The Renaissance has spread throughout Europe creating new art, ideas, and sciences. Gunpowder and cannons have begun to spread throughout Europe altering warfare forever. The black plague and other dangerous diseases still spread throughout the Old World. There are also rumors that the Spanish have managed to reach this place called the New World but no one knows for sure...

Welcome to papacy your heiness!

(put: (prompt: "What shall you be called holy father?") into $name)
I am your personal advisor, and shall be accompanying you on your journey as the Pope.
Good morning, $name I hope you're ready, shall we get started?
In the beginning of the year of our lord 1500 you have been elected by the council of Cardinals to be the Pope and ruler of the Papal States. The Papal States at this time rules over the center of Italy. [image] Fortunately your predecessors have left the Papal States in a relatively good position politically and economically. Thanks to them you have a full treasury and none of the major powers of Europe are too mad at you (yet). Hopefully you’ll manage to effectively manage the affairs of being the Head of the Church and the ruler of the Papal States effectively.
[[It seems like the first issue has arised]]
As with any new ruler of the realm it is important to consider where you're putting your hard earned money.
Much of your money goes toward the various art projects of your predecessors funded such as the restoration of St. Peter’s Basilica.
<img src="https://media1.britannica.com/eb-media/86/121386-004-04D0E536.jpg">
A fair sum goes to the treasury and paying the Swiss Guard forces. You can obviously alter the budget.

Good decision, you decreased your corruption by 1
Your corruption is a factor with the people you reside over. As you make decisions you will not be aware of what your corruption is. Take caution when picking a risky decision.
It only gets harder from here, but remember every action has a consquence, so keep track of your reputation with the different papal states, otherwise they will declare war, invade you, assassinate you, or overthrow you.

With the French increasing their influence in the Italian region it has brought them closer to our borders.
They though aren’t the only powerful nation that we are close to.
In fact the closest power that we border is Spain which is immediately to our South. The best part though is they hate each other and have frequently been at war against each other.
It might be in the best interests to secure an alliance with one of them...

With the refusal of the legitimization to the Austrian land the Austrian government is enraged with us.
A more pressing issue is the appointment of the new cardinal of France, as is the right of the Pope for many centuries.
The issue is that the rulers of Europe desire to appoint their own cardinals so that they are loyal to the state rather than the Pope.
So either you choose the pope, or let France choose the pope?

The decision to appoint a cardinal is well within the power of the Pope and France has complied with your choice to appoint a cardinal.
France respects that you as the pope chose who you want. But in turn it was who YOU wanted. This can be viewed as selfish to some.
This though in turn has caused the French to reach out toward us with the request to form an alliance. Due to the fact that France controls some of northern Italy, we could take the chance to divide the northern Italian land and increase our control over Italy.

Sire, the Ottomans have taken over Hungary and it is worrying the people.
The rapid rise of the Ottoman Empire in Europe has caused many of the nations in Europe to become worried about their incredibly fast expansion from their anatolian homelands. The ruler of Austria desires a crusade to repel the Ottoman Empire from Hungary as they claimed ownership of the throne of Hungary which is a subject of the Ottoman Empire.

You’ve made a great enemy whether you’ve realized it or not
They have made a daring move to attempt at your removal.
Your end will be a swift but quiet one
A life taken without remorse.
A noise faint and silent, a single stab. Your life ends as you bleed out on the floor unable to move.
Unfortunately you cannot predict what people are capable of, and sometimes things beyond your control can take your life, such as this one.
[[The people mourn over your death | finalStats]]
You have really done it now $name. As your assistant I am obliged to tell you that since you have been in control long enough, the public has created an opinion of you, whether it good or bad.
At random, a multitude of things could happen, murder, being poisoned, suffering disease, which could lead to a premature end of your papacy.
Although it is very unlikely that any of those events could happen. Just be prepared for anything.

The alliance with Spain bodes well sire!
With our alignment with Spain we now have an increased flow of trade with them and our new trade agreements allow us access to the lucrative land that the Spanish have taken in the West Indies. This additional profit allows the option to invest in various new projects.

To WAR!
A crusade requires great preparation as such a mobilization of men and material requires a great amount of time to organize. This makes it important to levy our less exercised powers over the monarchs of Europe.
We can use these powers to levy both men and money from them in order to help in this crusade.

Looks like you wont have to worry about the Ottoman Empire anymore $name.
With the levy of men and cash the crusade was successful in preventing a further invasion of the Ottomans into Europe, though it was be no means definitive. The Ottomans still control all of Hungary but the crusade guarantees that at least they won’t advance into Europe anytime soon.

Oh no, this isnt good.
The attempted crusade into Hungary has failed massively.
The Ottoman army thoroughly routed the crusaders and pushed them into Austria, causing the collapse of the Arch Duchy. The Holy Roman Empire is in chaos as the Princes of the empire attempt to organize a response to liberate Austria that’s now controlled by the Ottoman Empire.

