|The Ecclesiastical State is the temporal and sovereign territory governed by the [[Fabrian Catholic Church]], with the [[Pope of the Fabrian Catholic Church]] as the sovereign and supreme political and spiritual authority. Since its founding in 1860, the Ecclesiastical State has through legal, political and social means attempted to freeze the amount of non-Catholic adherents within its borders. This is primarily aimed at the Orthodox Christian, Protestant and Alban minorities - who are barred from employment in education and the civil service. The are planning and design restrictions on non-Catholic places of worship, with the notable exception being Synagogues. There has been a consistent history of violence against religious minorities, usually confined to localised incidents in the north of the country where Orthodox and Alban Christians reside, though cases of sectarian violence have dramatically reduced since the early 20th century. Despite this, legalistic and social discrimination remain.

State religion in Ajax is a divisive topic in the region, with many nations having such a philosophy, and others viewing it as undemocratic.

  There is a state religion or creed, and citizens are encouraged or forced to adhere to it.
  There is a state religion or creed, but citizens are free to practice any religion they please.
  There is no state religion or creed, and citizens are free to practice any religion they please.

Nation Status Details
 Allamunnic States There is no state religion or creed, and citizens
are free to practice any religion they please. 		Prior to unification, most of the Allamunnic nations were nominally Christian, but a revival of Allamunnic indigenous religious practices divided the nation. At unification, the Federal government was made secular, but informally its policies benefit the decentralized, community-oriented Tyrrian congregations over other religious organizations.
 Ghant There is no state religion or creed, and citizens
are free to practice any religion they please. 		The Ghantish "Old Law" Sinesmena protects the rights of people to believe in whatever God(s) they see fit. Due to religion being a highly polarizing topic in Ghant, there is no official state religion, which is enforced by law.
 Latium There is a state religion or creed, but citizens
are free to practice any religion they please. 		The official state faith of Latium is Fabrian Catholicism, and all members of the Imperial family are required to be members of the faith in order to hold a place in the line of succession. While there are protections in place to allow for the freedom of expression of other faiths for Latin citizens, there still exists a large social pressure on being a Catholic.
 Lyncanestria There is a state religion or creed, but citizens
are free to practice any religion they please. 		The Church of Lyncanestria is the official state religion of Lyncanestria. Established by edict, it is subject to the Parliament, but is given numerous rights and privileges, including autonomy in doctrine, appointment of bishops, taxation of its members, and internal structure. Additionally, the Church is granted the the right to preside over official state holidays and religious observances, including Christmas, Easter, the Epiphany and other celebrations such as coronations, baptisms, and inaugurations. All members of the Imperial Family must profess this creed, per the Constitution, to be able to inherit the Lyncanestrian throne.
 Mutul There is a state religion or creed, and citizens are encouraged or forced to adhere to it. The K'uhul Chichob is the state religion of Mutul and the most practiced religion in the country. The K'uhul Ajaw is the head of the Church and is considered an avatar of the god of rain and thunder Chaac. By law, citizens of the Mutul are k'uhun (believers) and changing religion result in the automatic loss of citizenship. Proselythism and preaching for other religions is banned and so is the construction of non-Mutulese houses of worship. The union of the State and of the Church is part of the constitution and civil and religious duties are often held by the same person.
 Sydalon There is a state religion or creed, and citizens
are encouraged or forced to adhere to it. 		The official state faith of Sydalon has been Fabrian Catholicism since the 13th century. Adherence to Catholicism is often a requirement for participation as a full member of Sydalonian society, such as holding public office, welfare, and even the ability to freely travel though some parts of the country. All members of the Royal Family are required to be Fabrian Catholic to be eligible for succession to the throne.
 Vardana There is no state religion or creed, and citizens are free to practice any religion they please. Iotopha is a secular country according to the 1986 Constitution, and citizens are free to practice any religion or creed. However, the government does place certain restrictions on certain religious groups in the country. The constitution prohibits discrimination on religious grounds.
 Yisrael There is a state religion or creed, but citizens
are free to practice any religion they please. 		Halachic Judaism is the official state religion of Yisrael. Established by royal decree until the 1919 Revolution, when it was codified in the 1920 Royal Constitution. The Chief Rabbinate of Yisrael is authorized by the state to preside over all Jewish religious affairs. Additionally, all official state holidays and religious observances are under the Jewish calendar and according to Jewish Law. As well, only Jews may sit on the throne.

However, Yisrael guarantees freedom of religion through a self-regulating confessional system for recognized religious groups to handle their own religious affairs. All practices are permitted except those deemed in violation of the universal morality. Jews and Non-Jews are equally entitled to all rights and privileges under state holidays and secular laws.
