The Alstin loophole was especially pervasive in the coastal cities of the Dericanian states of [[History of Burgundie#Duchy of Marialanus|Marialanus]], [[History of Burgundie#Duchy of Martilles|Martilles]], and [[History of Burgundie#Duchy of Bourgondie|Bourgondie]].The massive colonial empires that these coastal states had ammased through the practice of [[Phariseedoms]] and their subsequent collapse throughout the first third of the 19th century meant that these coastal states were awash with {{wpl|Protestants}}. | |||