We have no fear for the Ottomans, for they have been pushed back.
With the decreased fear of an Ottoman advance into Europe we can now concern ourselves once more with the affairs of western Europe.
Recently the Spanish have discovered a place that they call the “West Indies.“ It and its surrounding lands are quite valuable. Maybe we could gain some of this money by offering an alliance?
But, the French are also proposing an alliance.

Again, we are victoriousin pushing the Ottomans out of Austria!
The Ottoman Empire has successfully been removed from the Austrian lands and forced back into Hungary. Unfortunately the lack of central unity in the Holy Roman Empire lead to a lack of resolve to force back the Ottomans any further.
Though the Ottomans remain a threat, it is unlikely that they will muster another advance into Europe anytime soon.

This spells the end for our reign sir, it was a pleasure to be under your papacy.
The Ottoman Empire now sieges our city. They have sieged Rome for over a month now after crushing our armies. Even with relief forces from all across Europe they have had no success in stopping the Ottoman siege.
Our fall is inevitable. May we pray that the Turks are merciful.

Despite your holy teachings, those in the church have been offering indulgences, which have brought in money for the churches but is a blantant display of greed and corruption.
A popular method of forgiving sin that has recently appeared is indulgences. This is the method in which sin can be forgiven if a fee is paid to a priest which absolves your sins.
Importantly various priests have been selling them in order to fund various projects like restoring local churches.
Shall you condemn their actions in the name of God, or turn a blind eye and let the priests do as they wish?

There is man who is threatening your power. This man must be apprehended for his teachings are blasphemy!
An advisor reports that news has come in that a german monk named Martin Luther has posted a set of 95 theses on the door to a church claiming various blasphemous things about the church in an attempt to undermine your authority.
No one shall undermine the Church of God or your power $name

This is not good.
The Holy Roman Emperor has failed to convince Luther that he is in the wrong. This has lead many of the German Princes to leave the Catholic faith and form a new sect not centered around the Pope.
The advisors suggest that your holiness needs to make a statement condemning these new heresies.
Your duty as the pope is to control the people under the will of God.

WIth Martin Luther’s theses and our inability to effectively deal with it has lead to mass conversions throughout the princes of the Holy Roman Empire causing Europe to erupt into religious turmoil. Our authority over not just the people Europe but in the Papal States as well has begun to wane in response to this conflict of faiths.
[[Only time can tell if we will regain control | finalStats]]
This does not bode well.
Without the assistance of the armies and funds from western Europe the army for the crusade was primarily funded from our treasury and the Holy Roman Emperor’s. Though even this isn’t enough to stop the coalition of Princes as they consistently defeat the army.
This has lead to increased religious turmoil across Europe.

Au revoir!
As your papal court relocates to Avignon, the French decide to elect a new pope, taking you out of power.
They do not trust your allegiance to the King and decided to elect Clement V as pope.

You are quite old at the time France usurps your position and your role as pope did not uphold the nations as you gave the holy position to the hands of the French who misuse its power

Your heiness, France is well suited for all your papal needs. We have a palace just for you and I believe that God is calling you here to contintue your papacy. -Clement
Clement V begins as your advisor, and makes it prevalent that France is optimal for the papal court, and that papal influence emanating from France is just as powerful if not the same as the Vatican City.
You begin to see what the king of France is trying to do.

You incure a crusade against the Moors and usher in an era of religious purification. As your army fights for you, they become weary, and frightful of the punishment of God for their heinous acts of murder upon the Moors.
To boost morale you decide to offer indulgences. Which if a holy knight pays out a priest, they can be absolved of all sins they have committed and will committ during the crusade.

After letting priests offer indulgences to the holy knights they began to drive the moors out of their land. With all the extra money obtained from indulgences you find yourself with a surplus amount.
Which you can either invest back into Spain to create the Spanish Inquisition to futher protect Spain from religious invaders and to complete religious purification of Spain. Or bring it back into Italy to help the restoration of the city.

With prohibiting indulgences, the moral of the holy knights begins to decrease. The moors keep advancing into Spain, slaughtering members of the crusade.
All countries that supplied knights for this crusade decide it is time for you to step down as pope. Your leadership lead to countless lives lost, countries in poverty and religious invaison.

You’ve infuriated $war beyond what they can take and allow.
This has caused them to declare war and invade the Papal States. Their attack was effective enough to permanently damage our control over the majority of the Papal States. Our land remains occupied by the enemy.
Unfortunately you realize how important one decision can be.

Each decision you made was selfish, you only benefitted from them and decided that you are above the people.
Your power has corrupted you and the people have noticed. They decided to have to executed for your actions.

[[Your reign will not be forgottem | finalStats]]
You must be very unlucky, while traveling between nations, you somehow lost your footing and fell while using your transportation accomedations.
Whether that be a horse, or carriage. Somehow you fell, and it was fatal. You landed perfectly to where you twisted your spine to a point of instant death.
[[That sucks, youre very unlucky | finalStats]]
The black plague is the most common form of death at the moment, and while interacting with foreign nations you have contracted it yourself.
At the time there is no known cure to it besides simple herbs that are not proven to combat the disease.
You slowly wither away as the plague consumes you.
