==Culture==
Culturally, the Papal State officially supports a more Ancient Greek one, and the Papal State is an proud practitioner of euergetism. Outside the realm of the state, Kallisto's influence remains strong, given Kallisto's status as a celebrity figure. As such, the effectively mainstream dress style prevalent in the Papal State is far more Victorian, and mini-skirts shorter than knee-length are frowned upon, and other unnecessary exposure is not common in Hekatonschoinos (and to a lesser degree, Sunset Valley). Even in terms of swimsuits, bikinis are an rare sight, while swimming shirts are common sights especially in Hekatonschoinos. Maxi skirts are quite popular in Heptanomis, although longer skirts at least below the knees are quite popular in Heptanomis and other part of the Papal State, such as Sunset Valley which has by now permeated with Papal culture.
On top of comparatively prude dress code, women of the Papal State are encouraged to take up a trade. Fields usually considered male, such as engineering, are especially encouraged. Due to this, the Papal State is known for female technicians, inventors, engineers, and less commonly, entrepreneurs. One notable example is Yuri Kang of the Kang Patriarch family of the 3rd timeline, who is part of the 3 Tech Nerds along with Eun Jin Choi and Kyriake Kostopoulou. Males are also expected to make an independent living if able, although unlike females males generally tend to be much more varied in their career choices: musicians and athletes in the Papal State are almost always male. Males are also expected to dress prudely, although males are given much more leeway when it comes to swimming pools. This policy is reviewed by the Ecclesiarchy, as the expected male volunteers are far below the expected figures. Given a skewed population especially in Hekatonschoinos/Heptanomis, the Ecclesiarchy has further diven into the realms of bioengineering, adding a splash of supernatural as needed. The best example of Ecclesiarchal openness to both realms would be the creation of [[Fanon:Phthinophoria Eschateria|Phthinophoria Eschateria]], who is a failed attempt at making a male from a stock, although a partial success in that she's the first non-clone to have innate skills. However, the Ecclesiarchy has strangely failed to make artificial males until the most recent times...
