Adon Olam is a growing nation in the Western Atlantic. It was founded on May 1, 1829 by Eli Ben Moishe, who was a Messianic Jew seeking a new Zionist utopia. The King of Adon Olam or the Melech is a decendant of Eli Ben Moishe.

Culture

The culture of Adon Olam is a blend of Western European styles, due to the diverse population. But the nation is steeped in Christian and Jewish traditions.

In rural areas, Olamites generally live by substanance farming and fishing only harvesting enough for the needs of the family, and the community. In more urban areas, it is capitalism as usual. Most businesses are sole proprietorships, as current laws discourage corporations due to the fact that corporations put the small business out of work.

Religion

With the founding of Adon Olam, it was decided that the national religion would be Messianic Judaism, due to the fact that every pilgrim who came with Eli Ben Moishe to Adon Olam, believed that Yeshua, known as Christ to the gentiles, was the Messiah or Meshiach. Despite the fact that it has been over 100 years since the founding of Adon Olam, every citizen in the nation is still a practicing believer.

Displays of pagan religions (anything other than Christianity or Judaism) is strictly prohibited, except in the embassies of foreign nations.
