The Church of Makko Oko is the established Satanic church of the Empire Of Makko Oko. The church is state-sponsored, supported and run by the Supreme Leader, an executive-level position in the government. The church was officially formed on January 6th, 2023 after Emperor Conall Solis sought to expand the religion of Satanism past the nation's borders.
History
Era of Secularity
Makko Oko had been largely secular for a majority of its history, from even before formation of the Republic. When the Republic came to be, secularity was embraced, but hadn't been strictly enforced until the presidency of Gary Taormina from 2000-2007, where the government sought to enact laws restricting the promotion of religions in many different areas. The enforcement was relaxed upon the presidency of Harold Zenonis and publicly religious people began to peak, moreso than any other period in the Republic's history.
Era of Theocracy
The era of secularity continued upon the establishment upon the Empire, however much more strictly. All religions had been prohibited, and any practice of such had also been prohibited. These rules were constantly protested but the rules never changed until November of 2021 when a single religion got permitted through the Universal Religions Charter that was enacted, Satanism. Enrollment into it was high at first but went drastically down by the time theocracy was officially instated on February 18th, 2022, forcing everybody into the religion or prosecution would occur.
Establishment of the Church
There were discussions of the establishment of an official church institution throughout 2022 after theocracy was instated. Each attempt came back to "In the works" or "Not at this time" responses from the Emperor. That all changed on January 16th, 2023 when after Carytonic transgressions against its own people were committed and a temporary diplomatic battle was waged, Emperor Conall Solis formally announced the establishment of the Church Of Makko Oko with Supreme Leader Richard Garst to help promote Satanism and provide "stability to the religion".
