THE PAPACY

‘And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’-Matthew 16:18.
 
With crisis and anarchy enveloping a troubled continent and world, the Papacy responds energetically. 
 
THE PROMOTION OF LEARNING
Captailism looked a very shallow and unfavourable thing in the light of the crisis that had shook the world. The Church needed to give Her own answers, translating eternal principle to current action. And to do that, She needs learned men to turn to.
 
The Church embraces intellectuals and authors like G.K Chesterton, J.R.R Tolkien and Hilaire Belloc in the English-speaking world, the known Thomist Jacques Maritain and Paul Clodel in the French, and countless other literary and philosophical Catholic greats. 
 
The Church attempts to articulate and promote Belloc’s theory of ‘Distributism’, harking back to the Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII. Expressed chiefly in ‘The Servile State’, Pope Innocent sets up the ‘Catholic Economic Forum’ to further explore these ideas, looking into practical research to alleviate problems. Innocent argues that modern, industrial capitalism presses misery on many; Socialism and Capitalism are equally exploitative and untrustworthy.
 
The Pope re-models the Catholic school system. Catholic schools, already quite exclusive a treasure available only to the Faithful, are made bastions of these Social Teachings of Charity. (See below) Free school meals and high quality materials are not the standard throughout the world, but they will be in Catholic schools, Innocent orders.
 
‘FOR I WAS HUNGRY...’
‘...And ye gave me not to eat.’ The Parable of the Sheep and Goats rang heavily in Pope Innocent’s mind. He was determined to do something. In a symbolic act of solidarity, the Papal Apartments are much reduced in size; they are made much more Spartan. The Pope fasts regularly and lives on a small income. The spare income is donated to helping the Roman Poor. 
 
But symbolism alone would not bring comfort to men. ‘Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?’ (James 2:24.) It was the Pope’s task to allow men to do such works of Charity. The tools were already there. With aid Orders and Lay Movements set up in the previous year, they respond quickly to crisis, stepping up quickly in afflicted countries and helping out the unemployed where possible.
 
’Remember the message of Our Lady,’ the Pope says in a highly-publicised interview, referring to the Marian Apparition at Fatima. ‘We should pray, of course. But it is also incumbent upon us to help those less fortunate.’ This is the beginning of a massive drive for recruits and donations to the Catholic Hospital Movement and the Order of St. John.
 
Importantly, he also approaches the Orthodox Patriarchs with close co-operation in this endeavour. It is hoped that working together on a common goal – helping the mass of unemployed and destitute – will bring the Churches closer together. 
 

 

 

ACTIONS:
-Promoting and researching Catholic social and economic thought. Gathering Catholic intellectuals for a great effort in the form of the Catholic Economic Forum.
-Helping the mass of unemployed by strong action. Promoting the Hospital Movement and the Order of St. John. Offering to work closely with the Orthodox on this issue.
-The Council of Nicaea held. (To be done.)

Russia

Sad/Epic Music

As Vladimir looked out the window of the Winter Palace, he sat with the Tsar and discussed the state of the world and what little news came out of Japan. With the rapid collapse of the British Navy, Russia found itself in a peculiar position. After being one of the weakest and most backward nations, within a decade the country had become the last light in the free world. Democracy was dying, and the Union seemed to be all that was left. The Tsar understood his role in the Union, and when it came to Finland many believed he should once again grow in power, but for Russia to continue its ascent it had to remain as the beacon that Purishkevich was determined the create, and he realized now was the time.

 

In 1914, as war broke out throughout western Europe, Vladimir Purishkevich led the beginning of a revolution would take a full six years to complete, and in the end, it found itself round full circle. What initially seemed to be a right-wing democracy, specifically excluding the political left, soon evolved under the President’s lead into a modern democracy which supported and protected its constituents. Rather than subjugate and war with the states of Poland and Ukraine, who had opted to come to the table, were freed as autonomous states within the Russian Union. After a truce with the Soviets, the President attempted to aid the French in their war against Germany, but soon after the Soviets and Caucasians betrayed the nation, plunging them back into a civil war which would continue until 1920.

