imperium Offtopicum V

[Mango Elephant]

While Japan only has a 1% Muslim populace, this is simply because the other 99% have chosen not to be Muslims. Those that are Muslims are treated the same as other religions.

I hope your nation does the same for Buddhists/Shinto, however, we will not interfere and we offer a Free Trade Agreement.

We may be river folk but that does not mean we are barbarians. Almost all of us are Muslim, but it's not like we are total bogswappers to heathens.

And if there were any Japanese Buddhists/Shintos in Mali they would be welcome here.

 

[Lord of Elves]

I am not opposing, the Holy Father is, heretic. I am not nonsense, I speak the Father's words and thoughts.

On the order thing, check with a GM that isn't me first. I'm confused about that a little as well.

England has declined to enter any agreement with the heathen, and as stated previously, hope that our relations with the Papacy are not in any way damaged by our momentary lapse in judgement.

This nation was created by devoted Christians; our people are not heretics. We preach the good news by any way possible; it's either we convert heretics by frightening them or there is an eternal threat in our land.

I'm also assuming you're refering to me when you speak "Holy Roman Empire".

Note: As it is close to the time of Martin Luther (50 years? eh?!), we will not be as so forgiving toward the Pope.

 

[Lord of Elves]

As always, England continues to be faithful to His Holiness, and will seek in its actions to show this faith in the future.

 

[Cull]

Thank you, die Monarchie of Holy Roman Empire for reasserting your Christian faith.

@England: See edit of my last post.

OOC: Oh I have things to come after the Reformation.

Joe-

Do the American nations have contact with Europe? I.E. Can I talk/trade with Europe?

 

[Arakhor]

(I believe that Martin Luther was 1507 or thereabouts.)

Burgundy, as a faithful Catholic nation, will answer the righteous call of Pope Gregory III and deny all dealings with the eastern heretics.

Being Byzantium and naming your capital Istanbul makes you not Christian enough son.

You dealt with a heretic nation, and have not shown yourself able to repent just yet.

The Kingdom of Spain would like o accecpt a close alliance with the Pope as we are both Catholic Nations. We are going to have to refrain from any official alliances, though.

 

[Cull]

I do not sign official alliances just yet, but among brothers of the faith, I will always be there.

 

[Reiser]

Related to the Pope's decision, we also will not sign any trade agreements/defensive pacts offered to everyone, but only ones offered to ourselves.

i recall that i dealt with that nation before he revealed to be a heretic.

why dont you do it the sensible way? convert enough people in japan to Christianity and Japan will be forced to convert to Christianity. we've already dispatched a ship containing a large group of Missionaries and heading to Nagasaki. (may not arrive for a while).

 

[Cull]

OOC: Frankly, its quite unrealistic even in non-game terms, and even in game terms, if its even possible at all, not worth doing.

IC: You dealt with him the same time that he revealed himself to be a heretic. I have no reason to convert a heretic's population.
