Background

One day the biblical Rapture occurs, causing millions of people to disappear from the face of the Earth, sending the world into mass hysteria. These events happen a week after the newly elected United Nations General Assembly starts session. On the same day of the Rapture, United Nations Secretary-General Mwangati Ngumo resigns and a charismatic 33-year-old Romanian politician Nicolae Carpathia is virtually immediately elected to the open position with worldwide approval supposedly against his will.

"Reluctantly" accepting the office, Carpathia calls for all nations to destroy 90% of their weapons and donate the remaining 10% to the United Nations. For unknown reasons, they do so. In less than a month Nicolae establishes a new, permanent, ten-membered Security Council and moves the U.N. headquarters to the newly built city of New Babylon over the ruins of Ancient Babylon. Carpathia finally changes the name of the United Nations to the Global Community, appointing himself Supreme Potentate and leader of the new global government.

Main events

As the Supreme Potentate of the Global Community, Nicolae Carpathia establishes its headquarters at the GC Palace in New Babylon, United Carpathian States. The first years Carpathia works to unify and merge all businesses, industries and media outlets through either financial means (he was the sole benefactor of murdered international financier and wealthiest man in history Jonathan Stonagal) or by mind control and putting them under GC authority. Nicolae establishes new organizations to keep control of the population, including Global Community Cable News Network (GCCNN), GC Peacekeepers, GC Morale Monitors, Global Community Aeronautics and Space Administration (GCASA), Global Community Power and Light (GCP&L), and Enigma Babylon One World Faith. New global currency called GC Dollars is established, nicknamed "Nicks" (after Carpathia himself). In less than a year, the Global Community is the new central government on Earth, with Carpathia at its head. Once established, New Babylon is the most beautiful, biggest, richest, and most advanced city in the world. New Babylon is a fictional city depicted in the popular Left Behind series. ...

Carpathia divides the world into ten regions: the United North American States, the United European States, the United Carpathian States (Middle East; before events in The Indwelling it was called the United Holy Land States), the United Asian States, the United South American States, the United Russian States, the United Indian States, the United Pacific States, the United African States, and the United Great Britain States. This partitioning eventually comes into play as ten sub-potentates are given control over each region, representing the ten kings prophesised in the Book of Revelation. Each region is assigned a code number, which is to be the marking used for the loyalty mark system established by Carpathia. (The code is based on a mathematical equation involving three sixes; example: United Carpathian States: 6 x 6 x 6 = 216). During the last day of the Global Gala, Nicolae Carpathia is assassinated but revives three days later at the Global Community Palace during his own funeral, attended by four million people from all around the world.

After his return to power at the end of The Indwelling, Carpathia, proclaiming himself to be God, establishes Carpathianism as the world's only legal religion, replacing the Enigma Babylon One World Faith. The newly-promoted Most High Reverend Father Leon Fortunato goes to the Vatican City to establish Carpathianism with himself as its leader. Statues (varying in creation substance, color, and size) of Carpathia are erected in every possible locale; citizens are expected to worship one of these statues three times a day, on penalty of death. Eventually, Carpathia orders that all GC citizens take a mark proclaiming their allegiance to him and the GC. The discipline method for refusing to take the mark is death by guillotine, nicknamed the "loyalty enforcement facilitator". As millions take the loyalty mark, Carpathia, growing tired of the resistance being put up by Christians, Orthodox Jews, and some Muslims, issues a kill-on-sight order for any non-Carpathianist.
