Religion in the Imperial Coalition
The Imperial Coalition features a variety of religions, whether it be real-life or in-game. Many builds have a clear religious inspiration.
Christianity
Christian churches are 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 some of the largest churches, constructed primarily by famed builder
Orknarok_666 in March 2021.
Notchism
Notchism was an in-game religion that was focused on the worship of Notch and was spread throughout Old Okeogi in early 2019 by
steve02, its founder. He constructed many Notch totems throughout the islands. Uneasy residents were not very receptive to
steve02's actions. To satisfy the public, Governor
marioboyrc granted
steve02 permission to spearhead the development of his own subdivision of Okeogi in what would eventually become Edago. There, he could freely embrace Notchism. However, Notchism was eventually banned altogether by the Okeogian council.
steve02 refused to honor the ban and was banished to a cold 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 Notchism remains illegal in the Greater Okeogi area. The Notch Temple and Notch Construct in Edago remain popular landmarks in Edago.
Monolithism
Founded by
mandimanden in 2021, Monolithism is focused on the worship and praise of what is referred to as the "Holy Monolith" located in Kekistan.
mandimanden 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 word of the Monolith.
mandimanden himself was the perpetrator of a dog-killing scandal that saw him banned, and Monolithism died alongside his ban. His ban has since been overturned but Monolithism remains largely dead within the empire.
