St. Albertus Magnus, who is also the patron saint of medical technicians; natural sciences; philosophers; scientists; students; World Youth Day... and, to my total surprise, Cincinatti, Ohio.

The United States of Kinstantia does not have a patron saint because of seperation of Church and State. However, the Catholic Church in Kinstantia has declare St Thomas More as the patron Saint of Kinstantia.
It's as if someone thought, "What if we took Baywatch, mixed it with Star Trek, and then blended in a frat party?" That's Kinstantia, in a nutshell.
This nation may or may not reflect my real life views. Furthermore, there's a lot of comic relief intended here, so if it seems a bit silly, you know why.

Our Catholic population regards Saint Louis IX, Roi de France, as their patron.
Our Orthodox population regards Saint Vladimir Svyatoslavich, Grand Prince of Kiev, as their patron.
Our Armenian Apostolic population regards Saint Tiridates III, King of Armenia, as their patron.
Our Anglican population regards Saint Edward the Confessor as their patron.
Our Muslims and Baha'is tend to most closely relate to Yahya (John the Baptist).
Our Buddhists (the vast majority - about 95% - of whom are Tibetan) tend to revere the Dalai Lama unless they're not of a Tibetan school.

Postby Walmington on Sea » Mon Aug 17, 2009 2:52 pm

The Reformed Godfreyite Empire of Walmington on Sea recognises three Patron Saints.

Owing to the (re)discovery in 1481 of what are now the Walmingtonian Home Counties by an expedition gathered in Bristol under the patronage of one Godfrey Walming, later to become King Godfrey I of Walmington on Sea and founder of the Godfreyite Church of Walmington, it may be no surprise to learn that WoS is the only nation (known) to venerate Saint Godfrey of Walmington, who is Patron Saint of said Home Counties (Great Walmington, Queen Mavis Island, Southend, and Eastgate), which by some interpretations constitute the Walmingtonian nation state.

In likely relation to this still proudly-espoused English heritage, Saint George is Patron Saint of the Walmingtonian Empire.

Finally, Saint Aldhelm is Patron Saint in the Home Counties plus the Territory of Norbray and the Royal Borough of the Newry Islands, which by other interpretations are necessary additions to the Home Counties for the constitution of Walmington on Sea proper. The City of Walmington's Godfreyite Cathedral and oldest place of Christian worship in Walmington (and perhaps by extension the Americas) is St.Aldhelm's.
The world continues to offer glittering prizes to those who have stout hearts and sharp swords.

Despite the country being officially atheistic, the churches that are condoned have it similar - Orthodox and RC - Constantine and Method, the bringers of script and christianity to Great Moravia
Hussite protestant church - Jan Hus, the social and religious revolutionary

Celebrations of these are surprisingly endorsed by state since they reinforce a national identity, and since both were pretty important people secular wise, even the most hardy communists hold them in honour

The officially designated patron saint of the Eldalantean Federation, as designated by the Roman Church for its followers, is Saint Damien of Molokai, martry of charity and additionally patron saint of outcasts.

Amongst the Eldalie Varda Eléntari is celebrated particularly, and many minority Christians assosciate her with the Blessed Virgin.

It is possible other religious orders have designated patrons for the Federation, but they have not communicated this designation to the Bureau of Generally Useless Information.

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

While we are Ignostic... We do allow for the praying to highly popular saints...

Our higher ups favorites are St. Benedict (protects against posioning), St. Thomas More (Saint of politicians), and St. Homobonus (Patron Saint of businessmen).
This Debate is simply an exercise in Rhetoric. Truth is a fickle being with no intentions of showing itself today.
