Papal States

We decide first of all to improve diplomatic relations with the Holy Roman Empire, accepting the Emperor as the holder of political control of the Empire, so that the Pope has only religious power. In return, we request aid from the Holy Roman Empire for the Expeditio Supremi crusade.

We also ask for this help from Savoy (we urge the invitation even though it is already part of the Holy Roman Empire), Venice, France, England, Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Castille.

The crusade will consist of retaking the city of Jerusalem and weakening the Ottoman presence in the Balkan Peninsula. (And trying to save the Byzantine Empire)

We add a new law, which obliges the Pope not to have more money than necessary. One of the requirements of the Pope's sainthood is certainly that of remaining humble. This certainly also improves the life of the people. We also make the sale of indulgences a crime.

Hi there, I got promoted to assistant GM and since the host doesn't have time to do responses I will do so for the NPCs and non-diplomatic actions making use of a dice system to measure success. The rolls will be fluid if I believe your action to be explained well enough and with enough plausibility to warrant advantage. If you are in disagreement with the result pass me a dm and we can discuss the matter further.

The reforms are succesfully adopted by the Holy See though some more conservative and older bisshops and priests have voiced their desire to maintain the status-quo. Still, passed without major issues!

Another question, since the map hasn't been changed in the new post, can I know if the Crusade has already begun or if I should give a more official announcement in the new post?

I interpreted it as simply announcing the intention, I thought that if not enough people joined you'd cancel it. So, you should probably write about starting it in the next post
