The Greatest Innocence: "The Greatest Innocence" by João Paolo Salomao Lopez de Fuego. The book is large and heavy.
1->152
2
Inland Empire: A strange sensation of loss. When she left the Earth, the dust and the ice and the humans... That is unimportant to the quiz. Stop thinking about this.
87
The Greatest Innocence: Yes. The quiz is impersonal. No need to rouse *sensations* in yourself at the mention of Dolores Dei. Who was the *first* innocence -- it wasn't Dolores Dei...

Pain Threshold: Okay. It wasn't Dolores Dei. She's not false.
5->104
6
You: Sola?
7
The Greatest Innocence: Incorrect. Sola was anointed during the previous century and even lived to see the current one. She was an urban planner who spoke her mind and largely left history to its own devices, encouraging people to excel on their own rather than prescribing to a deified model of history. She is often called an *anti-innocence*.
6->7
177
The Greatest Innocence: Sola resigned after an assassination attempt by a Yugo nationalist, who blamed her for not taking the side of the left during the turn of the century revolutions. (Innocences don't usually resign). Care to try again?
7->177
8
The Greatest Innocence: Incorrect. Dolores Dei was the innocence of humanism, internationalism, and the welfare state. She codified parliamentary democracy and created modern institutions, among these the Moralintern. She was powerful. And beautiful, on all her icons...
166
The Greatest Innocence: Her colours are silver, white, and apricot. And when you think her name, Dolores, stomach acid rises to the back of your throat and it hurts -- you see a flash silver, a wreath, an airport bag. And blonde hair, you don't know why. Another choice, perhaps?
8->166
9
You: Dolores Dei.
203
The Greatest Innocence: Correct! The Mesque might see Franconegro as the father of nations, but as of this century there's been a great shift in attitude -- Dolores Dei has become widely regarded as the greatest innocence. A most radical change to the whole fabric of the world.
9->203
10
The Greatest Innocence: The most famous -- and important -- of these was Ernö Pasternak. He was into torture, despotism, hymns, cannons, and world conquest, but got defeated and humiliated by Stepan the Despicable of Kedra.
41
The Greatest Innocence: Final stretch, you've come so far and learned so much. This is the most important one. Question 4: Who was the *greatest* innocence? The most *important* of them all. The most precious to human kind...

Encyclopedia: Got it under control. No problem. Solid on this one. It's wide-spread historical information.
14->3
15
The Greatest Innocence: Correct! There have been a number of counter- or false-innocences -- some assumed to have innocentic qualities, some who just thought so themselves. Occasionally they have the support of a faction inside the ecclesiastic organization, and accusations of foul play have arisen...

Smarmy jerk. Bet you just got lucky that first time around anyway. Or you cheated off someone smarter.
Probably for the best. It wasn't looking too good for you, anyway.

The Greatest Innocence: Correct! Named the innocence of militarism, he codified hereditary rule -- but at the same time ended serfdom and established the interisolary reál as the global reserve currency. He also established the concept of the Nation.
70
The Greatest Innocence: Franconegro attempted to solve the rising tensions between the aristocracy and bourgeoisie by building a unified society, in which every man has a place and a mission, but at the same time may rise to nobility provided on the strength of his virtue.

30->180
31
The Greatest Innocence: Correct! Nothing much is known about him. It's not even clear that he was a *he*, but Franconegro presumed as such and called him Pius. He's depicted as a young man with molten gold pouring out of his mouth -- all he spoke was gold. It's said he *invented* god; and equality of men before god. He also introduced the gold standard as a way for measuring people's love for aurum.
92
The Greatest Innocence: As the first innocence, he declared that there should be more of those like him. It is presumed his disciples were the beginning of the Holy Party (the Founding Party).
