Line 71:
The new state of Diuettis was supported by the WFAI. Imperator, now a dual citizen of both countries, ensured smooth relations between Astoria and Diuettis, as the official Ambassador. By this point however, Astoria was much weakened, the Crown Princes Logan_the_Hermit, MattDB has all gone to form their own nations (Pathos and Diuettis) whilst Astoria was suffering from domestic terrorism, rise of the populist Nox, and inactivity.
During this period the Antiochan Centre of the Faith was attacked and sacked<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/au8ewp/the_pope_calls_for_crusade_the_cathedral_of_st/</ref>, and in solidarity both Catholic and Orthodox worked to fix it.
Sharks began to circle and the Empire of Kano fabricated claims on Astoria, once the senate frustratedly voted to be annexed by Kano. The vote was overturned by the monarch when populist Senator Nox, tabled a motion of no-confidence in the monarch. This was vetoed yet again, but now the Senate was paralysed by political disagreement. Meanwhile the Kanoan Empire had not enforced claims, and Diuettis grew stronger from former Astorians. In turn the Astorian state now voted to join the Empire of Diuettis.
The Empire of Diuettis enjoyed a brief, but unsustainable renaissance, its territory spanning from sunrise to sunset. A Cathedral was built early on the site of the planned new Capital<ref>https://out.reddit.com/t3_b2mgi1?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2Fa%2FL9q8tcg&token=AQAAZdY2XQ7a4L0l2luOBDmLdJwS7cscLYYR2EDuhkm16V6G6J84&app_name=mweb2x</ref>. The later Patriarchs Clocktower_Echoes and Tukidoki would herald from this location as Bishops.
In a brief but bloody conflict, the allied Britannian King Crusher6581 was temporarily pearled and the Cathedral desecrated (quickly repaired). ImperatorMendes, now Exterior Consul of Diuettis hosted a summit at Norlund<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/b84urm/historical_photos_of_the_norlund_summit/</ref>, to settle the true state of claims. Kano did not attend and due to low activity the partitions suggested never took place and Astoria remained de facto Diuettan. This event would later lead to the formation of the United Factions alliance<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/ba6rss/announcing_the_united_factions/</ref>, encompassing mostly Orthodox nations. The Patriarchate stood on the security council as head of the Orthodox militiamen.
