Overview: The Holy Confederacy of Pascoag is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.199 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.
History
Early History
The Plague (Red Death)
The Red Death, which originated in Africa and spread up the Nile River, didn't effect Pascoag that much. The Red Death was a mutation of the Bubonic plague that caused people to swell up, and, sometimes, to literaly burst in a shower of infected blood. The only major impact caused by the plague was the destruction of the former capital, Strasbourg. The plague hit the city hard, and forced the King and his ministers to flee to the backup capital, Paris. Strasbourg was doomed however, as King Andrew ordered the city to be carpet bombed with naplam. A few other cities were struck with the death toll finally reaching 15,725. Finally Egyria discovered a cure for the plague, and distributed it throughout the world.
The Split From The Catholic Church
When the Red Death ended King Andrew II announced that Pascoag was splitting from the Catholic Church, and leaving the Holy League. Although he did not state the Red Death as the cause of the split, he hinted at it in his speach. This caused tensions between Pascoag and the Catholic nations of Europe.
The Catholic Insurgency
Soon after King Andrew II turned away from the Holy Catholic Church a Methodist church in Dieppe was the sight of a horrible terrorist attack. Inside a briefcase that was carried into the church,had been four pounds of C4. The C4 itself would have done a fair bit of damage but hundreds of stainless steel ball bearings had been pressed into the block of explosive. The blast occurred around 12:00 p.m. and at least 132 died and 48 were wounded.
