Yamanikarism is a religion founded by a man named Yamanikari. He recieved the ''Revelations'' in which creation and the such was detailed. He believed in a satan like figure, for one vision said:

''I saw a man made of light, and he said: ''I am the Chosen One, who leads men to the Lord. Follow me.'' Then a man, formed of darkness said ''I am the Lord of the Abyss, Ruler of the Wicked and the Damned. If you follow me, you will be tormented. For those with faith and virtue are saved, those with none are damned.''

Yamanikarism believes in a Chosen One, and like the Jewish people waits for the Messiah, so do the Yamanikarists wait for the CO (the Man made of Light).

Yamanikarist art and hymn singing are known in the world. Yamanikarism is Monotheist and believes that virtue and faith are both equal. The wicked are damned to the Abyss and those virtuous are granted Eternal Life in the Heavens.

God created the world with the help of His Angels in Yamanikarism. This faith believes in a Judgment Day as well. Yamanikarists worship on Sundays in Temples. They adapted the Book of Psalms from the Bible to their faith. Yamanikari is laid to rest in the Great Mausoleum of Gracanica.

Worship includes singing, prayer, sermons and the such. Chanting may be included. Services are simple but to the point. The land of Vardaria is the only majority Yamanikarist nation reportedly.

Yamanikarism is headed by a Council of the Faith, which heads all parishes in Vardaria and of the world. The Council of the Faith is headed by a Religious Chancellor (need to think of a good title), who can convene the Council together. It is formed by representitives of parishes, etc.

Yamanikarists refer to the Council for doctrine and the such. The Council is HQed in Vardaria, in the Council Temple.

Yamanikarism is not that much into conversion, but welcomes converts. It does not really seem to actively try to get converts, like missionaries would. If any nation is ok with Yamanikarists opening parishes in their land, they should contact the Council.

Note-Is any nation ok with me opening parishes of Yamanikarism in their lands?

You can set it up in Cruxium, but religion is taxed. So is being religious and you have to purchase a religious license per building wherein worship is conducted. You also cannot advertise or convert people within the countries borders, making it mildly difficult, but not impossible.

Yamanikarism does not really do such things, but welcomes conversion. We thank you for allowing parishes to open. We will purchase a religious license for ourselves. Thank you for your time.

You can open up some in Maraque but conversion is highly outlawed and punishable by death, a severe death might I add.

They are also taxed 80% per establishment, and lease prices for land is doubled because of the fact that it is a place of worship.

OOC note: Welcome back, btw. :p

Kanami is a strong beliver in Freedom of Religion. We welcome your religion to our nation. We ask also in return you allow Churches of Christaoism to be set up in your nation.

In the case of Maraque, we would like to state the parishes would be for Vardarian citizens in Maraque and possibly immigrants and Vardarian tourists. We will accept the costs and we thank you for allowing us to open parishes.

That is fully acceptable to us and we will allow churches of Christao in Vardaria, and we will open Yamanikarian parishes in Kanami.

Anyone else open to me opening parishes in their lands?

Although we are mostly secular, 60% of the Population is Non-Religious, we accept all religions.

In the Democratic Republic of Granate religion is seen more as an Organization rather then faith, so along with most other smaller Organizations, your Religion will be entitled to around 1 Million Dollars a year to maintain your facilities and do what you will with the rest.

We accept and thank you for your allowance of us to open parishes in Granate. Thank you for your time and thank you again. We also thank you for the allowance of money, to help us upkeep our parishes.

We have no qualms about allowing your religion in your nation. Though we must inform that a good majority of our nation is Catholic or Shinto. You shouldn't have too many problems though, but keep it in mind.

We thank Kurona for their allowance of us opening parishes in their lands. We also understand and thank them for their info.

You are welcome in our country as long as you dont discriminate, attack, condemn or threaten any other religion.
Oh, and dont conduct Human Sacrifices.

Yamanikarism does not do any of those things. We thank you for welcoming us into your nation.

You are welcome in Aqua Anu, so long as you abide by the law.

Virtue and Faith are equal in Yamanikarism. The wicked are damned to the Abyss, the righteous go to the Heavens. Repentance is practiced by those who sin, and do not want to have it burden them. Yamanikarism does not believe that all those who are not in the Faith are cursed to the Abyss. All those who are Good recieve Eternal Life. For those virtuous and those who are faithful to the Lord recieve Eternal Life.

Also, we will abide by the law and we thank Aqua Anu.

Yamanikarism believes in the equality of women and children. Children and women can participate in services of worship. However, women have not been members of the Council of the Faith, not that they were not allowed to, some say because no women have been interested.

All religions are respected in Yamanikarism. Atheists are respected, for ''Free will gives all men the right to believeth in whatever they wish.''

Thank you to all who have allowed me to open parishes in your nations!

OOC: He made 3 yesterday, one was Sikhism, another was Pope Leo something, and another one. 127 it is.

BTW dude, take me off your block list.

The great majority of our people are either Lutheran or secular, but you're fine, as long as you don't be friends with the Muslims

(OOC: If you're serious about setting up in Cruxium kindly visit the privatization of Cruxium thread. Link in my sig.)

Arthur Rockingham, the Lord Chancellor, had heard about the Yamanikarists asking for permission to open their parishes in foreign lands. He brought it up with the King in his morning briefing.

"My liege, a heathen faction is asking for permission to set up their...'parishes' in Cotenshire. I wanted to consult you before making an executive decision."

"My kingdom is already riddled with enough heretical religions, Lord Chancellor. If they want to come here, they must prove their worth."

"But of course, my liege. I shall respond appropriately."



To the Yamanikarist Council of Faith

His Grace, King William V of Cotenshire, is contemplating whether or not your ministries will be allowed in Cotenshire. What can your followers give to our communities and our nation?

Signed,
Arthur Rockingham, Lord Chancellor
