The Akragas Federation
Relationship: Akragas is largely administered as something closer to a protectorate than a colony. It has a legislature (representing the 42 nomes along the river plus various Themes (regions) in the non-river region) that meets in Tyras and largely governs its own domestic policy with a ceremonial Exarch (Governor). However, most foreign and military matters tend to be left in the hands of the Ithran Government (provided they pay for it).
History: Technically founded as a collection of city-states along the Akragas (Amazon River) starting with Taras on Hypsas (Marajó) bordered by the Akragas and Hypsas (Para Rivers) some centuries ago. Many Ithrans sailed into the Akragas in search of riches (and tended to find disappointment). However, many more found it as a place to start a new and quickly set about creating small settlements along the shore. The loose collection of colonies became a place of safe haven for many Ithrans when they were out of favor with Hegemons and Autokratoras. It wasn't until the late 1600s that the Atreids Dynasty realized the potential of this land and began to aggressively colonize (through prisoners) it under the belief that it held many resources. Many of these prisoners fled to lands beyond the nomes where they formed their own settlements that became Ithran lands after several sweeping pardons by latter Autokrators. It remained nominally under tight Ithran oversight for many years, but in practice was largely left to its own devices in favor of richer colonies. The Ithran Republic formally granted the Nomes and Themes a charter of incorporation, allowing them a great deal of self-governance.

The Colony of Notia
Relationship: The Ithran landowners run the island as a personal kingdom and viciously put down almost all attempts to industrialize so that their native servants have nowhere to go, but the fields. However, this makes them overly dependent on Ithra for manufactured goods. In turn, most of Ithra despises the system on Notia, but relies on the money that the colony makes for the homeland.
History: Discovered, lost, forgotten and rediscovered dozens of times across Ithran history, Notia is named for the southern wind, in honor of being the furthest south most Ithrans ever settled for much of Ithran history. Its harsh climate and combative natives made it difficult to fully settle, causing several early attempts to fail and colonies wiped out. It would not be until Atreids Dynasty that the Ithrans finally won out. Arriving with a large army, the Ithrans wiped out the native kingdoms and enslaved the natives (or contracted servants as slavery was illegal in Ithra). Notia is largely run as agricultural colony, relying on cash crops and contracted servants.

The Protectorate of Macrobia
Relationship: A complex one with several native kingdoms run by local rulers and populated almost entirely by natives who owe loyalty to Ithra through the Therian Autokrators who supply resources to Ithra in exchange for weaponry and goods. A relationship built on Ithra requiring resources, Theria knowing it couldn't manage Macrobia or survive imperialism without Ithran aid, and the interior realms knowing they do not have the resources or infrastructure to survive without the other two.
History: The most recent contact between Theria (coastal Macrobia, so named because their worship of a war goddess similar to There) and Ithra was established toward the end of the Eurypontid Dynasty (1400s). Theria and Ithra established relations that continued through to the Atreids Dynasty (largely through independent Ithran merchants claiming to represent Ithra). Under the Atreids, Ithra spent a great deal of time arming the Therians for conquest in exchange for resources. With Ithran arms and training, Theria was able to conquer much of the coastal lands. However, the interior remained unexplored until an expedition organized by the Ithran Republic was able to breach the mighty Macrobian River and proceed inland. The Republican government arranged agreements with a number of local chiefs and peoples, weaponry for resources. Eventually creating a number of mini-kingdoms across the Macrobian Basin that owe loyalty to Ithra. The Kings of Theria, for their long service, were granted the title of Autokratoras/Emperor over the region whom all lesser kings owe homage.

this doc is the history document and is open to be edited by anyone. Please do not troll and delete things we can always restore previous versions.
A couple rules:
Do not add new sections (i.e. Copper age is the next time period after Neolithic, eventually it will go to every millennia). Only mods can add new sections.
When adding an ancient Civ highlight or use a different color font to distinguish it
when adding your personal history highlight or use a different color font to distinguish it.
Pre-Neolithic information is focused on movement of humanity.
Mods can remove an event at will.

