CoN 3: Resolution III

Background
Pressure placed onto Crimea surmounted to a point in which the Sultanate looked for conversion from Islam and to take the step forward to Orthodoxy. The Kingdoms of Livonia, Florence, Brandenburg, and Palatinate sought to further weaken the Sunni world by Forcing a already Religiously turbulent nation to turn from a Heathen to a Heretic.

Resolution III - Final

Vote Final Verdict: The council shall admit Crimea as a semi-permanent member state after conversion to the Orthodox faith.

Aftermath
The Swift vote paved way for Crimea to join the Council of Nations, and to damage the Reputation of Islam.

Other Orthodox nations like Muscovy didn't fully accept the change, and still saw them as a threat, especially after a great deal of territorial expansion by Crimea.
