A better Zarathustra has never rode a horse Posts: 4,041 Group: Members Member #450 Joined: June 3, 2008	I did some reading and found that Judaism used to be RPed a bit a while back, so I put in the title. However, I haven't seen anything since I've been around. All the same, I'm looking for anyone who isn't RPing any Christian states. I have Ulganian Sahndaq which is Sunni, and Chilsherdia in Asia which is 30% Confucian, 15% Shinto, 5% Jewish/Islamic/other (and 50% atheist :rolleyes: ) Just trying to get an idea of the active non-Christian landscape.

Greater Sakha was traditionally a theocratic fascist state. Its soldiers were traditionally disciplined through strict military training, brutal due to their utter disregard of human worth, and fanatical due to their religious devotion to the God-king.

I just never RP them for the sake of simplicity.

Islamic Georgia, which is basically the Southern region of Georgia is a majority Muslim. Specifically they are 90 % Shi'a and 5% Sunni. Then we have the Langarri Enclave which is located in a small isolated section of Northern Georgia. They will be of a faith I shall call Ganosian and although I have RPed the Ganosians before, I will rework it from the original design so it won't exactly be the same. Basically I'll be taking inspiration from Theosophy if anyone is familiar with it. The Military Republic of Georgia, which is basically the Northern region of Georgia was to be my Genesian state. However, with the rebirth of the Commonwealth I no longer need Genesians there. I haven't really given much though of what I'd replace the Genesians with in Georgia but bringing up the Jewish faith may just inspire me to take them down that road. After all, its been at least a good year or more since we had a strong Jewish state in our world and it would certainly be interesting to. The Eastern Empire isn't really atheist so much as religion is just banned by law. This is due to rise of the Ganosian faith which transformed the early Empire into a theocracy for a while. I've toyed with the idea of created a faith based on the people's devotion to the Empire's most memorable leader, Shoa Conn, to be named the Shoaist Faith, but I don't know if I really wanna go that route.

But, again I really don't know.

Could make for some interesting drama Jews will maintain a constant presence in the background, but eventually, I will likely turn the spotlight on them, have no worries.

I miss him, he was a good RPer and I thought it was good to have at least one strong Jewish state. Of course a Jewish state does not necessarily have to mean an Israeli state. After all we have Germans in India, we've had Italians in China, we've got Russians in Argentina, etc. etc.

I have some plans that could shake Iberia a bit when I am ready. I just don't want to progress the post-Dominion RP too much before the Dominion RP is still finished.

Major Posts: 1,973 Group: Members Member #377 Joined: October 3, 2007	A country called Hispania united all of Spain, and claimed Portugal to be immune from any colonization by establishing a "protectorate over that land. Eventually, it broke up. Huesca is the successor state of Hispania. It seems he's moved out of this region, however, and ragequit as a result of disagreements with the Dominion. (I think.)