[Amaurita]

Pending Approval for the following;

Amauritan Recusantry, or Protestant Recusantry, is an offshoot of the Recusant Faith. Protestant Recusantry in Amaurita is not dictated by a single religious entity, but instead is comprised of fragmented bodies dictating scripture. According to the 1930 Census, the largest branches of Protestant Recusantry are Episcopalian Recusantry (16.8%), Baptist Recusantry (15.4%), and Methodist Recusantry (14.2%). Unlike it’s eastern counterparts, Protestant Recusantry in the United States has slight influences from Judaism, such as the incorporation of several sections of the Torah into Protestant Holy Scriptures, such as the Book of Genesis, the Talmud, and several other books. Other traditions that were absorbed from Judaism by Protestant Recusants vary, depending on the region and church.

Amauritan Protestantism has its roots in the colonial era in the United States, when the Ergonian settlers colonized what would become the United States. During and after the Great Awakening that occured in the 1770’s, the stress on personal piuty grew as mainline Amauritan Recusants, such as the Methodist and Baptist Churches broke away from the Catholic Church in Conston. Further separation occurred in the 1800’s, when the Catholic Church and the Protestant Recusants in the United States drifted further apart during the political turmoil of the Amauritan Revolutionary War. Henceforth, the Amauritan Recusants became known as the Protestant Recusants, due to the protests against the Catholic Church in the years leading up to the Amauritan Revolution since the Great Awakening.

Protestant Recusantry is the dominant faith in the United States, with 27 million adherents as of the 1930 census, representing roughly 80% of the Amauritan population.

here's the entire factbook with more specific details and plans for history.

Here is the section of the church of the east waiting to be approved

History: Missionaries from Recusant churches immigrated along with the trade routes of eastern Shinguo and eventually set up their first temples and churches in the local area in the year A.D 1200. This was only the first wave in which made its presence in this country. The main wave of conversion really occurred in the second wave when Ergonian missionaries met with the Buddhist and other religious adherents and incorporated main elements of their practices in the 1400's. This religion teaches the essential worth of all religions in this region, and the unity and equality of all people and their prophets sent from God in Shinguo. There are a couple of prophets in which are honored such as Lao Tzu, Tengri, Maidalis, Zorothustra and the Buddha.

Recusantry is very unique particularly in the far east due to the fact that it incorporated Eastern culture in its teachings. Buddhism, Taoism, and practices from the Manichean and Zoroastrian faiths are incorporated as part of the fundamental texts in which followers should live their life. It is the rule of conduct for adherents. The five noble truths and the eightfold paths are fundamental in the adherents path to heaven or nirvana. Taoism is also treated as a fundamental part of this religion in terms of how adherents value martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui, and qigong. Zoroastrianism is also prevalent in terms of the worship of fire in the local temples and it has also inspired the worship of the fire in this country in the church in addition to its practice of sky burial. This faith grown in popularity after the daughter of the missionary/prophet Zarathustra married into the line of kings in this country and convinced him to convert. This religion is also one of the 4 state-recognized religions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of these other religions below complements each other and helps create the narrative of the recusant in the orient (Church of the East)

Han folklore religion: A local folklore religious practice that existed in 2050 BC when the lord Gun Yu united the seven chiefdoms. (Chinese popular religion) or Han folk religion[1] is the religious tradition of the Han, including veneration of forces of nature and ancestors, exorcism of harmful forces, and a belief in the rational order of nature which can be influenced by human beings and their rulers as well as spirits and gods.[2] Worship is devoted to a multiplicity of gods and immortals (神 shén), who can be deities of phenomena, of human behaviour, or progenitors of lineages. Stories regarding some of these gods are collected into the body of Chinese mythology. By the 11th century (Song period), these practices had been blended with Buddhist ideas of karma (one's own doing) and rebirth, and Taoist teachings about hierarchies of gods, to form the popular religious system which has lasted in many ways until the present day.[3]

Chinese religions have a variety of sources, local forms, founder backgrounds, and ritual and philosophical traditions. Despite this diversity, there is a common core that can be summarised as four theological, cosmological, and moral concepts:[4] Tian (天), Heaven, the transcendent source of moral meaning; qi (氣), the breath or energy that animates the universe; jingzu (敬祖), the veneration of ancestors; and bao ying (報應), moral reciprocity; together with two traditional concepts of fate and meaning:[5] ming yun (命運), the personal destiny or burgeoning; and yuan fen (緣分), "fateful coincidence",[6] good and bad chances and potential relationships.[6]

