Brief Description of your nation's History: Formed during the first Crusade alongside the Knights Templar to protect Christian pilgrimes in the Holy Land. The Order was once a powerful force in the Holy Land before their loss to the Muslem hordes. Though no longer the size it once was, it is still a powerful force in the region.
Brief Description of your nation's economy: The majority of the Order's wealth comes from trading and taxes upon exotic goods passing between the ports in the Holy Land and the Mediterranean ports of Europe. This lucradive area of commerce pays for the imports of grain and for the maintinance of the navy. The army and fortresses usually get attention if war appears imminent.

All of your territory is taken... did you see the world map?

I was under the impression that Cyprus wasn't claimed by anyone.

Well, you can take just Cyprus, see those islands and territories were already established NPC's If you want Cyprus, sure, but you can't take the others for starting

That's all i ever planned on having; just merely put down the historical claims.

Well, you said you want Cyprus, Rhodes, and Malta. Well, Rhodes and Malta are under the control of different powers. The only NPC available for you is Cyprus, just to clear up some things

The OP does say that you can contest claims. I imagine that he can say that he believes they are his, but are held by foreign powers.

Exactly; I have no intention of getting everything i want. Besides, this is supposed to be Europe in the Middle Ages; Kingdoms claimed land all the time that were controlled by someone else.

I can imagine the Orthodoxers supporting the Protestant movement to destabilize the Catholic hegemony

[Annaliea]

It seems the Papacy might have to find somewhere else to live Roman Republic for the win! I guess I might have to convert to Orthodoxy

@New Babylonia, So, are you up for an alliance? If so I'll make a post detailing a message to Sparta.
