Keshiland literally wrote:I would give it a no. A country that lies about how free, or how great, or how humanitarian it is can never be developed. Example, NK lies and says they are democratic and are not, the US lies and says we are free yet we incarcerate millions for a medical plant. See we are basically a larger more populated North Korea.

Iclande wrote:Does your nation have a Bible Belt? An area of high religious observance that clings to traditional values and social conservativism.
Iclande is an island nation to the north-west of Scandinavia that has religiously been dominated by Calvinism since the Reformation in the 16th century. Iclande remains a relatively conservative nation, with an Official State Church (the Reformed Church of Iclande) and relatively high levels of church attendance compared to most of western Europe. However even in this conservative and religious nation there is a stretch of rural territory that is sufficiently devout to be regarded as the "Bible Belt" by the rest of the nation.
In the rural districts to the east of the capital Tüsa from Gammelhavn to Jarvenssa traditional churches dominate. Through the 18th to 20th centuries (some argue that we're in the midst of yet another evangelical awakening) a series of religious rivals and schisms have produced a wide range of Reformed Churches outside of the official state church, including but not limited to the Independent Reformed Church, the Reconstituted Reformed Church and the Spiritual Calvinist Church. The local Church Elders dominate their flocks and one almost steps back in time

RSP share of the vote in the last general election.
These hard line fundamentalist churches even have their own political parties. At every general election rural areas of the north and west are shaded brown as the Reformed Social Party gains the most votes. The Reformed Social Party is an oddity in western Europe, a religious right political party that dominates certain districts. On the island of Urk the RSP receive over 60% of the vote in rural areas and even 40% of the vote in the town of Urk where they govern in coalition with conservative parties.

Family in Bible Belt in traditional clothing (and clogs).
Tourism is one of the largest industries in Iclande, even in the Bible Belt. Skiing in the winter, whale watching off the coast and pristine countryside attract tourists for all over the world. However, check in advance, because in the Bible Belt you won't find shops open on Sundays and outside of the largest towns there are no bars, pubs or off-licenses selling alcohol. And it is easy to tell the locals from the tourists, because the locals often look like they have stepped out of history books, complete with peasant costumes and wooden clogs!

The buckle of the belt in Urk.
Along with tourism, Iclande has thriving fishing, beef and dairy sectors, bringing wealth to the Bible Belt. This allows the region to cope with its large families as most adults in religious families marry young and have lots of children. However there are many issues that are not hard to find. Drug abuse and alcoholism affect even these communities and many youngster are eager to migrate to the cities.

There are lots of these in the Bible Belt.
The Bible Belt is a colourful addition to Iclandic society and makes other conservative but non-religious areas of Iclande look quite liberal by comparison.
So enough if Iclande, are there any extremely devout areas of your nation? Do you have Bible or Quran Belts?
Nothing of note, Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