 

Within the Union, education initiatives and foreign investments helped to propel Russia into a new level of success, allowing them to even surpass France who had long been a Great Power in Europe. Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Brusilovo have all become major cities which rather than be ruined by the Civil War, had managed to be grown or rebuilt into something better than it had been before. In the East, displaced Russians have begun to settle the areas of Russia which long held vital resources and industrial potential, but had always been too far for any use, but no longer. Railways created a web of connections throughout Russia in which its people could access almost the entire country.

 

As he prepared for his speech, the President spoke with his Prime Minister for what would likely be the last time, confirming his fears of the East and his hope for a firm alliance in Europe, but stating that he too had realized he had been misguided. Ivan Ilyin would enter the Duma’s Chambers without any idea of what was about to happen.

 

“Russia once was a nation encumbered by its pride, its inability to evolve, and a complete disregard for the common man. For years Russia had been split into two classes, with the wide majority of men being forced to the bottom. Throughout Europe, this is still present, but no longer is it here. The Union has formed a society based around the equality of man, his natural rights, and the liberty all are entitled to in their life. The Duma has done its part in providing this, but we did our part in preventing it as well. That is over. After negotiations with many moderate and left-leaning groups in Russia, I have decided to call for emergency elections, in which we can dismantle the National Front, and allow for elections which do not cause for the political right and extremists to dominate and control the elections.”

 

As the President finished his sentence, the Duma roared in anger at the man. Prime Minister Ilyin looked at the man, understanding the President knew this meant he would likely be forced to end his time in office following the elections. President Purishkevich allowed them a few moments of anger, before silencing the room with a single shout. He continued, stating that the Tsar would also be allowed an increased role in the government, respecting their tradition and his useful guidance in their recent dealings with Rome. The President intends to put a bill through the Duma, and eventually the Grand Assembly, allowing him to play a slightly more active, though still powerless, role in the government.

As the President spoke, further work also began. The Federal Security Service, who had spent years time operating in Siberia and Caucasia, were called forth and spread throughout the Union, beginning to look into potential spy activity in naval yards and oil fields especially. In addition to this, a new division is formed and training begins.

 

Finally, the Duma institutes new bills which offer significant tax benefits for businesses who migrate into Russia, as well as protections for the wealth of the wealthier men in Russia. While it is clear they will be much larger taxes, their money was not being sucked away at an unfair rate. It is hoped that this will attract American and Western European businessmen, especially those such as Ford, Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrop.

 

Actions

President Purishkevich calls for emergency elections in the Duma while disbanding the National Front. It is expected the monarchists and socialists will emerge with the minorities, while the nationalists maintain the majority. It is expected the Rightists and other radical factions will lose power due to this action, including the Prime Minister, Ivan Ilyn. (Even though nationalists hold a majority, PM will be chosen from either monarchists or socialists. Viktor Chernov or Alexei Brusilov)

 

The FSB undergoes training in new fields. They also hope to root out foreign saboteurs who may exist in Union facilities.

 

The Special Projects Bureau is created and is put in charge of setting up which prioritizes in the development of spectacular and supposedly “impossible” research projects. The Duma hopes to dedicate an initial sum of $50,000,000 to their cause. Many of the American scientists being lured into the company would be offered roles here. Albert Einstein would be specifically contacted for a role within the Bureau.

 

Research into base model zeppelins begins in Russia.

 

Russian aviation companies continue to research and attempt to produce a model of an airplane made entirely of metal. Meanwhile, mono-wing bombers are also developed as a backup.

 

Russian auto facilities begin to pivot their focus from civilian vehicles to primarily military vehicles, such as trucks and armored cars. It is hoped that while Polish Auto will dominate the civilian sector and aspects of the military sector, the Russian Auto companies can produce certain models. Trucks which can be used to transport goods with more versatility than rails become their main focus.

 

American businessmen are lured into the country with tax breaks and decreased taxes on existing wealth, while foreign scientists are hoped to be persuaded to defect to Russia under the promise of ideological and scientific freedom, as well as funding for even their most wild ideas.

