The challenge is to make the Comtat a distinct state from France and Papal State up to nowadays.

For the AHC/WI, there's some paths

-What about the "papal Jews", and an eventual Jewish influence on the Comtat?

-The main issue of the comtat was the lack of wheat : each time the French king wanted to make pressure, he blockaded the trade.

-The population wanted an union with France, because of the issue with wheat, and traders because of the custom taxation on foreign products

-Carpentras was traditonnally favourable to independence, if in french sphere of influence, at the contrary of Avignon