Yin and yang (陰陽) is the polarity that describes the order of the universe,[7] held in balance by the interaction of principles of growth (when) and principles of waning (gui),[8] with yang ("act") usually preferred over yin ("receptiveness") in common religion.[9] Ling (靈), "numen" or "sacred", is the "medium" of the two states and the inchoate order of creation.[9]

Both the present day government of Shinguo and the imperial dynasties of the Qin and Zhou tolerated village popular religious cults if they bolstered social stability but suppressed or persecuted those that they feared would undermine it.[10] After the fall of the empire in 1911, governments and elites opposed or attempted to eradicate folk religion in order to promote "modern" values, and many condemned "feudal superstition". These conceptions of folk religion began to change in Taiwan in the late 20th century and in mainland Shinguo in the 21st. Many scholars now view folk religion in a positive light.[11] In recent times Chinese folk religions are experiencing a revival in both mainland Shinguo. Some forms have received official understanding or recognition as the preservation of traditional Chinese cultures, such as Mazuism and the Sanyi teaching in Fujian,[12] Huangdi worship,[13] and other forms of local worship, for example, the Longwang, Pangu or Caishen worship. Taoism also have several zoroastrian elements such putting up the eternal fire and sky burial.


Tengrism: Tengrism, also known as Tengriism, Tenggerism, or Tengrianism, is a Central Asian religion characterized by shamanism, animism, totemism, poly-, and monotheism,[1][2][3] and ancestor worship. It was the prevailing religion of the Turks, Mongols, Hungarians, Bulgars, Xiongnu, and, possibly, the Huns,[4] and the religion of the several medieval states: Göktürk Khaganate, Western Turkic Khaganate, Old Great Bulgaria, Danube Bulgaria, Volga Bulgaria and Eastern Tourkia (Khazaria). In Irk Bitig, Tengri is mentioned as Türük Tängrisi (God of Turks).[5]

Khukh tengri means "blue sky" in Mongolian, Mongolians still pray to Munkh Khukh Tengri ("Eternal Blue Sky") and Mongolia is sometimes poetically called the "Land of Eternal Blue Sky" (Munkh Khukh Tengriin Oron) by its inhabitants. In modern Turkey, Tengrism is known as the Göktanrı dini ("Sky God religion");[7] the Turkish "Gök" (sky) and "Tanrı" (God) correspond to the Mongolian khukh (blue) and Tengri (sky), respectively. According to Hungarian archaeological research, the religion of the Hungarians until the end of the 10th century (before Christianity) was Tengrism.[8]

Tengrists view their existence as sustained by the eternal blue sky (Tengri), the fertile mother-earth spirit (Eje) and a ruler regarded as the holy spirit of the sky. Heaven, earth, spirits of nature and ancestors provide for every need and protect all humans. By living an upright, respectful life, a human will keep his world in balance and perfect his personal Wind Horse, or spirit. The Huns of the northern Caucasus reportedly believed in two gods: Tangri Han (or Tengri Khan), considered identical to the Persian Aspandiat and for whom horses were sacrificed, and Kuar (whose victims are struck by lightning).[11] Tengrism is practiced in Sakha, Buryatia, Tuva, and Mongolia in parallel with Tibetan Buddhism and Burkhanism.[12] This religious practice also incorporates local Thai and Javanese shamanism into it's practice.

This religion was received and adopted nominally in the core of the empire in the 1200 AD due to invasions from the Turkic north by Ghenghis khagan who eventually married into the prevailing line of emperors. This religion is widely practiced in this country with around 40% of the population following it and is one of the state religions of the country.

History: Tengrism arrived in Shinguo in the 1200 when nomadic invasions from the north came down south and converted many denizens of the area.

Clearly this would cause issues if this was done after the IC was up and NPCs just vassalized themselves to another player. As such Hastra must be independent from Osphen, that is not to say you can't be pro-Osphen or have a been a dominion in history but you cannot at IC start be a Dominion.

Kaiser Bering have decided thus:
For religious factbooks they do not require a history or denomination section until after canon history is done (as in the google doc is at 1933).
Yet it is still required to have beliefs and practices filled out before it can be added to the history.
of course if something happens historically you can edit the beliefs/practices after the fact just ask for approval of the edit first.

