There are a lot of religious names that need in-game equivalents. Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, Mary, Satan/the Devil, the writers of the Gospels [Annunciations] . . . Let me know if there is an established name for any of these, but I have a few suggestions in case there isn't.

As an example of what I've done, let's take Immanuel/Emmanuel, by which Jesus [Eliyahu] is often called. Immanuel is a Hebrew [Yeudish] compound name meaning "God with us." I took the Greek equivalent of that, Meth'imon o Theos [too long], and contracted it to Imotheos. Then I Latinized it to "Imotheus." This can also be used for the philosopher Immanuel Kant, whom I'd call Imotheus Brandt. So I propose:

Mary - Stella [from her Latin title Stella Maris, Star of the Sea]

Adam - Adipursh [from a Sanskrit word for the Biblical Adam; Adam means "man" in Hebrew.]
Eve - Prahava [I took the Hebrew name for Eve, "Chavavah/Havah", and combined it with the Sanskrit word for "living"; Eve means "the living one" in Hebrew]
Garden of Eden - Garden of Idumea [The obscure Biblical place name "Edom" is often confused with Eden; Idumea is another name for Edom]

Satan - Ba'al Zabul [the reconstructed Philistine name on which Beelzebub is based]
The Devil - Farul [from the full form of the name Lucifer in Romanian, which is Luceafărul de dimineaţă]
(We could totally use more names for the devil. Maybe based on words in other languages that mean "the enemy".)

Immanuel/Emmanuel - Imotheus
Immanuel Kant - Imotheus Brandt
Kantian, Kantianism - Brandtian, Brandtianism
Partidul Naţional Ţărănesc, Confederația Noului Endralon, Kizenia și Kuzakiului

About Satan there is already: Satan = Satanail, and Satan and The Devil are not the same figures? About the name for Adam and Eve, if they are part of the Katub and for Ahmadi, Hosianist and Yeudish are the first two human being, I think their names have to be of Yeudish origin.

Does anybody know if there is an IG equivalent of William Gladstone or Gladstonian Liberalism?

I really think that you can have the honor to create something like that! You began to play a liberal party in Vanuku, it isn't? Maybe you could create a character which will be the in-game counterpart of Gladston, a contemporary Gladstone.

National Socialism was founded in the late 1920's in Dundorf as the National Socialist Movement underneath Reinhold Scharff, who I guess be the games equivalent to Adolf Hitler. Scharff never really used the title of Fuhrer however, so that's a little deviation from history. I'm still writing the history of the Dundorfian Reich and early Artanian history. I had originally worked on it with Polites and intend to continue it.

Aquinas wrote:Added "Rastafarianism: Rasezanaism" and "Haile Selassie I: Ezana Yakub" to the Index for now. Let me know if you'd like any additions/changes.

I know I'm a bit late picking up on this but could it either be changed to 'Rastafari: Rasezanaism' or 'Rastafari: Rasezanai'? As I mentioned, calling the religion Rastafarianism is offensive to adherents.
