Amathia (Amathian: Ⰰⰿⰰⱚⰹⰰ), officially the Amathian Democratic Republic (Ⱃⰵⱂⱆⰱⰾⰹⰽⰰ Ⰴⰵⰿⱁⰽⱃⰰⱅⱐ Ⰰⰿⰰⱚⰹⰰⱀⱐ, tr. Republica Democrată Amathiană), also known as the Amathian DR (ⰓⰄ Ⰰⰿⰰⱚⰹⰰⱀⱐ, RD Amathiană;) or the ADR (ⰓⰄⰀ, RDA), is a is a sovereign nation and a federal semi-presidential directorial republic in Kylaris, located in Southeastern Euclea. Amathia is bordered to the south by the Mazdan Sea, by Piraea to the southeast, Etruria to the east, Gaullica to the northeast, Champania to the north, Bistravia to the northwest and Tengaria to the west.
The current territory of Amathia has been inhabited since prehistoric times, by the people who became known as the Amathii. The ancient Odomantian Kingdom defied the Solarian Empire for centuries, before being eventually conquered and turned into a Solarian province. The region was then heavily colonized by Solarians, being closely integrated into the empire. The provincial administration managed to survive the collapse of Solaria, with the last Solarian governor crowning himself Emperor, leading to the creation of the Empire of Arciluco, a Solarian successor state that developed into a unique Amathian entity throughout the Middle Ages. The Arcilucan realm eventually collapsed, with multiple smaller states vying for power during the Century of Discord, but external threats ended their religious conflicts and unified them into the Unio Trium Nationum, the first modern Amathian state. The confederation eventually collapsed during the violence of the Pereramonic Wars, but the Floren invasion was the spark that lit the flame of Amathian nationalism. The Telois-Tresia dynasty then took over the throne of the newly created Kingdom of Amathia, bringing stability, modernization, and sense of unity with them. The Kingdom aligned itself with Gaullica during the 19th and 20th centuries, and was eventually forced to take part in the Great War, that exposed underlying political, religious, and ethnic tensions that led to the collapse of the monarchy, invasion by Narozalic and Etrurian forces, a civil war, and the rise of a Councilist regime through a large far-left bloc of political and paramilitary forces.
The Council Republic was initially somewhat popular despite the atrocities of the civil war, and managed to secure its position and recognition through its participation in the Solarian War. Caught in between the influence spheres of Narozalica and Kirenia, and having to face the upheaval caused by its numerous reforms, the Council Republic had to face a rising internal opposition, and a gruelling political conflict between different factions. This conflict resulted in a failed uprising and a successful coup d'etat which brought the authoritarian Equalist faction into power. The new regime quickly became more and more repressive, taking control of the republic's parliamentary process through a single-monopoly party, increasing the size of its secret police and military, but the continued Narozalic occupation of West Arciluco and the rapid deteroriation of relations with the socialist world isolated the country. Economic mismanagement and tensions with Narozalica weakened the regime's support even further, and with the withdrawal of all foreign troops through the Arciluco Accords, the Equalist state collapsed in the short but violent Amathian Revolution, that ended with the restoration of democracy, and the beginning of a new path towards liberalization and modernization.
Today, Amathia maintains high literacy, life expectancy and education levels and is one of the most frequently visited countries in the region. Amathia is regionally and internationally renowned for its natural beauty and cultural heritage inherited from its many historical civilizations, its cuisine, sports, its beautiful music, architecture and its festivals, some of which are the largest and most prominent of their kind in Southeastern Euclea. Amathia has a relatively good economy, but it has been plagued in the last decade by a general political instability, which has threatened the stability of the Amathian economy and of the Amathian state itself.
