Religious freedom per country
Sorted alphabetically:
- Aqua Anu Religion is protected by the constitution.
- Ariddia legally protects freedom of religious belief, conscience, expression and worship. Although a majority of the population is atheist, a wide variety of religions are present.
- Granade Turquesa Isla There is no written documents to protect the freedom of religion, with a strong Roman Catholic population, it's almost implied. However some defacto opression occures.
- Kanami Freedom of Religion is perhaps one of the most sacred held constitutional rights in the whole country. This is especially evident with The Mormon Refuge Act of 1849
- Kurona Promises the practice of free religion. Unfortunately due to the fact Kurona is 70% wilderness, religious abridgment has played, and the Government has in the past supressed minority religions.
- Maraque’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifically grants the populous the freedom to practice any religion they see fit. Even so, only 10% of the population officially subscribes to a religion of any kind. Additionally, it is illegal to publicly display religious symbols or texts, which include a cross in the form of jewelry, clothing in the form of a burqa or turban, and scripture such as the ten commandments.
- Plutoni protects freedom of the diverse religions in the colony.
- San Adriano’s laws recognise and protect religious freedom. A variety of religions are present. Due to the country’s small size, members of different religions share a single “multi-faith prayer building”, or make free use of religious facilities across the border in Uhuh-Topia.
- Snǿĵgẻrd’s laws protect freedom of religion, which has never been a contentious issue in this minuscule country.
- South Lorenya is a mostly atheist nation that allows nearly all religions but requires them to follow the same laws as businesses.
- Swilatia is mostly atheist, although many religions exist in Swilatia. While Swilatian law allows people to follow whatever religion they want, the government is avowedly atheist and anti-religion.
- Tika Vanu is a Catholic theocracy. The ni-Tika Vanu population must comply with theocratic legislation. For example, blasphemy is a legal offence, and various activities are prohibited on Sundays.
- The Phoenix Milita Allows almost any religion to be practiced, as long as taxes are paid. Religion is discouraged in society, but not in any legal capacity.
- Zwangzug’s laws protect religious freedom. It is predominantly atheist: the religious, Christians especially, have been subject to inaccurate stereotypes, but efforts made to reduce this have been generally successful.
