I am aware that the topic of Religion is rather controversial in OGF, but i was just wanting some thoughts on a potential Vatican-esque site most likely in Western Uletha, or a OGF Holy land, where rivalling cultures collide.

As far as I know, there is already a Vatican sonewhere in OGf (someone else can tell). I had raised the issue of where OGF Israel is and is probably one of the major mistakes I made in OGF.
But still, I think of OGF Israel as a posisble island somewhere.

I could probably create a “Jerusalem” for the religious community. My country has a rich religious history soooo…

@theruler: In short, don’t.

If, hypothetically, some kind of remotely realistic “Israel” would be created in OGF, it would have to be a community project, like purple area. For this, we would need (a) admin approval, (b) suitably many skilled mappers who are fairly familiar with Middle East history and who get along with each other, and (c) lack of massive opposition from the community. As much as I would like to see this happen (and help with it), I think it probably will never happen. It’s more fun to concentrate in what works in OGF in stead of banging head against a wall.

We had this discussion several times. Religions are a difficult task, in RW, but much more in a fictional world like OGF. In addition, there should be no 1:1 RW equivalent countries in OGF, no matter how often someone pretends to be something like that.

If you want to map a holy land, make up your own new religion.
