The Holy Republic of Porcu was founded by Peter who decided that in order for Catholicism to continue to exist in Hyrule, Catholics had to come together and form a nation. The Hyrulean delegate at the time(Ness Snorlaxia) welcomed the new state and soon the other nations of Hyrule followed suit. The new state florished under the protection of Hyrule and now is quickly becoming a political and ecnonomic center for the rest of Hyrule. St. Peter was the first saint elected to the position of Pope. Pope Peter ruled absolutistically so that relative peace and order was established. After Peter died of natural causes Cardinal Linus was elected to Pope. Unfortunely Pope Linus was assassinated before he could pass any new laws. The only thing that Linus was able to do was create the idea that Porcu was finally ready for some real democracy and political freedom. But it was the newly elected St. Anacletus that started that process. Newly elected Pope Anacletus quickly worked on and proposed a bill easing the control of political freedoms in Porcu. Although, several big company owners strongly opposed this new bill and threatened to shut down a large production of Porcu's industries, essentially paralyzing Porcu, the Papal order for troops of the Pontifical Guard to "persuade" the company owners was too much and after a slight stalemate the bill was passed into law by a vote of 543-231 by the Council of Cardinals. As Porcu grew a threat loomed from the sea. Pirates, seeing how Porcu didn't protect most of it's merchant ships, decided that Porcu's ships were ripe for the looting. At first it started out as an little thing, small ships being taken here and there. But on 01 January, 2006 while Pope Ancletus was away promoting trade with Porcu, two cruisers of the Pontifical Fleet were ambushed and taken by pirates of the Sea Serpents Clan. As soon as Pope Ancletus heard the latest news he ordered Porcu's military to be on high alert and communicated by phone with the mainland, as he could not leave his travels in fear of being shot down by the AA missiles that were now in the possession of the Sea Serpents. While shipments of everykind where halted and the people of Porcu panicked, the Council of Cardinals passed several bills into law. One was that, "From now on all shipments shall be escorted by naval vessels or shall be protected by long-range fighters of the Pontifical Squadron." The second was that, "From now on Porcu's territorial waters shall be patrolled throughly and daily. Also for foreign ships to gain access into Porcu's waters and ports an access code shall be required. This access code will be given to all the trading partners of Porcu. The code shall change monthly and if it is found that any nation has given the code to another nation, without the concent Porcu, it shall be considered an act of war." Now seeing how every ship that is part of the Pontifical Fleet has a GPS signal with it, it wasn't hard to find the ships. But they were taken back at a price(All military battles and statistics are found in "Porcu's Military"). After that military spending increased dramatically and Porcu's military ranked as one of the highest and strongest in the region. Soon Porcu's population was constricted to its tiny island and Pope Anacletus decided to expand Porcu's borders to encompass the entire island of Dalai. Now the natives there were fierce warriors and protected their land and their culture with their lives. But their primitive weapons were no use to the advanced and sophisticated machines/weapons the the Ponitifical Guard possessed. The natives were quickly over run, but Pope Anacletus spared some of the native population and in return the natives worked hard to blend into the rest of the population and put their ancient ways behind them. At one point Christian missionaries tryed to convert the natives(now average) citizens. This was too much for them and a group of natives decided to fight for their independence. At first it was workers striking for better pay, etc. But soon it grew violent and at one point the natives attacked at captured and entire army base in eastern Porcu. This was too much. Pope Anacletus sent out pleas for help to the surrounding nations of Hyrule. With an entire army base at the natives disposal the natives could destroy a large city, about 2-9 million people. As peace talks broke down and the threat of a full-blown-war loomed in the distance, but thanks to the working of God the nation of Greater Mactopia came to the aid of Porcu and lended a very generous amount of help to Porcu. With Porcu's forces marching from the west and Greater Mactopian forces moving from the east. The natives were caught somewhat off guard and were routed without significant loses. For their generous help in the civil war the nation of Greater Mactopia was given a share of Porcu's gold and uranium deposits and became the first foreign share-holder of Porcu's gold and uranium markets. Unfortunatly for Porcu the nation of Pacdude thought that they could invade Porcu to gain access to her gold and uranium mines. Pope Anacletus immediatly broadcasted a speech to Pacdude and the people of Porcu that Porcu would vow to fight to the end if she was ever attacked by the enemy. As the fog of war loomed once again over Porcu the nation of Greater Mactopia once again gave additional forces to aid in the defence of Porcu. Pope Anacletus started preparing Porcu for war and managed to ally themselves with Greater Mactopia. But as history will have it Pope Anacletus died before the war began and St. Clement I was hastingly put into office as Holy Father of Porcu. With the new early detection systems given to them by Greater Mactopia, Porcu learned that the nation of Pacdude was preparing for war and immediate departure. Even though emotions ran deep, the diplomatic effectiveness of Greater Mactopia avoided disaster. The nations of Aternus, and Flamaca were major enemies at the time, but war was avoided and Porcu was saved. With war over and nations looking for somekind of assurance of protection the formerly involved nations of the Great Conflict joined Porcu and Greater Mactopia in the Hyrulian Naval Alliance. This was created by Pope Clement I as a way for nations to collectivly fight pirates and terrorists. This soon became an economical alliance as well as a military alliance. Porcu eventually recovered and even shipped some military equipment to Aternus, including T-90 tanks, Bison long-range bombers, and Saab fighters. Unfortunatly all great leaders have their passing, and there was no exception with Pope Clement I. He was replaced by the younger and more ambitious St. Evaristus as the new Pope. Pope Evristus soon moved to have Porcu as one of Hyrule's elite nations. He started this process by officially founding and setting up the HTO, the Hyrulian Treaty Organization, the predicessor to the Hyrulian Naval Alliance. The HTO soon found a good number of nations that were more than willing to join in its cause. These nations included Greater Mactopia, Flamaca, Southwest Prussia, Aternus, and many more. Soon after its founding the HTO was tested. The nation of Mongolian Warriors was involved in a civil war and requested help from the HTO. The combined forces of the HTO and the forces of Porcu, which had been
