The Church of Akrona is the established church of the Acronian Empire, and coterminous with the Religious Government of the Acronian Empire. As the religious government of the Empire, the Church is responsible for setting and enforcing religious and moral law. Criminal law is adjudicated in courts organized and governed by The Elders. As examples, laws against murder and assault are the jurisdiction of the religious government. Additionally, the social safety net is administered by the Church, as according to Acronian jurisprudence it is considered a matter of morality. Pensions, unemployment benefits, food assistance and housing assistance are coordinated by the Church and paid for by mandatory tithes from Church members. In contrast, the Civil Government of the Acronian Empire handles temporal administration, including among other things the military, foreign relations, and enforcing laws regarding the regulation of property.