Brief History: Ancient Vael evolved from reindeer herding nomads and fishing cultures along the coast, remaining relevantly quiet until the introduction of new religions and the rise of petty kingdoms led to centuries of warfare, crusades and raiding on foreign coasts. These raiders and corsairs, known as væryags, would pose a threat to shipping from time to time up until the modern era, and remain a staple feature of Vaelian culture. With the rise of more powerful kingdoms, three major polities emerged and the crowns were each united one by one under the auspicious political skill of the Vaelian ruler Queen Erjka. She is regarded as the mother of the nation, and the founder of the High Kingdom of Vaelland. Vaelland would grow from a significant player in seagoing trade to an imperial power, and the Vaelian Empire would become a significant military power and a player in continental and regional politics until its dissolution in 1932

The latter half of the 19th century saw trade unions, independent religious groups and other popular movements, creating a strong foundation of democratic principles. In 1889 The Vaelian Iron Band Party was founded. These movements precipitated Vaelland's migration into a modern parliamentary democracy, achieved by the early 1900s. As the Industrial Revolution progressed during the 20th century, people gradually moved into cities to work in factories and became involved in socialist unions. The outbreak of the devastating [MAJOR WAR] saw Vael drawn into the conflict and fighting fiercely, but losing several key allies and eventually facing defeat.

Unrest broke out in the wake of the war's end. A communist revolution was avoided in 1917, and due to fears of growing left-wing radicalism the conservative, aristocratic government of Chancellor Emil Jaekerhavn conducted severe restrictions of civil rights. Coupled with the devastation of much of Vaelland's Hjolln industrial region and the effects on the economy, the perceived failures of the government in losing the war despite the bloodshed and sacrifices of the military led to increased unrest. Eventually several factions emerged as the situation spiraled out of control, and the democratically elected democratic socialist Iron Band Party replacing Jaekerhavn's administration was faced with a coup backed by a group of conservative military officers, right-wing aristocrats and industrialists. The coup's partial success left the country fractured, and led to the Vaelian Civil War in the 1920s.

Armed factions ranged in ideology from radical communist and anarchist revolutionaries to far-right nationalist reactionaries to moderate republicans, conservatives, and social democrats, and were joined by armed religious organizations based out of monasteries and farmers militias seeking to defend themselves and their interests from the violence. As support for the anti-communist factions poured in from other nations several major defeats seemed to shatter the far-left camp, but just as it seemed imperialist and far-right forces would be victorious the far-right camp descended into infighting as well. The Vaelian Imperial Navy, having originally declared its neutrality in the conflict, reverted to corsair raiding and often targeted communist vessels. Following the decimation of the fascist Vaelian Legion, an alliance of moderates and anti-monarchy republicans captured the capital and began cementing power.

As of 1934, the new head of state is the Premier, an office occupied by Tivor Ruvensk - the Vaelian royal family and Emperor Mikhail II have reluctantly fled and been granted asylum in [NATION]. The end of the Civil War has brought a coalition of anti-monarchy, anti-communist and anti-parlimentarian groups to the fore, who have formed a mostly benevolent semi-dictatorship calling themselves "Sanacja", who have promised to heal the bloodied nation. Their priorities: to restore the economy, industrialise the nation, rebuild the military, and stamp out unrest. Where Premier Ruvensk lies on the spectrum of Sanajca's factions is debated, even by his own allies; some allege he is a fascist waiting for the right moment to seize power, others argue he is a moderate willing to restore the constitutional monarchy despite the objections of the far-left, others still cry out that his allegiance lies with Marx and the global revolution - evidenced by his concessions to the Iron Band and other democratic socialists. All that is certain is he is a clever man, and one dedicated to what he believes is the best path for the Vaelian people. Beginning his tenure with the introduction of a Six Year Plan and a mix of public executions and pardons alike for political prisoners, he seems intent on leading Vaelland into a new era - even as remaining revolutionaries are put down in viscous paramilitary street fighting, and advocates for imperial restoration clash with authoritarians in the halls of the National Assembly.

