Ol' Ripnasty (OOC- derived from the phrase "That's just sicknasty") is overjoyed that somehow someone has been able to put communism and christianity into one thing.

OOC:

I don't plan on being here for some time, but I figure I'll give this a try ;)

IC:

The Roman Exarchate of Mayazteka, commonly known as "the Exarchate" is headed by Roman emigré and veteran of the Zion War, Colonel Anastasios Pappas, who left Romania and settled in Mayazteka after Emperor Constantine XII recognized the Trilateral Commission as a legitimate government and even negotiated the transfer of Gallilee to that assembly. The Exarchate was founded for Orthodox Christians in Mayazteka who wished to live according to Roman law an customs. Anastasios styles himself as an Exarch, though he did not recognize Emperor Constantine XII as his lawful head. While at first expressing doubts due to the civil wars, he has now officially recognized Emperor Michael IX.

The following is the Mayaztekan contract that members of the Exarchate are required to sign:

"I, the undersigned, hereby recognize the Emperor of the Romans, Michael IX as my lawful sovereign, and Colonel Anastasios Pappas, Exarch of Mayazteka, as the legitimate representative of the autocracy. As long as I maintain the Orthodox Christian confession and as long as I desire to be named among the Romans, I will agree to be governed by the Exarch, who acts as a representative of the Autocrat who is the Lord's annointed. I will be considered a Roman citizen, with all the privilages and duties that accompany this designation. I will pay taxes to provide for the functioning of the government, and for the maintanence of hospitals and other charitable institutions. Any military service I preform will only be for the defense of the Exarchate."

OOC: They aren't Marxists, of course. Look up the real Oneida, Kas.

Mayaztecan Contract for the New Oneida Community:

I, the undersigned, am hereby declaring myself to be a Member of the New Oneida Community, and recognizing John Humphrey Noyes, Proprietor, as my President. I am fully aware of the rights and restrictions that my actions implicate, and declare the following:

-I believe in God and the Lord Jesus
-I repudiate the excesses of Puritanism, Catholicism, and Greekism, and realize that that Christians must return to the peaceful roots of Christianity.
-I believe that it is my special duty to God to be happy and to enjoy his creation.
-I believe that the perfect society is the community, and that the way to happiness is to give up selfishness and share everything with my community.
-I repudiate the archaic concepts of private ownership and marriage. I believe in free love and comminality of all possessions of the community.
-I have pledged to work for the good of the community, and and long as I am allowed to do so peacefully, I shall be peaceful unto all other communities in Mayazteca

Perhaps this is a bit old, but I'd like to give a bump.
