I imagine Scientology would do very poorly in our FT nation, what with the ability to check galactic history for this Xenu character.

Do we really consider that a serious possibility?

The Scientologists are viewed with great interest by the Metallic Horde. We wish to find this "Xenu" and "Galactic Confederacy" they speak of, so we may test the might of Kor and the Metallic Horde against them.

Scientology has no followers here since any so called religion that was created as the result of a bar bet is little more than a way of separating the suckers er, followers from their cash, that "Xenu" and "Galactic Confederacy" is just 'window dressing' to give some sort of reason for it's existence.

Believing in the nonsense behind it is fine. We really don't care what you believe in.

Charging people money for their "cleansings" and targeting dissenters for assassination and legal harassment, however, isn't.

Then again, Scientology was wiped out with the Final War, so lol.

Scientology is not considered a religion in Beiluxia, though at the time being the government still recognises it as a non-profit organisation. After extensive investigation into the Church of Scientology's purported practices of money laundering and scamming new members, the Government officially placed The Church of Scientology under the "Non-profit Watch" list. The Church must provide evidence it does not use its beliefs as a cover-up to take exorbitant amounts of money from new members before reapplying as a religion in Beiluxia. The Church's repeated refusals to open up to the Beiluxian Government may also mean it can lose its non-profit status in the country. Because of Scientology's infamous scandal in Beiluxia, most Beiluxians view Scientology as a pseudoreligion or a cult.

I believe as with the Christians. We lined up the religious leaders in our nations then deported them....most of them...some are in how do you say it, 'Shallow Graves'. After that we began the task of rehabilitation. Helping those poor souls off their dependency in a higher power controlling their vary souls and judging them.

Scientology is illegal in Nortoapoco. Scientology was refused recognition and was identified as being in violation of the Scam Religion Act. The Cult can label our leaders "suppressive persons" all they want, but we aren't going to change our laws to permit them to operate in Nortoapoco. They are just so obviously fraudulent that they need to be banned for public safety. As the experience of other nations has shown, there are people stupid enough to actually join the Cult of Scientology.

Nortoapoco is a safe haven for victims of this scam and we will assist them in choosing a legitimate religion. The people behind Scientology will face prosecution for operating a scam religion should they ever set foot on Nortoapocan soil.

You have freedom to believe in what ever you want to believe in. In practice, there are many limitations on scientology in Penguinmark. The government has blocked the construction of venues specifically for scientology. We enjoy being "suppressive persons" a great deal.

The 1995 Anti-Exploitation Act requires religious institutions to be run by donations only in order to remain tax-exempt. Furthermore, a religious institution cannot ask for money off followers for "spiritual reasons". It can only ask for money off followers for the purposes of "financial maintainance of the institution" or "for donation to a registered charity" and must also disclose its expenses publically. This act was primarily passed to deal with problems caused by Christian televangelists, but was also passed to regulate scientology.

Scientology is legal but not considered as a religion during the lack of followers. It exist a organization named 'The Church of Scientology' in our Capital City New Hope but with only a few hundred member they don't take the cut of 0,001 % Population in Phoenixia considered as followers.

Firstly, one must note that I am a "grammar nazi". I will not hesitate to correct your grammar. Secondly, I am compelled to type very slowly because my keyboard is quite out of sorts. When I type at full tilt it tends to leave out random letters, and I sometimes miss these typos. I apologise for this.
