RULES:

1.One person fills each position per turn

2.In regards to political regime changes (I.E Communism ,Democracy, or civil war) we can have them but try to give atleast a short POD for reasoning.

3.We will start with the OTL Kings and Popes of these nations from the first time they had one. Spain will start off as Castille and may stay as it or reunite

4.List the leaders name, dynasty/House , nick name and years on the throne.For Popes list there nation and any nicknames, along with there years serving.


Our POD is that the first King of Jerusaleum, Godfrey is not killed by an arrow while besieging Acre. He manages to take the city and rules over the Holy Land ten years longer than he should have, cementing some of his ideals in the nascent country.

I do not expect Jerusalem to survive, but it provides a nice PoD for this game. My apologies for any errors in the opening post.

I will cut the list off as soon as it starts getting too large in an attempt to avoid some of the problems with the original thread.
