ground firmly. Regional co-existence of diverse religious groups in the country makes it really unique.

follow other religions since time immemorial. There is no intervention of the State in religious matters.
The Constitution of Union of Prosperia provides for freedom of religion as a fundamental right, to give to
its people the freedom of worship and religion and to outlaw discrimination on the ground of religion.
All religions are governed by their personal laws which are governing marriage, divorce, succession, etc.
Religious diversity and religious tolerance were both established in the country by law & custom.