The country is home to six regional, ethnographic groups or, officially, constituent groups, as specified in the constitution. Five of these groups belong to the family of the Western Solarian peoples, with the Argetians as the largest, followed by the Sorians, the Malvians, the Marisians and the Zirnarians. The sixth group, the Preidans, are the descendants of the ancient Amathii peoples. A native of Amathia, regardless of its regional group, is identified in Estmerish as an Amathian. The region of Amathia is culturally and religiously diverse and fragmented, and as such, Amathia is well known throughout Kylaris for its long record of religious and cultural tolerance, and for the extensive rights granted to its regional groups and other ethnic and religious minorities. The endeavor of the Amathian Government for equality has however led to various internal rivalries, and to a conflict with the two largest religious bodies of the country, the Episemialist Church and the Amathian Rite Catholic Church.
Amathia is formed by six constituent republics, Argetia, Preida, Soria, Marisia, Zirnaria and Malvia, led from the central capital and the largest city of Arciluco. It has a bicameral legislature, and a six-member Presidency, composed of a member elected from each of Amathia's constituent republics. The Amathian Democratic Republic is a member of the Euclean Community, the Community of Nations, the ICD, the ITO and the GIFA.
Etymology
The exact origin of the country's name is still disputed, but it is known that the region of the present day has Amathia has been bearing this name from ancient times. Most historians and etymologists believe that the Solarian name for the region and for its people, the Amathii, was actually borrowed from the Piraeans, who were the first civilization to come into contact with these ancient people. It is unknown how the Amathii called themselves, as they left behind no written records, and as such, the Solarian name for the province resisted the test of time, being extensively used by most of the states which occupied the region after the fall of Solaria, even though most of the inhabitants of the region continued to call themselves Solarians up until the end of the Middle Ages.
The name of Amathia was officially adopted in 1730, at the height of the early Amathian nationalism, which, in the face of disbelief about the Solarianity of the Amathians, sought to distance itself from the legacy of the old empire, which had long been an object of discord among all Solarian peoples. Instead, Amathian nationalism focused on what made the Amathians unique. Their common descent from the Arcilucan realm, the Amathian languages,their religious traditions, and many others.
As such, there are multiple possible meanings of the name "Amathia". The most often used explanation is tied to ancient Piraean philosophy, where the term amathia can be described as a willing ignorance, an unwillingness to learn, a purposeful disknowledge. It is believed that the ancient Piraeans would have chosen this peculiar name for the Amathii due to their religious customs. The Amathii were an advanced civilization, more than able to build cities and beautiful monuments, but as their ancient faith preached, they themselves lived simple lives in nature, their beautiful cities lying empty as shrines to their deities. The modern Amathian national movement dealt with his meaning by molding its ignorance into their national desires, where the modern ignorance of the Amathians was described as a purposeful abandonment of those Eastern lies which simply sought to destroy the Amathian identity.
There are of course, other more likely and less philosophic meanings of the name. The "amath-" particle can be understood as meaning sand, or dust, which could have been adopted as a name for the region by the early Piraean colonists who explored Amathia's coasts. An alternative explanation of the same meaning, but with an emphasis on dust, quotes an ancient text by a Piraean historian who seems to describe an ancient volcanic eruption somewhere in Amathia, which led to large amounts of ash covering the ground, possibly explaining the historical association of the region with volcanic ash and dust.
History
Early history
The archaeological discoveries throughout the modern territory of Amathia point towards the presence of modern humans in the region from at least 40,000 years ago. Various cultures existed on these territories from the early Neolithic, with many of those developing in coastal areas. Hyndo-Euclean people eventually migrated to the area and conquered the previous inhabitants,assimilating them and forming the people known as the Preidans. The dawn of recorded human history found the Preidans organized into countless tribes, with the Tirii, the Pocurii, the Aktakoi, and the Kalinoi as the strongest. These early Preidan groups left behind no written records, so most of the information that we have on them comes from the Piraean explorers and historians of the same era.
