Protestant Union

protestant_union

The Protestant Union is a defensive alliance of countries of the Reformation which want to protect themselves from the growing hostilities of the Catholic states of the Holy Roman Empire. Although founded by states of the Lutheran and Calvinist faiths, every member of the Empire who feels threatened by the overzealous counter-reformers may join this International Organization.
