A few weeks after the establishment of the Theocracy, the government of the Holy Land decided to undertake a search for a neighboring nation to temporarily enter into a mutually beneficial unity. On the basis of successful diplomacy, the Theocracy chose in favor of joining the nation of Kushan. Although the initial cooperation proved to be fruitful and the Archdiocese of Jerusalem was able to christianize Kushan to the extent that it adopted Christianity as its official religion, the change of government in Kushan had a number of negative aspects. Through inappropriate and unethical behavior in the political context of the Middle East, Kushan made itself locally quite unpopular. This soon became an obstacle for the Archdiocese of Jerusalem regarding the evangelization of other neighboring nations. Third parties began to associate the Archdiocese of Jerusalem with Kushan and its actions, resulting in nations such as Egypt and Armenia rejecting evangelization attempts. In addition, it was revealed that Kushan's government had taken pleasure by publicly insulting His Holiness. These and other circumstances led the Holy See to make use of its authority in the following way: On the 3rd of July 2023, Pope Clement XV announced a decree regarding the independence of the Theocracy of Israel. | A few weeks after the establishment of the Theocracy, the government of the Holy Land decided to undertake a search for a neighboring nation to temporarily enter into a mutually beneficial unity.