The Piraeans were the first to chart the coasts of today's Amathia, and they created various colonies and city-states on the coastline, interacting with the Preidan tribes, trading with them and sometimes coming into conflict with them. According to the Piraean historians, the Preidans, while barbarians, had a moderately advanced civilization for that period, with an organized system with priests, nobles, and kings, centered around temple-cities of stone and wooden settlements where the people lived. The Preidans and their religion had a sacred oral tradition and ideas of communion with the nature, so the Preidan tribes initially rejected contact with the Piraeans and their civilization, even going so far as to consider the Artiot writing system to be blasphemous, this rejection and hostility leading to occasion conflicts, but the Preidans never tried to destroy the Artiot colonies or to remove the colonists from the coastline, so through the centuries, contacts and relations between the two peoples increased.
This is when the name of "amathia" is first thought to have originated, with the Piraean using this philosophical term it to describe the natives and their refusal to understand and to adopt foreign civilization. From a Piraean perspective, the natives were better than other barbarians - but they refused to evolve, willingly choosing to remain as savages. It is thought that the various Preidan tribes, which lacked a common identity, slowly adopted the name of "Amathii" after prolonged contact with their southern neighbors, which also led to slow but profound changes in the native civilization. The Amathii-Preidan tribes adopted the Piraean alphabet and many foreign cultural customs. The distinction between the temple-cities of stone and the normal settlements was lost, replaced instead with the dava, a city-fortress that normally also contained a temple. The influence of Piraea was stronger in the south and weaker in the north, but it was the strongest influence that the region would see until the Solarian conquests.
Antiquity
Eventually, the tribal organization of the Amathii evolved into a system of alliances between various dava-states and those tribes that still refused to abandon their old ways. Various proto-states were born in the early Antiquity, as the more organized and advanced davae managed to impose their control over more territory. The most powerful davae where those near the mountainous regions, which had access to gold deposits and salt mines. From 700 to 600 BCE, those davae and their alliances managed to develop into small states and fully fledged kingdoms, beginning the era known as "the Age of the Kingdoms of Gold and Salt", the height of the Amathii-Preidan civilization.

EC integration
Politics
Amathia is a a federal semi-presidential republic, organized by the provisions of the Constitution of the Amathian Democratic Republic and of the Six Nations' Agreement.
Constituent Republics
In terms of political structuring, Amathia is using a federal system, and it is formed by six constituent republics: the Republic of Odrisia, the Republic of Preida, the Republic of Soria, the Republic of Tiria, the Republic of Tribaria and the Republic of Pocuria. These republics are known as the Republics of Amathia. Each republic has its own state constitution, and is largely autonomous in regards to its internal organization. The federal system was created in order to better deal with the cultural and religious fragmentation of the country, and in order to facilitate the equality and the rights of all the cultural and religious groups of Amathia.
Governance
The Executive Branch
The Amathian Democratic Republic is led by a six-member body which is collectively known as the Presidency of Amathia. According to the Constitution of Amathia, each of its six constituent republics has to elect a member for the Presidency once every five years. Each member of the Presidency can be chosen for a maximum of two terms. One of the members randomly becomes the chairperson unless he or she was the incumbent chairperson at the time of the election, but the chairmanship rotates every eight months, to ensure equality. The Presidency collectively serves as the head of state of Amathia, charged with safeguarding the constitution, foreign affairs, and the proper functioning of public authority. The Chairperson of the Presidency acts as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and as the Chairperson of the Supreme Council of National Defense. According to the constitution, the Presidency acts as a mediator among the state's power centers and between the state and society. The Presidency collectively nominates the prime minister after consultation with the party holding an absolute majority in Senate or, if there is no such majority, with all the parties in Senate.
Once nominated, the Prime Minister must pass a vote of confidence in the Senate.
The Legislative Branch
Foreign relations
Widely considered to be a middle power, Amathia has managed ever since the establishment of the Democratic Republic to overcome the stringent diplomatic isolation that had been caused by the Equalist Regime in its final decade of existence. Diplomacy has been one of the main areas of focus of the governments ever since the reintroduction of a democratic regime, and the country maintains a foreign policy that while being aligned with that of its allies, nevertheless maintains independent relations with other countries and power blocs throughout the world.
