States of the Church
The Pontifical States, officially the State(s) of the Church, and sometimes referred to as the Patrimony of St. Peter, are the territories under the direct sovereign rule of the Holy See, the governing entity of the Pontifical Church. They are comprised of five states, one corporate territory, and one pontifical territory. The homeland of the Pontifical States is comprised of the states of Ekklesiovsk, Konstantingrad, Isle St. George, and the corporate territory of Clement Isle. They are located on the northern shore and islands of the Northern Sea.
The country was established by Pontifex St. Konstantin I, the first Pontifex of the Pontifical Church and of the Holy See since 2351, immediately preceding the Ekklesiovskian Migration to Isle St. George from the Arkhangelsk region of Russia in 2717. Early settlers dispersed from St. George to surrounding areas including Konstantingrad, Ekklesiovsk, and Aleksandra. Outside of church involvement in the royal affairs of Lancastria and Rockfield, the early history of the nation is marked by a policy of isolation from foreign powers and inwardly by domestic strife.
