Cennito, officially the Holy State of Cennito, is a theocratic state lying on the border of the Republic of Fiucce and the Grand Principality of Livoli. Bolsering a population of about 1.2 million, Cennito is a deeply religious society where all aspects of life, economic and politics revolve around the church and clergy. There is no separation between church and state.
The nation is largely agricultural, with a majority of the population living in small communities centered around churches and Priories. The economy is slow, but most of the population live simply without a need for consumer goods. Most of the population are farmers, stonemasons, carpenters or monks. The population attempts to live sustainably and in harmony with nature. Farming practices are sustainable, any forestry and logging required is done so in a manner to encourage new growth. Mining is conducted to not deplete resources and damage the landscape. The clergy believes that a healthy, well maintained landscape leads to a healthy people. As farming and animal husbandry are very common professions, Cennito exports oats, dairy products, potatoes, beans and wheat (flour). Tourists from neighboring nations bring in a healthy portion of revenue, with tourists arriving to see the vast number of ornate and elaborate churches, buy local goods and spend time in the countryside.
Monastic orders are common, and monasteries can be seen dotting the landscape. The most notable monastic orders are the Order of Saint Laurence the Recluse, the Order of Saint Anne, and the Order of Saint Cuthbert. The Church of Cennito can be described as a form of insular old catholic christianity. It yet retains a greater emphasis on penance and monasticism, encouraging pastoral and rural isolation.
The only legal form of marriage is heterosexual and monogamous. Divorce must be approved by an Abbot, Deacon or in certain circumstances, the Archbishop or Auxiliary Bishop. Same-sex relations are criminal. Male and female adultery is criminal, as is deviancy and witchcraft. The law enforcement is vested in the Order of the Faith and Peace and the Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, which acts as a secret police. The main form of non-lethal punishment is public flogging, humiliation via pillory or hard labor. Those sentenced to death suffer crucifixion or burning at the stake. For a criminal to be sentenced to crucifixion, the Archbishop must approve of and be present during the punishment.