As a member of the Euclean Community, Amathia is generally aligned with the common EC foreign policy, and has enjoyed a very good relation with most EC members ever since the Amathian Revolution and the subsequent help that was received by the young republic from the Community. Amathia has maintained a strong pro-EC position ever since it gained the status of an associate state in 1985, and has attempted to use its influence and position in order to support other countries in Central and Southern Euclea on their paths for membership, like Piraea. Among the other members of the Community, Gaullica is considered to be Amathia's closest ally, with Gaullican help immediately after the Revolution having led to a reestablishment of the old Amathian-Gaullican special relation that had existed prior to the Great War. Good relations were also established with Caldia, due to it having hosted important groups of Amathian exiles throughout the latter half of the 20th century, including the Amathian royal family. Influenced by Euclean politics, Amathia has also tried to improve its relations with the smaller members of the Community, portraying itself as an alternative to the EC's "Big Three", and supporting proposals that would award more influence to smaller states in the Euclean Parliament.
The establishment of a pro-Eastern position has however not alienated Amathia from the wider socialist world. With an already existing basis in the efforts of reconciliation made by the Equalist Republic in its final year of existence, the country has maintained or developed good relations with several socialist states. Good relations were maintained with its northern neighbor, Champania, due to Amathia's support for its reforms, culminating with a friendship treaty signed in 1983. Good relations were also promoted with Dezevau especially with the help of the Dezevauni community in Amathia, and relations with Kirenia have been noticeably improved, with the ideological divide that led to the Kirenian-Amathian Split no longer present.
Relations with Western Euclea were however more complicated, mostly due to the large divide in sentiments towards Soravia that exist within Amathia. In the decade following the reestablishment of democracy, the country nearly made a bid to join Samorspi several times, but the level of support for such a move in the wider Amathian society was never enough so as to guarantee its success, and as Amathia became an associated state of the Euclean Community, a pro-Samorspi orientation was no longer possible. Despite that, several Amathian governments throughout the last few decades have attempted to bring the country closer to Soravia, and this has at the very least led to a normalization of the relations that had broken due to the division of Arciluco. Amathia's relations with its neighbor in Tengaria were also notably improved, especially through the mediation of the Ecumenical Patriarch, and the religious and cultural connections to the West have remained an important item on Arciluco's agenda.
Amathia's position has as such led to several situations in which it served as an intermediary between the various blocs on the continent, most importantly when it mediated the ceasefire that led to the end of the Lemovician War through the Arciluco Agreement.
Amathia is a member of the Community of Nations and member in many other notable international associations, like the International Council for Democracy, the Atomic Energy Commission, the Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs and the International Trade Organization. Culturally, it is also a founding member of the Association of Solarian Nations and the Association of Gaullophone States.

Energy
Amathia is a transit country for the transportation of energy resources between Eastern and Western Euclea, and benefits from a well developed if slightly older energy infrastructure. Its greatest energy source of Amathia however lies in its large complex of nuclear power plants. Deteriorating relations with the rest of Euclea and ideological points in the 1950's led the Equalist Republic at the time to embark on a major program of energy development with Soravian support in order to ensure the country's energy independence. The joint development of a nuclear power program was a massive investment by both states and it resulted in significant nuclear energy capabilities, with 15 nuclear power plants having been built in the country until in 1980, most of which use Generation II RBMK/RCMP reactors which were jointly developed by the two countries. While the initial aim of energy autarky was achieved, the obsessive focus on nuclear power has been a major issue for the country. 69,8% of all energy production in the country is nuclear in nature, and this has become increasingly problematic due to the state of the country's power plants, as most of them are in dire need of modernisation and of improvements in order to deal with the various flaws of such an old reactor type. Various programs aimed at modernising the reactors have so far failed due to political or economic reasons, while the latest attempt was frustrated by a massive and unprecedented corruption scandal.
