An anti-potatoeist could go next to create a base setting for their own nation and possibly have a reaction to the news of the late Pope's death.

I should have time to put up a post. My nation is strongly non-papist, though (purple ftw!).

Perhaps we should update the OP with the red/blue/purple teams so we all get sort of an idea of who's who?

I'll do so when I'm done with my shift.

It would have been really cool if the most advanced nation was also a religious nut job, though.

I'm dead last for my religiousness score though...

That can be handwaved away by seeing the Potato faith more as an interesting metaphor, with a lot of great things to offer to world politics or something. Like giving everyone common ground, and creating the possibility to spread knowledge with the support of the most powerful organization in the word.

An organization that tells people perceived facts instead of actual truth. Yeah, I'd pass.

Is that any worse than keeping the Norse or Greek gods, Aragonn? I'm keeping the Norse ones for the same reasons. In any case, it doesn't have to appeal to you. I was simply suggesting a way in which those who wish to join team red, but aren't religious, might be able to do so.

My stats are intentional, and include:
First place: secularism, scientific advancement, intelligence, inclusiveness, integrity, political freedom
Last place: corruption, ignorance, primitiveness, religiousness, political apathy

Basically I don't really want to be on red, and my decisions in creating my nation reflect that. In any case, my imagined backstory for Potatoeist Science includes a strong Protestant (which I've developed as part of the reasoning for why we spell potatoe differently) and secular heritage. But at this point, my nation could go toward either side.

With the exception of corruption and SA,  my stats are fairly similar. And it's not for lack of trying with SA.

Yes, and you firmly declared yourself for team blue. Simply put, it makes no sense for a nation like mine to be going DEUS VULT all over Peru.

I see. I'm definitely going to have some religious ideas though.

My nation certainly has ideas on religion: they're nice, but keep them out of politics.

Alright, I've made a list of teams. We may have some trouble. Only four of all the nations have chosen a side. This will be a small war.

Anyway, not everyone explicitly chose a side, so I have placed almost everyone on team purple.
