No, but the fact remains that a church based on hierarchy needs leadership, and "We've lost the old mythical land and now live in this one" naturally leads itself to "So we should write off the old land (at least in life) but live in this one as close to the old ways as possible".
Seeing as the original conversation was about people thinking some random place named "Bethlehem" or whatever is the real one, I don't see how that's relevant.
It's like they were doing a mod about post-Apocalyptic China and someone went "But Romans...!!!".
Not quite.
1. There's less Roman-themed architecture in China.
2. You would have a harder time blaming Fallout for that.
But yeah, it's silly.
Las vegas could be an land merchant republic could come from unique builds called "cassinos" that has an insane taxbase.
Merchant republics can't be inland. Hardcoded.
Yeah, it's silly.
It might be true that there aren't significant atheistic populations in America now, that could obviously change in the Apocalypse. And I'm not suggesting an atheistic "religion" per see, but a group that values Democracy and Liberty. I'm pretty sure "after the end" you'd see your fair share of "democracies" (even if succession was still feudal, they'd at least say on paper they were democracies. There's that space mod where the religions are more ideologies than anything. And I don't think that you can say that the Americanists really fill this void. Not all people would devolve into worshiping the United States, I think these sorts of people would oppose the Americanists.
Short version: They're not likely enough to be more common than vanilla Jews for Ofaloaf to put them anywhere, and he's said it wouldn't be worth the work to make just assorted courtiers.
The idea of people worshiping democracy...doesn't make much sense. It's like worshiping agriculture--not a god of agriculture, but agriculture itself.
Are we going to have a sunset invasion of sorts? I remember there being a mod similar to this that had the British returning on the East Coast.
That's this mod, and it's a sun
rise invasion since it's from the east. Brazilians also invade.