 

The Duma also sets up funds for two key long term scientific projects in Russia. The treatment and eventual cure of the Dutch Flu is a continued focus of the Duma and Russian Grand Assemblymen. Cryptography also receives seed funding, with the hope that Russia can successfully begin to encrypt their messages so that foreign nations could not access the government’s intelligence.

THE COUNCIL OF NICAEA

But by far the most momentous development of the year was the Council of Nicaea. With the full sponsorship of the Ottoman and Russian governments secured, the Papacy hopes to bring the Orthodox back into the fold. The Patriarch of Constantinople is allowed to retain his ‘Primus Inter Pares’ (First among equals) status among the Bishops of the East; the ability afforded him by the Ottoman Emperor to be recognised as the chief representative of Christians in the Caliphate is retained. Most Orthodox liturgical practises will also be retained. In their turn, the Orthodox Bishops will accept Catholic doctrine and Papal Supremacy.

 

Meanwhile, it is reasoned that, as part of a greater, Catholic whole, a unified Church will have a greater voice: Christians around the world will be all the more secure and have all the more resources to call upon. If there is persecution, if the Christians fall upon hard times and cannot afford the Jizya, or if the Church needs a permission for a Basilica here or a Cathedral there, it is as a single ‘Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church’ that She will be best placed to articulate these things. The Pope, who has excellent relations with both the Ottoman and Russian monarchs, is best placed to be the universal protector of Christians.

 

In the wake of the Council deep in Ottoman territory, the Pope praises the Caliph, Mehmed V, and encourages Christians to see him as a legitimate and fair ruler. ‘His action in helping this Council proves his goodwill,’ he said. ‘I encourage Christians to pay their taxes and help the rebuilding efforts. For it is written: ‘Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God, the things that are God’s.’ (Matthew 22:21)

 

With the Patriarchs of Constantinople and Moscow on side, it is hoped the others will soon follow.

 

ADDITIONAL ACTIONS

-Council held at Nicaea for Church unity.

-Ottoman Emperor praised.

WAR
That was on the headline of every newspaper in Japan. In order to bring glory to the East and end British dominance in India war is declared on the British Empire. The glorious armies of the East marched westwards to free their Indian brethern whilst the glorious navy prepared itself for battle against the Far east squadron of the Royal Navy. In order to make the war end faster the economy is fully mobilized in order to prepare for this war. Due to preperations for Armageddon the Empire is one of the few nations in the world able to fully mobilize their economy due to their acces to numerous strategic resources. Thus several more ships are ordered for the war and the army is fully mobilized.

 

ACTIONS

An additional order is put out for 3 dreadnoughts, 2 aircraft carriers and 1 battleship. As well as 5 more armored cruisers. [MOD]

 

The economy of the empire is switched to a war economy, in order to fully reach it’s potential in war. [MOD]

 

Reserach into aeroplane technology continues. Focusing on both naval bombers and standard fighter planes. Especially desigining them so they can be used on aircraft carriers. [MOD]

 

More research is done on halftracks and other machines that could be used for supplies. As well as putting these machines into production [MOD]

 

Just in case, fortification accros the Northern border begins. At least if there are enough funds left over. In order to cover the Empire’s weakest border. [MOD]

 

The war in India continues [Will PM plans]

1921

 

Rumors abound of the Balkan Pact (Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Serbia) mobilizing. It seems with the world in literal chaos, the Fascist Kings were ready to play the part of Crow.

 

The growing ideological and religious differences have cracked the seams of society. With nations and alliances all started and varied, many did not know their true ally anymore. As the Plague runs rife, killing tens of millions, sectarian violence increases.

 

Finland continues her monarchical meddling, now supported by the PM. They propose to draft a bill giving the Tsar more power next year. However the Nationalist party reigns supreme. In a masterful elections, they win supremacy.

 

Norway officially enters civil war. With Great Britain in flames, all support had dried up. The Socialist were now openly purging the army and government.

The World Market and Trade was also seeing a shift. While Europe was in shambles, other nations had seized the opportunity. Japan was the world’s rising power. Her market was self contained, and sufficient. Merged with several other Asian states, and backed by rich investors, Japanese stock and oil shares was steadily increasing, while nations like Great Britain and France fall behind.

