| Message | OOC: I don't know Ikradon's religious make-up, can anyone elaborate? I guess I could just pick the majority religion and advocate it as the HOM's religion. |

| Message | OOC: It's been established that Christianity exists in-game, with at least the Absolutist and Universalist sects of it. The Absolutist sect at one point organized as a political party and was rather strong. Universalist Christianity was not developed aside from being the religion of MUP/PET party chair Noelle Hart. I think a few other religions have been established as existing, such as Scientology (banned in the Luthori Empire to the south of us -- maybe there's a sizable refugee commuinty here?) and Aeternalism (a religion that my first successful Chancellor candidate belonged to). I've generally supposed that there are many religions in Ikradon and no absolute majority, but it's never been definitively established. If people want to RP that a certain religion has a large following and has become the majority, I wouldn't mind going along. Though the two I made up (Universalist Christianity and Aeternalism) were intended to be "small" religions, so I would ask that you not use those. |

| Message | Oh, almost forgot -- our second Chancellor was a Catholic, so Catholicism is established as existing in Ikradon also. |

| Message | When these three articles would come to vote, we'll say no. If you only propose the first article, we will support, as long as it is proposed in a respectful manner. |

| Message | OOC: Then we shall RP a Catholic aristocratic family then. I will also separate article 1. |
