Yeah, I wiped volume two. I'd like to say "whoops" and laugh it off, but that was hours of work.
Any help anyone could give to remake it would be greatly appreciated. I can probably rectify this within a week.

So here's the Lord's Prayer in Aurentine. I didn't include the doxology at the end because I'm assuming Aurentinia is a predominantly Catholic nation.
Here are some words that aren't in the phrasebook that I made up for this prayer:
daglig daily
brödt bread
skuldejöörëer debtor
fören lead (v.)
intör into
versöking temptation (a bit of Afrikaans there)
spären save
Feel free to correct me if I've made mistakes!
Wejs Vaar in hömmel,
tejn naame sent hëligät;
tejn koningdom kööme;
tejn wëns sente fëeret,
öm Ërd, els in hömmel.
Gëive os wejs daglig brödt däsdag,
en vergëve os wejs skulden,
els wej vergëve wejs skuldejöörëeren,
en nëttä före os intör versöking,
aben späre os her keül.
Amen.

Nice job, but I'm not sure about the majority of the country being Catholic, considering that probably many senator's aren't religious.

Religion has not been decided, so assuming it's Catholic is not appropriate at the moment. As a former British colony, we're actually more likely to be Protestant.

I concur. Looking at the list of senators we seem to be a very non-religious nation more than anything else.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

Not necessarily, we're near Italy and look at Malta, it used to be British but the population is 98% Roman Catholic.

Aurentinia is located in the Mediterranean between Spain, France and Italy, all of which are Catholic nations, at least in terms of population. While many of the senators are irreligious, Aurentinia is probably, historically at least, a Catholic nation.

Look at Malta and the Republic of Ireland. They were both part of the British Empire, and they're both predominantly Catholic.

Malta became a colony when it was taken feom napoleon in the early 19th century. It also used to be the host of the knights of rhodes, a catholic crusading order

We have been a colony for longer, and in addition dont have a similar strongly indicated catholic history.

We're close to Italy geographically and used to have close ties with Italy, surely that has some influence.

Judging from the senators and location, we are a lapsed catholic nation.

We've been under British control from the 16th century to now. We're unlikely to be catholic. From the senators we seem to be irreligious as a nation, like Sweden or Denmark.

We havent actively resisted the entire time though, nor do we have a burning hatred of the english, nor were we the subject of many brutal oppressive measures (ok well maybe the last one).
We aint ireland, we are AMERICA!!! Aurentania!!

But we were not part of the HRE during the protestant reformation, and in fact were close enough to spain and italy to make calvinism or lutheranism gaining a substantial hold unlikely.

Less than 60% of people in England are Christians. I don't think we'll be more religious than that.
