Slane Theocracy

Slane Theocracy (スレイン法国) is a human nation of the New World and one of the three major human nation neighboring Nazarick. It is a religious nation that worshiped the Six Great Gods.

Background
The doctrine of the Slane Theocracy revolves around the Six Great Gods, who appeared six centuries ago. The country is divided into six different religious sects, each with its own specialized intelligence agency. However, despite being split into different factions, the groups will still cooperate when necessary. Each sect holds respect for the six gods beyond their own, and they all acknowledge the threat of demons and other races in the world.

Culture
The Theocracy preaches human supremacy and the persecution of other lesser races. With its religion revolving around the Six Gods and their descendants, the Theocracy is effectively divided into six different religious sects, each with its own unique culture and practices. One factor all groups share is that the names of the people in the Slane Theocracy consist of given name, a baptized name and a family name.

Another central part of the Slane Theocracy's religion are the Miko Princesses, who by description are the nation's religious figures vital in performing some of their important rituals. So far there seems the number of Miko are relate to the elements, (Ex. Earth Miko, etc.). However it seems that the Miko are effectively living sacrifices. Chosen from the population with great care and scrutiny, due to the items they are given from their pedestals, which poses great risks to the user.

Foreign Relations
The Slane Theorcay is feared as one of the strongest human nations in its corner of the world. While there exists various political and cultural issues with the neighboring nations, many people see the Theocracy as a necessary evil. In an ironic twist of fate, the actions of the Theocracy have allowed the neighboring human nations time to advance into their own strong societies as they would have disappeared from history, in the face of encroachment of the more populous demi-human nations.

Re-Estize Kingdom
Religious tensions exist between the Kingdom and the Theocracy, the nations do not appear to be openly aggressive. Conflicts exists behind the scenes in cases such as espionage and small clashes between different parties among the Kingdom. Though members of the upper elite in the Kingdom had conspired with the Sunlight Scripture to assassinate Gazef Stronoff. Also Adventurer parties such as Blue Rose have been known to interfere in the Sunlight Scripture's demi-human purges.

Agrand Confederacy
Slane Theocracy's doctrine promotes discrimination and eradication of all demi-humans and non-humans. The formation and existence of a nation of demi-humans is seen as a grave threat to the supremacy of humanity. The Slane Theocracy's military has been known to wipe out entire villages of demi-humans in zealous fervor to their doctrine.

Great Tomb of Nazarick
So far no official contact has been established between the Theocracy and Nazarick, besides for one small skirmish during Nazarick's first emergence into the New World and Shalltear's clash with the Black Scripture. Should the two powers meet, it would most likely that war between the two powers would be inevitable as Nazarick is home to numerous heteromorphic and demi-human races. Should the Slane Theocracy learn of the existence of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, with its the potential as a power base for unholy creatures in forming a non-human state it would be a disaster for the human race. Some denizens of Nazarick such as Albedo believes that the Slane Theocracy is one of the greatest threats to Nazarick.
