Description
Basileus, the Empire triumphs! With our traditional Anatolian heartlands finally recovered, we may now focus on repopulating the Empire with its native Greeks, and welcoming our ancient Armenian and Vlach brethren back into the fold. In order to strengthen our position for the future and protect Constantinople, our borders should be pushed further westward, and the old Black Sea colonies secured.Actions

Description
Faced with the onslaught of the Ottoman Turks, representatives of the Byzantine Empire and the Greek Orthodox Church have gone to the Council of Florence in order to negotiate the Union of the Churches in a forlorn hope that by doing so the Catholic nations will aid them against the Muslims. Your Highness, the Western Church demands only concessions, not compromise - the 'Union' is little more than a surrender for Orthodoxy. The representatives have little choice but to accept due to the situation, but the populace of Constantinople and the hierarchy of the Orthodox Church are outraged. Do we accept the Union?Actions