The last decades have however been marked by attempts to decrease the country's reliance on nuclear power, through diversification attempts by investments into coal and hydroelectric power. While theoretical plans for a larger transition towards renewable energy have been organised in line with larger EC directives, Amathia continues to heavily lag behind other Euclean countries in such aspects, and no Amathian government as of yet has seriously committed to studying the feasibility of such a program.
From a petrochemical perspective, Amathia is an oil and gas producing country, with a production of 514,526 bbl of oil per day, but which is not enough in order to cover its own domestic demand, resulting in a need to import it, mostly from Soravia. Amathia plays an important role in the transit of pipelines between Western and Southeastern Euclea, but political influences have led to attempts to limit the country's oil and gas dependency on foreign countries and to reorient its import demands towards the EC. As a legacy of its past larger production, the country retains a higher refining capability than its domestic production, and as such the development of petrochemical products from imported materials has been developing as an industry in the past decade.
The generation and distribution of electricity in Amathia is mostly under the control of state-owned enteprises, a legacy of its Equalist past, among them Amatom, responsible for nuclear power, Hidroelectricam, for hydroelectric power, and Amelectrica in charge of the electric grid, while Petram is the state owned oil company.
Infrastructure
Due to its strategic position at the traditional junction between Eastern and Central Euclea, Amathia has consistently been an important transit country and transport for goods and people. Especially due to the massive infrastructure investments of the Equalist regime, the country benefits from a well developed if somewhat aging road network, that connects most rural areas to urban centers and the urban centers to the capital of Arciluco, up to an estimated 441,145 km of public roads. Another problem is that most of these roads are single carriageways, which has consistently been proved to be insufficient, and are not properly organized around urban centers, leading to significant traffic disruption in high traffic hours. The road system is however very well organized, ranging from national roads that connect the country's largest cities, to simple local roads between small villages. Only around half of these roads have been modernized in accordance to EC standards however, which has led to some decay among less circulated segments. The declining quality and maintenance of these roads has led to Amathia receiving EC funds for its Central Reconstruction Program for Road Infrastructure, but funding problems have been present from the start, with successive governments instead prefering to invest more money into the country's developing highway and motorway system. While a limited system existed during the Equalist times, the most important highways were build in the 1990's and 2000's, and are mostly oriented towards connecting the capital and the important port cities to the EC and other Eastern Euclean countries. An important network has as such developed, and Amathia benefits from 3900 km of such highways in use, with further development being planned especially in the country's western and southwestern regions.
Amathia also owns the fourth largest railway network in Euclea, at 17.845 km, owned and managed by the national and state-owned Central Railway Company, known for short as CFA, which is by itself divided into several autonomous companies, CFA Călători for passenger trains, CFA Marfă, for the transport of goods and freight, CFA Infrastructură, in charge of maintaining the railway infrastructure, and CFA Turism, responsible for special tourist lines. The company has been operating with loses ever since its inception, but its financial status has somewhat improved following a restructuring in 2008 and 2010. CFA is a public company but it is owned by the state, which also owns the entire railway network directly.
Despite repeated modernization attempts however, only the sections between the largest cities are considered to be up to standards, with a relatively large percentage of the total railways being inadequately connected and having to deal with voltage issues or a lack of electrification. This has contributed to a large decrease in passenger numbers in the last two decades, which has in turn exacerbated the problem, leading to a marked decay of the quality of the railway lines in rural areas especially. Old equipment also continues to be plagued with issues, despite a switch to electrical locomotives in some areas of the country. A partial privation of some areas has however been highly successful, leading to private operators such as Regiotransam developing their services in areas which the state-owned operator can not adequately cover. The biggest success of the Amathian railway system of the past decades has been the development of the high-speed Intercity and Euclocity railways, which connect Arciluco to Gaullica and to the EC highspeed railway system beyond. Plans to extend the highspeed railway to connect major Amathian cities, and the existence of a potential Arciluco-Lenovo or Arciluco-Povelia lines have been discussed and the former is in an advanced state of negotiations for a cooperative project.
