'''Akronism''' is a [[wikipedia:monotheism|monotheistic]] religion practiced predominately in [[Tavaris]], where it developed. It is centered on the belief in and worship of Akrona, the goddess held by the faith to be the protector of all life on Urth. Adherents of Akronism belong primarily to the Church of Akrona, the first formally established organization of the Akronist faith that now operates in most countries of the globe, including directly governing Akronists in countries such as [[Packilvania]] and the [[United Socialist Provinces of Rumrari|Rumrari UnionEsteira]]. [[Iboma]] has its own separate church, the [[Akronist Church of Iboma]], which is affiliated with the Church of Akrona. Some adherents in [[Karishkanov]] and parts of [[Aponivia]] also worship outside the formal structure of the Church of Akrona. As of 2021, the Church of Akrona counted an estimated 109,389,053 members both in good standing and not in good standing across the world. Of that number, 24,426,903 members are Tavari. The figure of 24,426,903 Tavari citizens who are members of the Church is equivalent to about 45% of the population of Tavaris as of that country's most recent census estimate. Akronism remains the largest religion in Tavaris by number of worshippers, but the figure is a plurality, not a majority of Tavari citizens.
 
From 1909 until 2022, [[Metradan]] had an independent Akronist church organization known as the Church of Metradan. However, on 27 March 2022, the Church of Akrona excommunicated the entirety of the Church of Metradan, which rendered the organization cut off from the global community of Akronists. This was done in response to the events of 25 March 2022, in which Akronist agents of the private security firm [[Androcat Zandovi]] held the [[League of Novaris]] hostage in an attempt to get that body to recognize [[Acronis]] instead of [[Tavaris]] as a member. Matron Vana Dandreal said in her statement announcing the excommunication: "This is not a move that we make lightly, and it is not a move done only in response to a single incident, but in response to decades of clear defiance of the values that the Goddess Akrona laid out for us to follow." The move renders Metradani Akronists unable to access any spiritual benefits such as the blessing of weddings or funerals, and also cuts off the Church of Metradan from revenue sharing from the global Church as well as [[Crystal Hoteliers International]].
