Hmmm...I guess it would depend on your definition of Patron Saint...Although Im not of the faith's persuasion myself, you are correct I was thinking in the Christian context when I posted this...

Presumably it doesnt have to be Christian though, :)

Martin Luther, while technically not a "saint" created Protestanism, which makes up 40% of the religion. 10% is Orthodox, 10% is Other than Christian, and 40% is Catholic.

Majankisi who according to the legend calmed a storm with his words when a group of fishermen were lost at sea. These fishermen still were not able to return back to their island but Majankisi asked the Gods to bring them to land and because his simu was so good, Juikansa, the God of the Ocean made the waters bring them to a different island: Rejistania.

Yes, it is an inikresaist saint.

The patron saint of the Miraclian Catholic Church is Saint Cornelius, the Church's first Pope.

The only permitted form of worship in Gynocracy is that of the Sacred Church of Her Magnificence Queen Linda.

All citizens are required by law to worship Her and Her alone.

However, in the light of public demand Her Magnificence has graciously agreed to also be known as Saint Linda and so She is the patron saint of Her glorious nation (over which She rules so wisely and justly).
