The '''Tyreseian Coptic Church''' or '''Nazarene Copts''', officially the '''Most Holy Coptic Church of the Nazarenes''' or simply '''Coptic Nazarism''' is a {{wp|Christianity|Sarpetic religion}}, operating as a distant offshoot of the [[Alban_Nazarism|Alban church]]. The faith is named after the now-abandoned Hellenic settlement of Kóptos; this town is taught by Church tradition to be its birthplace following the arrival of Saint Euphrosynos of Adrianople. Working from a {{wp|Gnosticism|Gnostic}} interpretation of the {{wp|Bible|Two Treasures}}, Euphrosynos preached a wholly dualistic vision of Yeshua and of the Godhead that quickly took root in the communities of modern-day Tyreseia and other fringes of the Alban world. Diverging from St. Alban's vision of a purely monastic polity, Euphrosynos created a largely presbyterian structure that survives nearly unchanged to this day.


Still a largely Gnostic faith, the Coptic Church adopted elements of [[wikipedia:Esoteric_Christianity|esoterism]] and [[wikipedia:Christian_mysticism|mysticism]] over the centuries as part of a central belief that active pursuit of knowledge, especially through invention and exploration of the cosmos, brings the faithful closer to the Unbegotten and hastens the onset of the End Times. Despite this, Coptic monastic orders and societies exist, though they are not as numerous or as prominent as they were in their heyday.  
The '''Republican Guard''' (Latin: ''Cohortēs Reipublicae''), officially the '''Bureau of the Guards of the Republic''' (Latin: ''Officium Cohortēs Reipublicae''), is the {{wp|Gendarmerie|gendarmerie}} of the [[Tyreseia|Workers' Federation of Tyreseia]]. Formed by strongman Azmelqart Sidduni as a personal {{wp|secret police}} force, it quickly morphed after his death into a more judicial force. Today, it performs numerous duties within the country, including domestic intelligence and counterintelligence, crowd control, terrorism response, airport and border security, white-collar crime, and numerous other responsibilities. In addition, the Guard will often be contracted by rural or depopulated areas to serve the function of a local constabulary in exchange for a stipend. While legally an arm of the [[Workers' Navy of Tyreseia]], it is in effect a civilian agency, with most oversight given by the civilian Workers' Commissariat of Justice and Public Safety. Its Intelligence Bureau is the premier civil intelligence agency in the country, and frequently cooperates with both the Office of Naval Intelligence and its intelligence counterparts in neighboring [[Talahara]].  


At present, the vast majority of Copts live in [[Tyreseia]], though smaller communities exist across the [[Periclean_world|Periclean basin]] and elsewhere.
==History==


==Principal Beliefs==
The Coptic church believes in a proto-heavenly realm known as the [[wikipedia:Pleroma|Pleroma]], ruled over by a supreme being known variously as the [[wikipedia:Monad|Monad]], Godhead, God, or YHWH. The Pleroma, or fullness, serves as the realm of the Monad, as well as of various lesser spiritual entities known as [[wikipedia:Aeon_(Gnosticism)|Aeons]] and [[wikipedia:Archon_(Gnosticism)|Archons.]] In the beginning, the Monad created these Archons, including [[wikipedia:Sophia_(Gnosticism)|Sophia]] and the [[wikipedia:Demiurge|Demiurge]]. In breaking with Alban teachings, Coptic traditions maintain these two as lovers or perhaps even spouses, though modern teachings leave this issue deliberately vague. Regardless, it is taught that the Demiurge and Sophia jointly created all of the physical Creation, with the Demiurge, sometimes ignorant of the Monad and sometimes in defiance of him, creating all that is evil and decadent in the world. Sophia, meanwhile, created all that could be spiritual in the world, creating paths to salvation through all that can be considered good. She had to hide these ideas and concepts behind esoteric rites and knowledge, however, due to her lesser power compared to the Demiurge and out of fear of his power. Some of these truths were left to humanity through the ages in the process described in the Old Testament, but this eventually proved insufficient to save the souls of the trapped from the Demiurge's corruption.


Later, as humanity continued its fall into wickedness, Sophia and the Monad are said to have conspired against the Demiurge and sent the Aeon known as [[wikipedia:Jesus|Yeshua-Amitai]] to Earth to spread new doctrines of salvation to the people. It is through St. Alban's and St. Euphrosynous' interpretations of these teachings that the modern Coptic church defines itself and its teachings. The Coptic Church teaches that recognizing the Monad as the true source of divine power in all things is the first step toward salvation. From this, it is all humans' duty to pursue ''gnosis'', or knowledge of the divine and its workings. This can either be done through study in certain worldly scientific fields, such as astronomy, geology and cosmology, or through the ritual consumption and exploration of various mystical and esoteric rites and texts.

Founding stuff
==Branches==


By the time of the Xth century, the Coptic Church had solidified its position in a post-Latin Periclean region, with the Presbyter Princeps establishing a primary see in the city of Tyria while the Rector Princeps established administrative headquarters in the city of Gadir. With the collapse of the hostile, Fabrian Catholic-leaning Latin Empire, the Coptic Church was suddenly free to grow and expand.
===Intelligence Bureau===


==Organization==
===Local Constabluary Service===
The Coptic Church lacks the ascetism, monastic emphasis, and disdain for ritual practice of the Alban church. The network of churches serve as networks to spread divine and esoteric knowledge to the initiated faithful, as well as centers to encourage worshippers to pursue ''gnosis'' in the correct directions to connect with the Monad through Sophia's works. Monastic orders, though not central to the Coptic Church, still serve important functions.

In keeping with the dualistic cosmology, the Coptic Church has not one, but two executive heads: the Rector Princeps and Presbyter Princeps.  
==Ranks==
The Republican Guard is made up of numerous enlisted, non-commissioned officer, and commissioned officer ranks. A full table for each is included below.

Most modern controversies surrounding the Coptic Church come from the x Princeps' control of the outward flow of finances. For instance, in 2004, numerous protests were lodged with the [[National University of Tyreseia]] following a ៛2.5 million endowment from the Church towards the College of Religious Studies.

The Republican Guard (Latin: Cohortēs Reipublicae), officially the Bureau of the Guards of the Republic (Latin: Officium Cohortēs Reipublicae), is the gendarmerie of the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia. Formed by strongman Azmelqart Sidduni as a personal secret police force, it quickly morphed after his death into a more judicial force. Today, it performs numerous duties within the country, including domestic intelligence and counterintelligence, crowd control, terrorism response, airport and border security, white-collar crime, and numerous other responsibilities. In addition, the Guard will often be contracted by rural or depopulated areas to serve the function of a local constabulary in exchange for a stipend. While legally an arm of the Workers' Navy of Tyreseia, it is in effect a civilian agency, with most oversight given by the civilian Workers' Commissariat of Justice and Public Safety. Its Intelligence Bureau is the premier civil intelligence agency in the country, and frequently cooperates with both the Office of Naval Intelligence and its intelligence counterparts in neighboring Talahara.
