Paper Kingdom rules on religion: Religion isn't out-right banned in the kingdom despite having won a brutal war against a religious state, though there are restrictions on it. People of belief are allowed to pray in silence, attend ceremonies/mass at provided churches in the kingdom, talk about religion with a brother or sister (as long as it's not disturbing anyone). Any form of preaching, going door-to-door spreading your belief, or carolling (if it's specifically about your belief) is considered a 'disregard to the public' and is severely punishable by law.

Katie-States

Katie: The figure-head/"God" of the Katie-States and the religion following it. Katie is dead, but now immortalised by the State in the form of "Katism", the religion of repentance and salvation of those who follow it, and also the religion that claims the entire world as it's and demands it under the name of Katie. She's often depicted with ash-blonde knee-length hair in a ponytail, a black headband, black robes with a Diamond symbol that has a line between it on the robes, and blue leg-wear. She was a prophet that preached forgiveness and the "word of God", but she was captured by the then-Katie-States "Treeman Empire" and crucified for her crimes. Over the course of many decades, her word spread like wild fire and it eventually became global, and with it the "Katie-States" was born.

General Xister "Lionheart" the I: The Former Leader and Military Head of the Katie-States, she was a devout member of the religion, a fierce warrior and strategist on the field, and a noble leader of the Katie-States, though her fate after the failure of the 7th 8th and 9th Crusades at the hands of the Paper Kingdom remains unsolved and an on-going case for the Paper Kingdom who await her capture and punishment for her crimes against the innocent people of the Paper Kingdom. She has Ash-Blonde long hair that has blue and pink stains in it and often wears a linen coif with Katie's diamond symbol on her head, alongside a black surcoat displaying Katie's symbol, a mail hauberk & chausses, and soft undergarments. She's most famous for leading the Nine Crusades and gaining significant victories during the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Crusades, though suffered loses in the 3rd and 7th Crusade, saw rapid decline in the 8th Crusade, and was ultimately defeated in the 9th Crusade. She has been deemed a war criminal by the Paper Kingdom and efforts for her capture have been put out by her Majesty (Miss Grace), though no traces have been found since she fled on boat away from the collapse of the final stronghold. She was also known to be a heavy drinker and sometimes took Opium when stressed.

Commander Daniel the IV: Formerly known as the "King of Drewsalem", he was the assistant commander alongside General Xister during the early-late Crusades, who was known to be calm and collected even during decline, and was famous for his level-headed approaches to battle. When Drewsalem was captured by armed forces led by both him and General Xister in the First Crusade, he was assigned ruler and defender of the city by General Xister, in which he control key supply lines and economic value for the Crusader territory and advance. Though he did defend the city and helped in offensive campaigns during 2nd to 7th Crusades, when the Paper Kingdom indirectly threatened the massacre of innocents within the city during the 8th Crusade, Daniel peacefully surrendered both himself and the city to the Paper Kingdom to save everyone in the city, ultimately leading to his defeat and the critical success of re-capturing Drewsalem from the Crusaders. He was later released from custody and sent back to the Katie-States afterwards, where he now holds the position as a political adviser within the Katie-States. He's known for wearing a white flower crown and having shoulder-length messy brown hair, with the same armour as Xister. Nowadays he wears a simple black and yellow gown and still remains level-headed in the conference room.

Commander Anova "Crimson-Petal" the II: Formerly the second assistant of General Xister, Commander Anova was known for her rather peaceful ways of battle and cutting off supply-lines for the Paper Kingdom during the Mid-Crusades. Though she joined quite late, only making a name for herself in the 4th and 5th Crusade, she quickly began to become a problem for the Paper Kingdom as she targeted specifically insignificant agricultural towns which, though at first was nothing but a general inconvenience, quickly became a problem when the Paper Kingdom had no pit-stop towns to get additional resources from due to all of them being under "Crimson-Petal" control, which saw the Paper Kingdom retreating armies starving to death with no additional rations to pick up from said towns. She never ordered her men to kill anyone, she only ordered them to burn the crops and imprison anyone who stands up to them, as she didn't want any unnecessary blood on her hands. Though her army was small, it was impossible to track down as they would ran-sack and leave within mere hours after burning the town down and taking thousands of prisoners with them, though that came to an end in the 7th Crusade when she was trapped within a town during a raid in which she peacefully surrendered to the Paper Kingdom. She was later released from custody and sent back to the Paper States, where she is now the new Leader of the Katie-States, replacing General Xister after she vanished and replacing her authoritarian rule with a more peaceful and diplomatic one. Nowadays she often visits the Paper Kingdom to have talks to her Majesty, who forgives her for not killing anyone in the towns during the Crusades. Commander Anova has Dark purplish-blue waist-length hair with a white flower in it and her skin is completely unnaturally black. She wears a brown royal gown and has necklaces and rings of jewelry all over her. During the Crusades, she dawned the same armour as Xister and Daniel.

Set in a relatively large medieval (Mid-15th century, referred to as the "Year of the 915th Eclipse") kingdom with markets, peasants working, grains and animals being transported around, small groups attending religious practices, and a big castle where the royals, maids, butlers, princes and princesses reside. Almost everyone has paper-white skin (Except for Alice, Miss Emily, and Cubbie). The castle looms over the kingdom, a constant reminder of whose in charge of practically everything in this kingdom. The castle has an orchard, armory, barracks, kitchen, dining hall, dorms, and a throne room + personal quarters for the Queen and her Prince and princesses. Recent History: After the defeat and retreat of the Crusaders sent from the Katie-States, as well as the disappearance of General Xister the I, the kingdom is finally experiencing an era of economic prosperity and peace after the continuous wars set by the Katie-States for 11 years, finally ending with the fall of the last stronghold in the area. Now humiliated, the Katie-States never try again due to sheer humiliation of their defeat and the failure to bring Katism influence into the kingdom. The Katie-States are a rival over-seas kingdom of theology and militaristic might, with a firm belief in Katie's teachings. After Xister disappeared, Anova took over and helped turn the kingdom into a more peaceful and diplomatic place, though the militaristic might still remained. The Paper kingdom is an Atheist state that only follows rules and laws that her majesty sets in place, not from a book or scripture.