Air travel is somewhat less developed in comparison to other means of travel, but Amathia has 16 international airports on its territory, and its main cities are relatively well connected to other Euclean destinations. The largest is the Arciluco International Airport "Cyriacus the Elder", and Cluzia and Acmonia have significant such airports also. All air traffic in Amathia is under the supervision of the Central Amathian Civil Aeronautical Authority. Amathia's flag carrier is the Central Company of Amathian Air Transports "TAAM", which is a state-owned enterprise, but it has been steadily losing market share to Euclean low cost carriers in the past decade.
Amathia's extensive internet and communications network was mostly built after 1980, especially in the 1990's and the early 2000's, since such investments would have been impossible under the Equalist regime. Ever since the revolution and liberalization, the Amathian internet usage has skyrocketed, and the development of an entirely new network infrastructure in those decades combined with healthy competition has resulted in Amathia having one of the best internet networks in Euclea and in the world, with unmetered high speeds, low cost, and a good broadband penetration, with extensive use of optical fiber cables. Amtelecom is the state-owned telecommunications company, but it has remained somewhat behind private offerings, with such companies controlling most of the market share, often time in agreement with thousands of micro-ISP's which lease their services through those larger companies.

Religion
Religion in Amathia
From a religious perspective, Amathia has an Episemialist majority, but also a divided religious minority that has been profoundly marked by the various historical events which influenced the country and the faith of its people. Officially, Amathia is a secular country, but the Episemialist Church is recognized by the Constitution as the "primary national religion" of the Amathian people, in one of the most controversial amendaments to the constitution, while the Amathian-rite Catholic Church has its regional religious role recognized in the Republic of Soria. Amathia has a long history of both religious conflicts and of religious tolerance, with the Edict of Cluzia in 1565 being one of the first Euclean edicts of religious tolerance ever proclaimed. Other important branches of Sotirianity, like Amendism, are reognized but have a very small presence in the country, while Neo-Amendist groups and their active missionary efforts are legally protected, but looked down upon by a large segment of the population. Badi and other Coian religions have a small presence as well, mostly among groups of Coian immigrants, and the pagan revival movement known as the Faith of the Sixteen gained the right to be officially recognized as a religion after a favorable decision by the High Court of Justice and Cassation.
The Episemialist Church is considered to be the first Sotirian Church in Amathia, being historically founded by Apostle Andrew, who stopped in Arciluco and named the first Archbishop there, before leaving on a missionary mission to the Marolevs, according to tradition. The province of Amathia developed an important Sotirian population during the final period of the Solarian Empire, as many prominent Sotirian figures were exiled in and around the province from Solaria itself. Sotirianity was then chosen as the official faith of the rump state of Arciluco by Cyriacus the Elder, but not before a final struggle between pagans and Sotirians which led to the martyrdom of Saint Aurea and the creation of the Grapevine Cross, which quickly became an important Sotirian symbol and relic. The new Empire of Arciluco then played an important role in the spreading and development of the faith, being responsible for organizing the missionary missions which converted the Tengars and many of the Marolevs, while scholars from the Arcilucan schools developed the Apisinthian and Cyrillic alphabets. Because of this, Arciluco was often considered to be the spiritual leader of the Western Euclean churches, and took a leadership role in the many theological disputes which led to the Episemialist rejection of papal authority. Through its theological schools, the city was at the forefront of Euclean religious debate, and was one of the places where the Iconoclast theology developed. While heavily marked by the Iconoclast Wars and the Realm of Thorns, the region returned to being mainly Episemialist following the end of the wars. This period however marked the beginning of the decline of Arciluco's religious authority, with its position being disputed by Tengaria and later Soravia.
