Background

The Imperial Coalition features a variety of in-game religions and real-world religion. Many builds have a clear religious inspiration.

Christianity

A Christian church is a staple in many Imperial Coalition towns. Finished on March 3rd, 2019, Oakwood Church in Okeogi is the oldest church in the empire. Edago boasts the largest of these, constructed primarily by famed builder turned administrator Orknarok.

Notchism

Notchism was an in-game religion that spread throughout old Okeogi in early 2019 by Steve02, it's founder. He constructed many Notch totems throughout the islands. Uneasy residents were not very receptive to Steve02's actions and he was granted permission to spearhead the development of his own subdivision of Okeogi in what would eventually become Edago. Eventually, Notism was banned by the Okeogian council. Steve02 refused to honor the ban and was banished to a tundra. In 2021, a non-binding public opinion poll of residents of the Imperial Coalition supported the idea of overturning the ban. However, no action has been taken and Notism remains illegal in the Greater Okeogi area. The Notch Temple and Notch Construct in Edago remain popular landmarks in Edago.

Monolithism

Founded by ManiManden in 2021, Monolithism is focused on the worship and praise of what is referred to as the "Holy Monolith" located in Kekistan. ManiManden was able to spread his message across the world (including the Imperial Coalition). He gained a cult of followers who would help him spread the Monolith. ManiManden himself was the subject of a dog-killing scandal that saw him banned, and Monolithism died alongside his ban.
