Holy League of Tripoli

The Holy League of Tripoli is an unrecognized nation located north of the Transjordan coast in the approximate location of the historical County of Tripoli. It is a self proclaimed “crusader state” with an unusually high white minority. This is due to high levels of immigration from pastors, priests, and christian extremists who have migrated to the area for the “Tenth and Final Crusade.” The H.L.T has received large amounts of funding from Southern Baptist groups, Televangelists & megachurches, what remains of the Catholic church, and various state actors from the Anti-Communist Coalition who wish to see the region's continued instability.

History
The Holy League of Tripoli was founded in 2000 by former A.E. army chaplin Octavio Vladislav. After deserting with a few of his most ardent supporters from the Aeron Empire, during an unsuccessful operation to drive out communists forces from Trans Jordan, Vladislav traveled the middle east preaching of retaking the Holy Land from the godless atheists who knew nothing of it's sacredness and would defile her. Despite operating mostly as an insurgency, he gained a significant following and baptized many Christians in the area. In November of 1999, Vladislav gathered his forces and lead a march on Jerusalem. As many of the communist forces were preoccupied elsewhere in the world, they were able to take the city and hold it for 11 days before reinforcements arrived. Not to be defeated, Vladislav and his forces retreated and established themselves in Tripoli where support for their movement was the strongest. On the 22nd of January, Vladislav announced to the world that the newly established Holy League of Tripoli would stand as a bulwark against atheist domination and that once again the banner of the cross would fly over Jerusalem.
