Paxism is the official religion of Packilvania thus it has, by far the highest number of adherents and its over 4 times the combined number of all the other religions practiced in the country. Nevertheless, the government does allow other religions to be practiced. In some parts of the country, these religions are given special status and protection. However, Packilvanian law is very strict about religious practice in the country. It expressly forbids Paxists from committing apostasy, a crime punishable by death. Moreover, other religions are not allowed to proselytise, that means to attempt to convert other religious groups. Thus, most religious groups remain sustainable due to decent birth rates. Although in many other countries religious fervour among the youth is waning, in Packilvania the youth are the most active adherents. Academics believe that most youths especially males favour how Paxism in particular encourages marriage, procreation and patriarchal structures that benefit them. For religious minorities, adherence to their religion is a silent, but powerful form of resistance against the Sultan's government and it enables them to survive and maintain their unique heritage and identity.
