Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

The game takes place in 1780. Napoleon is eleven years old at the moment. He's not really known.

THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF NAPLES AND SICILY! (Seriously, the map had it all caps.)
Many maps do. It makes small fonts easier to read or something.

The game takes place in 1780. Napoleon is eleven years old at the moment. He's not really known.
He's famous in Corsica for winning the 6th-grade spelling bee.

By the way, how did you get that, Dan?

Get what? That Joseph Bonaparte was Napoleon's (real) brother? Just a coincidence. Seriously. :P

Candidates + rolls:
Notto "Xantalos" von Bismarck, Prussia (+1 for first 5) [5+1] = 6
Kyle "kj1225" Johnson, Russia (+1 for first 5) [3+1] = 4
Cromwell "mastahcheese" Jackson, Sweden (+1 for first 5) [5+1] = 6
Malus "TCM" Bakerton, Britain (+1 for first 5) [4+1] = 5
Sultan Selim "Errol" Maduk I, Ottoman Empire (+1 for first 5) [6+1] = 7
The Great Zarroff Wyrmgold, Republic of Genoa [4] = 4
Junot "Alexandria" Saville, France [4] = 4
Kaferian Celestine II, Papal States [1] = 1
Krzysztof "Nirur Torir" Kalinowski, Poland-Lithuania [6+1] = 7
Giuseppe "Dansmithers" Buonaparte, THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF NAPLES AND SICILY [4] = 4
Robert Ebbor, Malta [4] = 4

-----

The crowd roared as the head speaker of the convention announced the event.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, today we shall decide to whom we shall bestow the responsibility of saving all of mankind from a clear and present threat. Only discipline and a strong organization will be able to manage our resources effectively. We will have five generals, three of whom you, citizens of the world, will decide on. Vote carefully, the sovereignty of man on this Earth depends on your choices."

Two officials dressed in extensive uniforms with rows upon rows of badges hanging from their suits walked up onto the raised platform.
"Generals Maduk I and Kalinowski will be leading the new organization. It is thanks to the Sultan's generous donations and Kalinowski's strict determination in assembling today's convention that we are here today."
"We need to start planning..."
"Yes. Our horses will crush the invaders!"
"We've had this speech three times already."
"Tonight, the following gentlemen will give their speeches. At the end, the audience will decide."

Disqualified Immediately:
Kaferian Celestine II ended his speech with a reference to fighting for the Church. This didn't sit too well with the protestants and muslims at the convention and he was promptly removed.

Winners:
Notto von Bismarck moved the audience with his grand schemes of uniting the countries to fight for a greater good.
Cromwell Jackson perfectly embodied the spirit of determination, which is exactly what the audience was looking for.
Malus Bakerton impressed everyone with his accent and tales of his various adventures.

Now, it is time for the five current players to nominate/vote on a) the name of the organization and b) the location of the headquarters, in Europe.

God hangs out with a lot of other religions, not just Catholicism. Like Jews, Muslims, and (believe it or not) Protestants!

It could argued that they are heretics and that Catholicism is the one true faith and thus they do not deserve the company and blessings of God. In all seriousness, it was rather hilarious that I was the only one that got a number below 4. :P