Episemialism is considered by many Amathian nationalists to be at the core of the Amathian identity, with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Arciluco having traditionally been considered to be the center of Episemialism, even if its religious authority has been fractured throughout the ages. The segment of the population that belongs to the Episemialist Church is also the most actively religious, enjoying the highest rates of regular church attendance. Episemialist religious activity in Amathia is organized under the Metropolitanate of Amathia, which is an autonomous church under Arciluco. Through the Patriarch's position as Archbishop of Arciluco, the Ecumenical Patriarchate is as such often considered to be the primary Amathian church, even if its jurisdiction also extents over Piraea and the Miruvians. Due to its important role in Amathian history, the Episemialist Church has sometimes been accused of being favored by the state, as the clergy's salaries and pensions are partially paid for by the state, but the exact relation between the church and the state often depends on the exact political situation.
Due to the historical influence of the Verliquois Empire and of Gaullica, Catholicism has had a significant role in Amathia's eastern provinces. While Catholicism by itself lost a lot of ground and was nearly exterminated during the Iconoclast Wars, a portion of the orthodox Episemialists in the region of Soria, rejecting the Iconoclast authority at the time, entered into a pact with the Solarian Catholic Church, forming the Amathian Church United with Solaria, also known as the Amathian-rite Catholic Church. They recognized the authority of the Pope and conceded several theological points, but continued to use the Amathian-rite, while forming a sui iuris church in full union with the larger Solarian Catholic Church, being one of the first Western Catholic Churches to be created. Ever since, the Amathian Catholic Church, as it is also sometimes known, has played an important role in the regional identity of Soria, and was sometimes favored by Amathian monarchs, but it was often remained at odds with the Episemialists, due to the Episemialist Church viewing their allegiance as treason. This has led to many religious conflicts between the two groups, the latest being fought during the final years of the Great War, but especially in the latest decades, important steps have been taken in order to achieve reconciliation. Most Amathian Catholics belong to this Church, while a small directly Catholic minority mostly exists due to Eastern Euclean immigrant groups.
Irreligion played almost no role in Amathia during most of its history, as it was against the promotion of Episemialism and an ethnoreligious identity by the state. While some Amathian scholars and philosophers worked with such concepts, especially during the Age of Enlightenment, irreligion was shunned by Amathian society until the development of new political ideologies during the late 19th century. After the end of the Great War, the Councilist and later Equalist regimes actively promoted a policy of state atheism. While the continued existence of the Episemialist Church was permitted, it was placed under the control of the government and heavily monitored, while an active participation in the religious life was discouraged. The state controlled education greatly promoted irreligion in all its forms, while numerous propaganda campaigns against the concept of religion were regularly organized. The Amathian-rite Catholic Church was forcefully disbanded due to its perceived ties to Etruria and Gaullica, and a heavy stigma was placed upon the Episemialists, while their church was purged of Soravian and Tengarian influences, especially during the Equalist regime. This has led to the creation of a significant irreligious minority that continued to exist even after the fall of Equalism. There is however a rather stark contrast between it and the rest of the population, as the irreligious Amathians are mostly clustered in the large cities, while the rural areas are still overwhelmingly heavily religious. Political affiliation and education also have an important effect.
The exact numbers are however disputed. Irreligion still carries a great stigma with it, and as such, it is believed that many people simply mark themselves as religious during censuses due to pressure from the family and the society. Such pressure also influence the number of actively religious people, as the number of those who regularly go to church are also debated, with some regions being more religious than others. Arciluco, as the center of the country, is also often given as a clear example of this division. West Arciluco, due to its many years of Soravian rule and having escaped the persecutions of the Equalist era, remains a hotspot of active religious behavior. East Arciluco, where the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate actually lies, is however an area of irreligious concentration, due to its former status as the capital of the Council and later Equalist Republic.
