Tower Cult

The Cult of the Eternal Tower, or simply the Tower Cult, is a nation in South America, specifically located in much of Venezuela.

History:
The Tower Cult was established as a result of the dissolution of Maracaibo. King BigVinny and Prime Minister blz wanted to isolate and focus on themselves, and were tired of dealing with internal issues, so they released Santa Catarina, believing that the Catarinese people were ready to go out on their own without a distant power controlling them. From there, blz and Vinny decided to have a bit of fun with their new nation, making it a religious cult that revolved around worshipping Eternal Tower, which was a structure that saved them from Roman destruction in the past. They would decide the name of the new nation would be the Tower Cult, or officially the Cult of the Eternal Tower.

Politics
As expected from the name, the Cult of the Eternal Tower is a religious cult. It is officially theocratic, with blz being the head of state and holding the title of Prophet of the Tower. As the theocratic nature implies, the Tower Cult considers the true leader of their nation to be the Eternal Tower itself, and blz is a messenger of the Tower.

Beliefs
After its use in deterring a Roman invasion, the Eternal Tower was seen by the Maracaibans as a powerful object, and much attention was diverted into developing it more and more. This appreciation for such an impressive build inspired the creation of an actual religious following of the Tower, and subsequently the reform of the nation. The Tower Cultists see the Eternal Tower as an omnipotent god that the people must serve and care for in exchange for its protection against external foes.
