How easy would it be to start a religious cult based on the political and social ideals of NS. I bet it could be done. How sweet would that be?

It depends on what type of cult you want to form... I'm sure it would be easy to get a bunch of people to jump on the bandwagon and say, "Oooh, yeah, I'll be part of the NS cult."

Are you actually suggesting a real cult based on ideals and what-nots circulating around NS? It'd be an interesting idea.

Depends if we are recognized by the government as a cult or a religion

Max Barry would be sort of like, an untouchable god. The book would just be our bible.

Yeah, but for that to really work he'd have to be dead, and I'd feel sorta bad about killing Max Barry.
Alexias

what about

"Disciples of Maxx"

or

"The holy Church of the true Dogma(of Barry)"

Yeah! And then we (our leader included) can all have a mass suicide to become one with Barry!

The propblem with the name JenniferGovermentism is everybody would call us JG's. Same problem with NationStatism. We need a name that cannot be shortened for convenience, especially in the media.

Maxxism?

And we cannot worship anybody living, or only recently dead. Anyways, its more fun to worship something either non-living or intangible, and preferrably something that isn't faulty.

I think Nationstatesism cause it's based off of nationstates.

And about Max being dead, we can fix that :sniper: :gundge: :mp5:

You know, for the sake of religion :p

Call it Maxism.
That way you might end up with extra followers because of dyslexic Marxists...
