It is happy to talk with interested parties and to consider new issues to address and new projects to get involved in.
Back in 1999, some members of the Pagan Federation sought charitable status for an as yet unformed organisation named The Pagania Trust under the Charity Commission's general charitable heading of 'religion'.
However, many years of debate, backed up ever-growing support from both Pagans and non-Pagans alike, and a changing social climate in which human rights were prioritised, has meant that it seems that at last the Charity Commission now appears to accept that Paganism is a 'real' religion.

 History of Dalmatia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pagania was a minor duchy between Cetina and Neretva.
In 846, a new operation is launched that raided the Slavic land of Pagania, destroying one of her most important cities - Kaorle, although this did not end the Neretvian resistance, as they continued to mercilessly raid and steal from the Venetian occupators.
After King Trpimir's death, Pagania would eventually be incorporated directly into the Serbian Realm of Prince Časlav of Klonimir from the House of Vlastimir in 927-931.

 Pagania   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
'''Pagania''' is a term from ''De Administrando Imperio'', a book written by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos in the 10th century.
The Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja, a 12th century document, does not mention Pagania, nor does it say that the Serb tribes inhabited the region; instead, it talks of Croats inhabiting the region.
By the time the Croatian influence faded (because it became part of the Kingdom of Hungary), Pagania proved to be too far west to enter into confederations with the Serb princes of Raška (Rascia) and Doclea which would later form a unified Serbian realm.

But as soon as Stjepan Držislav died in 997, his three sons Svetoslav, Krešimir and Gojslav each contested the throne, weakening the state, which allowed the Venetians under Pietro Orseolo and the Bulgarian king Samuil to encroach on the Croatian possessions in the Adriatic.

The establishment of cordial relations between the Roman cities and the Croatian dukedom seriously began with the reign of duke Mislav (835), who signed an official peace treaty with Pietro, doge of Venice in 840 and who also started giving land donations to the churches from the cities.
The southern duchies of Pagania, Zahumlje, Travunia and Doclea were self-ruled by their Slavic population that was mixed pagan and Christian, and had both Croat and Serb population, and was thus often contested between Croatia to their northwest and Raška (the main Serbian state) to their northeast.
The Narentine pirates of Pagania (named after the river Narenta, today's Neretva), with safe harbors such as the island port of Curzola, defeated Venetian fleets dispatched against them in 840 and 887, and for more than a century exacted tribute from the Republic of Venice itself.
