Religious freedom per country
Sorted alphabetically:
- 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.
- 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.
- Plutoni protects freedom of the diverse regions 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.
- 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, can be subject to inaccurate stereotypes, but efforts are being made to reduce this.