At a convention in Mecca, the Islamic Caliphate is established. A Pan-Islam cult, it was a truly powerful Empire. Spanning from Istanbul, to Cairo, to the Saudis, to the Syrians, Persians, Turks, and many minorities. Controlling most of the world’s current oil, they have in one stroke become one of the richest nations on Terra.

 

The Mexicans continue to seize U.S land. Several break away states are now riddled with violence and anarchy. The Government is held up only by Roosevelt and the Bull Moose. Across American colonies and plantations revolts begin. The ABC navy and army is mobilized, and official war in the Americas begins.

 

gettyimages-113492973-2.jpg

 

Ethiopia continues to beat the Italians in multiple victories. The rest of Africa is in open rebellion to the various western powers.

 

In France martial law is declared, and the army moves to secure the nation and her borders.

 

120 Million people are confirmed dead of the Dutch Flu, a further 50 million estimated dead or dying. The world by now has felt this across the board. Nations are suffering from a collapsing world economy, and exhausted and sick workforces.

 

The Greater German Reich after consolidating her Austrian gains is now in full splendor. Though Japan had struck where it hurt, the German Reich still wrapped up the Austrian war. Now her armies were ready to deploy, and are able to defend borders. The German navy not hit by Japan begins to refuel form the Ottomans.

 

A new German Zeppelin Carrier debuts. With the U.S shattered, Germany was able to source helium. With this grand chemical, a truly powerful German Zeppelin emerges. One that is rumored to deploy ten planes at a time

 

German Mk III tanks also debut, the rival of any French or British heavy model.

 

The War in India rages! Japanese mobilized divisions and millions of Chinese troops with German equipment are pouring through the mountain passes. The Indian regulars and British garrisons are flocking to meet them. As the war erupts in India proper, it becomes far bloodier. Desperate Brits and Indians dig trenches, while Japanese motor divisions and cavalry simply encircle them, and leave them for the infantry to mop up. At sea the British cling to their zone, and do not make any outward moves. 

 


Poland

 

The Coronation takes place without a hitch! However one invited member makes no appearance. It would seem Hungary had no desire to come. In fact, they were quite at odds with poland. This new Polish state had swept into Galicia, and parts of Austria. The Hungarians saw this as rightfully theirs. Tensions brew, and rumors of secret mobilization abound. The Polish offer of friendship is ignored.

 

Some renowned officials, scientist, etc do indeed travel to Poland. However Poland herself was not exactly the safest choice. Though it was safe, and growing, she was in the middle of a very, very, tense region.

 

Lithuanian/Polish reforms go as planned.

 

In such harrowing times this rhetoric and tactic actually works. A more stable Polish government is reformed under Pilsudki. However the alienated radicals on both sides leave politics all together, and seemingly disappear from the radar….

 

4 Year plan continues, and the Polish Rothschilds help encourage more Austrians to come over.

 

Poland begins small arms and car exports, helping boost the trade.

 

The Dutch Dlu runs rampant, killing millions world wide.

 

Polish Security tightens, however they are quite untrained and lack experience. They’d have no idea if the Japanese bogey man was in their land.

 

With this lack of force on the border, raids and border skirmishes ensue. It seems the Hungarian’s truly are mobilizing.

 

Flocks of Poles from Galicia join the army! At least two hundred and fifty thousand from the entire Kingdom add to the ranks. However they are raw recruits, and mostly lack any form of discipline or equipment.

 

Poland first armored car is officially ready for use. Her first mobile regiment is formed, and work into FAR more devious mechanization begins…..

Ireland

 

The Irish agriculture market was now so potent she was exporting food the the starving Great Powers. Her farmers with subsidies were buying better equipment, and cultivating more land. This ‘golden’ era of Irish agriculture truly begins.

 

Industry by now is dubbed ‘Tiny Britain’ Irish markets now produce large amounts of domestic and military goods. Her army is better equipped than most any other nation on the world. (If one does not count scale)

 

Gaelic reform continues as planned!

 

Irish propaganda begins to stir a growing Irish Nationalist movement, regardless of religion.

