Iesus Christi is a leading Catholic nation in The Reich known for its persecution of non-humans (whom they call metahumans.)
History
The nation now known as Iesus Christi has a history going back millennia, however the history of Christian IC goes back to the 10th century, when Celtic missionaries led by St. Finbarr evangelized the various warlords ruling the quasi-Gaelic land. They warlords remained divided, however, until the Crusades when they all decided to unite into one nation, which they called Iesus Christi, under one monarch.
The next significant event in Iesus history was the St. Dominic crusade. Around the time of the Reformation, the kingdom of Iesus Christi waged a generations-long war with its southern areas, which still remained pagan. Finally, the last cheiftain of the south surrendered to the knights of Iesus and the land became known as St. Dominic due to the influential Dominican missionaries following the knights into the area.
After this, Iesus liberalized while still remaining faithfully Catholic. Elves gained significant influence in Iesus society, slavery was abolished and Protestantism legalized, yet the nation by and large stayed faithful to Rome and the monarchy began its patronage of the Church.
World War I would change all that, however. Though the country entered on the side of the Allies, its military record in the conflict was marked with devestation and defeat. Following the war came mismanagement, chaos and anarchy, with the monarchy doing nothing to combat it.
When the king of Iesus did try to combat it, he came under the sway of Marxism and implemented several radical leftist-leaning and anti-Catholic ordinances. (More to come)