Brief History: Ancient Vael evolved from reindeer herding nomads and fishing cultures along the coast, remaining relevantly quiet until the introduction of new religions and the rise of petty kingdoms led to centuries of warfare, crusades and raiding on foreign coasts. These raiders and corsairs, known as væryags, would pose a threat to shipping from time to time up until the modern era, and remain a staple feature of Vaelian culture. With the rise of more powerful kingdoms, three major polities emerged and the crowns were each united one by one under the auspicious political skill of the Vaelian ruler Queen Erjka. She is regarded as the mother of the nation, and the founder of the High Kingdom of Vaelland. Vaelland would grow from a significant player in seagoing trade to an imperial power, and the Vaelian Empire would become a significant military power and a player in continental and regional politics until its dissolution in 1932

The latter half of the 19th century saw trade unions, independent religious groups and other popular movements, creating a strong foundation of democratic principles. In 1889 The Vaelian Iron Band Party was founded. These movements precipitated Vaelland's migration into a modern parliamentary democracy, achieved by the early 1900s. As the Industrial Revolution progressed during the 20th century, people gradually moved into cities to work in factories and became involved in socialist unions. The outbreak of the devastating [MAJOR WAR] saw Vael drawn into the conflict and fighting fiercely, but losing several key allies and eventually facing defeat.

Unrest broke out in the wake of the war's end. A communist revolution was avoided in 1917, and due to fears of growing left-wing radicalism the conservative, aristocratic government of Chancellor Emil Jaekerhavn conducted severe restrictions of civil rights. Coupled with the devastation of much of Vaelland's Hjolln industrial region and the effects on the economy, the perceived failures of the government in losing the war despite the bloodshed and sacrifices of the military led to increased unrest. Eventually several factions emerged as the situation spiraled out of control, and the democratically elected democratic socialist Iron Band Party replacing Jaekerhavn's administration was faced with a coup backed by a group of conservative military officers, right-wing aristocrats and industrialists. The coup's partial success left the country fractured, and led to the Vaelian Civil War in the 1920s.

Armed factions ranged in ideology from radical communist and anarchist revolutionaries to far-right nationalist reactionaries to moderate republicans, conservatives, and social democrats, and were joined by armed religious organizations based out of monasteries and farmers militias seeking to defend themselves and their interests from the violence. As support for the anti-communist factions poured in from other nations several major defeats seemed to shatter the far-left camp, but just as it seemed imperialist and far-right forces would be victorious the far-right camp descended into infighting as well. The Vaelian Imperial Navy, having originally declared its neutrality in the conflict, reverted to corsair raiding and often targeted communist vessels. Following the decimation of the fascist Vaelian Legion, an alliance of moderates and anti-monarchy republicans captured the capital and began cementing power.

As of 1934, the new head of state is the Premier, an office occupied by Tivor Ruvensk - the Vaelian royal family and Emperor Mikhail II have reluctantly fled and been granted asylum in [NATION]. The end of the Civil War has brought a coalition of anti-monarchy, anti-communist and anti-parlimentarian groups to the fore, who have formed a mostly benevolent semi-dictatorship calling themselves "Sanacja", who have promised to heal the bloodied nation. Their priorities: to restore the economy, industrialise the nation, rebuild the military, and stamp out unrest.

You need to explain those 6 gods and why they are important and perhaps at least mention the names of the other gods
Your practice of drinking champagne is similar enough to the Eucharist IRL of christianity, as such you must speak with the recusants on why you would have such a similar practice historically, because they are the IC version of christianity.

A little early but I would like to add this religion to the history
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=kai ... 164226#4_1
the entire factbook goes over the general belief while the section linked is my particular religion.
I am hoping that the Kingdom of Lombardy, Kingdom of Denmark, and Kingdom of Sweden will be mostly compromised of this faith.

Approved, just be willing to change history should the official history change

Brief History: Formed in 306 AD as a city state. Conquered local neighbors from 384 AD until 402 AD to form the fledgling kingdom, and waged small wars from 447 AD- 533 AD to rise to their current borders. Had a civil war in 799 that led to a period of Oligarchic rule where the kingdom was broken up into smaller city states, from 902 AD- 1372 AD. Was reformed from 1374 AD- 1514 AD as a republic, and underwent another Civil War from 1515 AD-1522 AD to install a King. A compromise was reached in 1798 with a Constitutional Monarchy and the abolishment of slavery, following a period of heavy civil unrest that threatened to break into a third bloody civil war. Since 1798, have been quietly minding their own business, looking towards the future.
