=== Religion ===
Zeiberland is almost 70% Atheist. However, Maism and [[Thaerism]] (Thayrism) are still prevalent. However the state does not fund religion and does not make any exceptions for religion. The laws against Thaerism, which were set up in 1857 and 1916, have been loosening since the 1970s. After 1969, the practice of Thaerism became legal once again. However, in some pockets of the country, Thaerism is still socially rejected and in some towns, Thaerism prevails. All other religions are not considered socially appropriate , however, it is legal to practice a religion if it abides by all regular laws and does not disturb Atheists. Maism is the only religion that is not considered as pest. This hostility towards religion(especially Thaerism) stems from two major incidents in 1857 and 1916.
====== Alagad battle 1857 ======
In 1842, a group of 30 or so thaerists came to together to form the Taybon association, later known as TAYIRISTIR. These people were thaerist extremists who believed that the Maists were plaguing their country and that the new atheist mindset would be the downfall of Zeiberland. They were based around the Thaerist village of tulagad towards the west of Alagad. The taybon association took a violent approach to restoring thaerism. On the 19 July 1857, over a 100 tayristirs stormed the mayors office in Alagad with weapons. They burned down buildings and killed all the people who refused to join their cause. Many were killed or severely injured and on the 24 July, zeibeṣ military entered Alagad. An evacuation was called and the most tragic event took place since the end of the civil war. Over 300 civilians and military personnel were killed. They attackers were executed or sent to the maximum security prison. On the 11th of August, 1857, a law was passed preventing all thaerists from practicing their religion in public or even mention or supporting thaerists.
====== 1916 incident ======
The Taybon was abolished in 1857, however, the laws that were formed after that incident caused many thaerists across the country to be angered and the succesor of the taybon was formed with the same name. By the 1870s, The new taybon association was formed. They were based in Tulagad and Ostenvil. This time, they had a much larger following. However, they didn't wish for any bloodshed and stuck to peaceful means. In 1888, with the new democratic government, the taybon formed a new political party called the Taibon. It was a very small party and only in the 1908 election did it play a notable role. But it was growing. The government at that time wasn't happy with this. Many citizens were enraged, and to prevent things from worsening, the government tightened some anti-thaerist laws. This enraged the Thaerists across the country. They tried to start riots with their followers during the 1916 elections. However that got out of hand and the older president was killed and all the blame fell on the taibon. The party was to be dissolved and some members to be arrested. The leader of the taibon party, Kasim Volōdimir, led his remaining followers into a storming of the parliament building. Many were killed and the members of the party were either sent to prison for life or sent to work in the slums of the country. Thaerists were once again viewed negatively.
====== The curse of Alagad ======
This is the Maist tale of the fallen king who sits on the throne of Alagad. Greater Alagad was a small state that was formed in the 870s and lasted till 1572. The people of Alagad, in 1572, were suspicious of their new ruler who was called, <s><u>'''''ẹ̴̈̆̉̐́̒é̸̜̩͚͌́̃͗͜'''þ̸̧̣̬̙͂̑͑"̵̢̪̞̃̍͑̈́͠ø̶͍̦͉̞̘̂́͐ç̶̧̼̤̯͍̃͐͊̀͘å̴̱̰̿ê̶̹̺̈́͗̅̃̚''</u></s>, as he supposedly had been involved with inhuman experiments. One day, a group of young salovian men broke into the royal laboratory and found things which horrified the people of Alagad to Even the king's guards supported the public. The king was dethroned and was thrown in the prison in his own palace. A week later, the new king was crowned. However, one night, the guards the former king's cell noticed that he had vanished without a trace. A few hours later, the palace was aflame. The fires spread to nearby buildings at and people were ablaze. The next day, people were found dead in the hundreds due to an unknown disease. The water turned crimson red. The nearby vegetation turned grey. The people who fled the city lived and called this the curse of Alagada. Very few of the remaining people lived and those who did, died a few years later. When people returned to the ruined city a few weeks later, they noticed that the palace seemed untouched. The few people who stayed back and lived, claimed that they had seen the fallen god.
