St. Juraj has been patron saint of Sudreich as well as a central founding father, and despite the current wave of apathy towards religion he remains reverred by the population as a leader, if not for anything else.

An atheist nation , even though there is freedom of religion, has no patron saint.

In Dutch: voor Tonaga, op zondag niets dan word de kathedraal gewoon als kerk gebruikt, anders als toerist op andere dagen 50 cent.

In English: for Tonaga: No fee on sunday's then the cathedral serves as church, otherwise for tourists who would like to visit the Cathedral 50 Cents.

I would like to add that Saint Peter Chanel as patron saint of Oceania would be the patron saint of Rejistania as well (due to the fact that the 'tani is an oceanic nation). Also, catholic missionaries brought the idea of saint worship into Rejistania, especially Saint Andrews. It is not clear whether the story of Janederukansa is related to him.

The Principality of Saxemberg's small Roman Catholic community has adopted St. Lucifer as the country's patron saint.

St. Lucifer's pro-cathedral, in Leopoldville's Christian quarter, is a popular tourist destination.

Postby Augarundus » Sun Aug 09, 2009 6:36 pm

Though since the rise of both fascist and communist regimes Christianity has been outlawed, the restoration of Catholicism as the state religion in late-era fascism and the original empire considered the following to be patron saints of Augarundus, and their specific cities.

St. Andrew - Patron Saint of Augarundus, Augaria.
Pope-St. Alexander - Secondary Saint of Augarundus, Mutralv.
St. Boniface - Arpentrau.

Saint Andrew, being the patron saint of the nation and its capital, is arguably the most celebrated. His Cathedral, unlike St. Alexander's small yet magnificently decorated Cathedral in Mutralv, is enormous beyond comprehension. However, it is austere, and without gold and fine items the cold stone is unwelcoming, especially during the era of abandonment under communism. The dome-roof above the alter was damaged severely in a bombing run, and has partially collapsed, allowing countless ravens to make the church their home. The crucifix was likewise shattered, with the bottom portion having dangled awkwardly for years until an earthquake sent it crashing to the ground entirely, along with two steeples and a large cross atop the church, which, when collapsing, due to its sheer weight and size, completely shattered a major roadway in 2005.

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

While Magechill-Izeckistan was founded, YALORTism was very popular, which led to our saint being Kneuroknak, Patron Saint of pickle barrel merchants.There have been many tries to remove it all together, but none were successful.

Saint Michael. Not officially of course, the government is secular.


EDIT:
To all the people coming in going "MY COUNTRY IS ATHEIST":

The thread is asking WHO THE PATRON SAINT OF YOUR COUNTRY IS. Don't come here unless you intend to answer the question, because you're doing nothing but wasting the time of those who come here to find out more about nations; people want to read this thread because they want to know who the Patron Saint of other nations are, not that your country is atheist.

Being an Atheist nation, we have no patron saint. In fact, churches in Bavin are taxed on the same lines as insurance companies, and megachurches are subject to anti-trust legislation.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.- Carl Sagan