The Papacy

 

This theory of Distributism is widely embraced. As Italy burns into fascism and totalitarian rule, Rome is filled with literary masters, influential priest, and so many more. Work begins to draft a thesis on which to base their reforms. School reforms go as planned. However outside of Rome the world is far more perilous. Catholic schools abroad are a very mixed bag.

 

The Orthodox and Catholic churches abroad are slow to respond. With so many world events, it is hard to keep focus. However the seeds are laid, and communications made. Work continues.

 

chaplain-french-ww1-edit.jpg

 

Russia

 

The emergency vote swings in total favor of the Nationalist Front plans! At least in formal government now the Broad party retains rule. The Monarchist Viktor Chernov wins the seat of PM. As in Poland, the fascist movement goes underground. 

 

Though unable for now to detect any saboteurs (perhaps none are there?), the FSB continues their expanded training policy.

 

For now this expanded RnD team reach for lofty heights all focus on Zeppelins. Alongside armored trains, Russia's roster of exotic vehicles is growing fast.

 

Work continues. For now Russian biplane fighters are almost Germany’s equal, and deadly. The Russian pilot class is a different story. Many veterans had gone home. Russian flight schools were growing but not well managed. Regardless Russia’s air wing is a true air power.

 

Alongside Poland Russia shifts and debuts their first armored car. Work begins into more trucks and tracks as well.

 

Russia begins to amass many fleeing Americans. As a result her research productivity is spiking.

The Caliphate

 

This shift from west to east suits the Ottomans very well. Alongside events that transpired at mecca, the Caliphate was expanding literally daily.

Tripoli, now a tax haven, and rai-way hub, will begin to grow very rapidly in influence. Other areas also growing in prominence and power; Cairo, Alexandria, Saudi Arabia, Istanbul. Investors and merchants flood in. With secure oil supplies, arguably the last in the world, the Caliphate is on path to be very rich, and VERY powerful.

 

The war continues against a faltering Perisa. This army group of Ottoman veterans begin to make quick work of the Persian regulars. It is only through British aid and even volunteers as well that she remains intact.

 

Propaganda begins to take seed, but no progress for now in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 

And so the Catholic Convention is chosen as the time for the C.P.U, Young Turks, and Islamic extremist to make their presence known. The last straw, they strike. For ten years now the Sultan and his loyalist have been hunting and fighting the CPU coalition. They had gone underground, and embedded deep. Now activated, across the Empire, cells conduct terrorist strikes. Even the Sultan is targeted in an assassination. A bomb going off under his car turns his legs into shredded meat. But he is rushed to the hospital, and planned to survive. A practical civil war has just begun.

 

These Turkish crack downs come just in time. Averting total civil war, these Sultan loyalist, police, and army regulars begin to fight the Turks, and islamic radicals. An unexpected ally comes in the form of the Arabs. They join this war to defend the newly established Caliphate.

 

Imperial Railroad continues slightly slower than planned!

 

Baku continues.

Nicae

 

Though the Papacy and orthodoxy were drawing closer, things were still tense. The world itself was shattering, and religion seemed more and more important. In the Islamic Caliphate catholics are being beheaded or protected depending on where they live.

 

Empire of the Rising Sun

 

Naval plans continue as planned.

 

Japan’s long prepare economy begins a truly terrifying shift to total military war.

 

Research and Entrenchment continue as planned.

 

BN-DJ416_0623WW_G_20140623054254.jpg

 

France

 

War Industry Board formation begins to help France prepare for perhaps another war. This tattered Empire still had some fang it would seem. Albeit cracked and askew.

 

The absolutely veteran P.L.A and Grand Armee enact a quick and efficient martial law. This elite army begins to hold France, as the chaos of Armageddon rips the world apart. However France had been in serious trouble and death for years and years now. Though elite, her army was almost the last of Fighting France. So many millions have died in war, or of disease.

 

Continued production lines of new French vehicles roll out.

THE HOLY SEE

’Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world.’ (John 18:36.)

