The Republic of Babel was established by the overthrow of the Empire of Babel. The extremism of that orthodox government led to a radical anti-theist ideology spreading through underground presses, eventually overthrowing the theocracy and establishing a state based on anti-clericalism and human rights, in percieved opposition to Divine Right. More traditional states are now watching the experiment with anything from amusement to alarm, while the fledgling republic seeks to secure its position and spread freedom and democracy to faraway shores.