 

THE UNIVERSAL HEAD

 

In reaction to the attacks on Christians by the Young Turks, the Pope gives an immediate and powerful response. The Papacy sets up many shanty towns for refuge in Syria and Lebanon to which Christian refugees in Anatolia can temporarily flood into. An immense effort and sacrifice is put into this. The Pope’s continued message of Church Unity rings through, with Eastern and Western Christians alike given shelter and aid by the Church.

 

But, amazingly, the Holy Father does not stop there. If he is to be seen as Universal Head of Christendom, he must seal that by direct action. For a month, the Council at Nicaea is given a temporary recess. In that time, the Pope races to Syria himself to visit the refugee camps and give help to the afflicted. By taking only half a dozen Swiss guardsmen, he puts himself in immense danger, and is practically an open target for Young Turks and other fanatics. But he continues to visit the camps: preaching, supporting and blessing. It is hoped this singular act of sheer courage will convince the world that the Pope is very, very serious on this matter, and that the Orthodox will begin to see him as the Head and Protector of Christendom.

 

Assuming the Pope returns, he re-convenes the Council, pressing further for a mending of the Schism. The Pope also re-iterates his will for Christians to support the Caliph’s war on terror. ‘Only together can we combat this scourge; this evil cabal of men murdering innocent blood.’

’This is my body, which is given for you.’ (Luke 22:19)

 

MISSIONARY WORK

 

With much of the Church’s resources engaged in combating the persecution in the East or the crisis in the West, the Pope has but little for his planned missionary expedition to Japan. However, a fervent heart and an iron will could achieve much, Innocent reckoned. Several missions are dispatched to Japan to begin converting the local populace and administering the Sacraments. Small, humble chapels are set up for now. 

 

In addition, these Japanese missions include one to Korea, and several to China as well. It is hoped these countries will be more open to conversion efforts.

 

ACTIONS

 

-Pope goes full madman and goes into the warzone himself to help set up refugee camps.

-Council of Nicaea continues, in the light of the persecution and of the Pope’s courage. 

-Several missions to Japan and China; one to Korea. 

-Charity and aid work done by the lay movements set up by the Pope over the previous year and a half continue their work.

Michael Collins awoke, the sun was shining through his bedroom windows. He turned over in his bed and saw Kitty still asleep and for a moment watched her sleep and felt happy and smiled. They had been married for five months, and Kitty was Pregnant with their first child, the two

lived in a house in Queenstown County Cork, where by now the city  was in the Gaeltacht, and the city had grown with the rest of the country and had around 11k inhabitants. In Ireland cities, Towns, Villages, and the rural areas were filling up with people again. And the total population of the Island was now over 9 million. Meaning not only had the population returned to pre famine levels, but people were starting to really embrace their Gaelic identity, even outside of the Gaeltacht, which had also expanded. Irish people were speaking Gaelic in their daily lives. Industry and manufacturing was and had been growing throughout the last 8 years, and the life expectancy rates have gone up, while the child mortality rates have gone down. Ireland is on a path to no longer be the poor peasant island in Europe, but a prosperous, developed nation like Britain, Germany, france, and the like. The government planned to maintain funding for Industry growth, but also to start passing much needed agricultural reforms, fund public works like roads and rails, and construction projects like housing.


 

Arthur Griffith collapsed on his way home one day in August, Doctors diagnosed him with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. And he died in hospital a few days later.



 

   


 







 

______________________________________________________

 

Internal Reform

    Gaelic revival policies continues, it's been going really well so the goal is to keep going the same pace.

 

Textile manufacturing promotion is continued.

 

Irish Nationalism is promoted, propaganda is spread to further the Irish identity into the consciousness of the masses.

 

Weapon production, and Munitions factories start to hire in mass, thousands of jobs all across Ireland will be available for men and women.

Aswell, many other factories and businesses begin to open including canning factories, agricultural machinery, Textile mills,soap making factories, grains mills, bacon curing shops, milk pasteurization plants, cheese, and butter manufacturies scattered throughout much of the country, though factories are more concentrated in the north.

 

Ireland starts its own radio broadcast station, called IBC, Irish Broadcasting channel, and someone in Clare starts a radio station that plays music in English and Gaelic over the air and gives local news updates in Gaelic.
