In addition to [[Tavaris]], Akronist Socialism is present in [[Ekvatora]] and [[Vesienväl]], though it does not have officially recognized status in either country. In Vesienväl, Akronism has been present since that country's civil war, when the Church responded with healthcare, food, and development aid. In exchange, the United Workers' Party permitted the Church to operate temples and recruit new members so long as it did not interfere in politics. In many of the country's particularly distant rural areas, Akronist social services cover gaps in those provided by either the state or the Vesienvällic federal government. The Church of Akrona also operates Vesienväl's only private schools.
 
In [[Ekvatora]], Akronist Socialism in many iterations has found itself on both Pro and Anti-Government lines. Akronism has existed within the country long before the rule of the Ekvatori Petrovist Socialist League '''(EPSL)''', and dates back to the mid-1700s, with the formation of the Tavari Vassal of Mulnika-Nykunia beginning the rise of Akronists in positions of power in Mulnika. During the Ekvatori Revolutionary War, Akronists were much more split on which side to support than their AsatruerUlvriktruer counterparts, with many left-wing Akronists forming Independent Partisan Units in Opposition to the policy of ''Cultural Akronism, Economic Capitalism'' put forward by the Prince of Mulnika in order to placate the Akronist Population. Following the ascendancy of the EPSL in 1962, a period of tension began between the more aggressively Secular groups of the League and the Akronist Socialists. In an effort to avoid further conflict, Direklieter Ivica Petrovich insured Freedom of Worship for Akronists in Mulnika and for AsatruersUlvriktruers in Nykunia as an enshrined part of the Ekvatori Constitution, and welcome a few Akronist Socialists in Government.
 
While these actions towards compromise were taken, in took quite a few years for the Akronists to feel a part of the new Socialist Federal Republic, due in part to the Purging of many Akronist Socialist leaders and the Expropriation of Akronist-owned companies. Under the continued rule of Petrovich, however, Akronists were eventually made to feel accepted as an integral part to Mulnika much to the passive annoyance of their Secular counterparts. Tensions lowered throughout the late 20th and early 21st Century, with Akronists being appointed to many positions of leadership in the Governing of the Southern SRs .The appointment of the Arlinthian Akronist Lejla Isaković - nominally presumed to be an Akronist Socialist - to the position of Elder acting as a notable example of how far Ekvatori Akronists have come, despite the lack of Formal Government response due to the doctrine of a lack of interference with Church affairs outside of taxation. According to sources in the Ekvatori Government, however, Direklieter Petrovich offered an informal congratulation to the Arlinthian High Priestess in gaining the seat of Anda. This progress can be attested to, in part, the ideology of Petrovism. Petrovism, while attesting to more Orthodox Marxist roots, is often sympathetic to the Theo-Socialist Theory of the coexistence of Religion and Communism, with Petrovich stating, {{quote|I rather attest to the position in which the path to Communism must be derived by each nation individually, and be dictated by the proper course for the people of that nation before we can hope to attain Global Communism.}}In contemporary Ekvatora, however, recent events have seen some Akronist Socialist opposition to the Ekvatori Government, occurring most notably in the 3/3 Student Protests in Arlinthia, where many of the protestors began taking up Theo-Socialist slogans and banners againt the Government's support of the Army of Progress.

==Other Theo-Socialist Movements ==
 
===In AsatruUlvriktru===
 
Certain groups in Asatruthe Ulvriktru religion have been referred to as somewhat Theo-Socialist in nature, however a majority of these movements branch off from Theo-Socialist beliefs at their very foundation, making their status as Theo-Socialists questionable at best. The main source for Theo-Socialist appealing policy in [[Norgsveldet]] has been put forward by moderate political groups such as the [[Asatru Democrats]] in a combination of their traditionalist agrarian beliefs with the desire for economic equality amongst the Norgsveltian Social Democratic Centre-Left. However, these parties deny themselves to be associated with the Theo-Socialist movement, with the referral to them as such being more common abroad or as a derogatory notion.
 
The Ernok Traditionalist PartyRevival, a subsection of the Workers’ National Frontier of Workers in [[Durakia]], is a much more obedient example of the ideology in the AsatruUlvriktru Religion, with certain members of the party referring to themselves as such, seeking a radical return to traditional AsatruUlvriktru social practices while maintaining the economic system of [[Durakia]]. This Ultranationist leaning ideal of Theo-Socialism mixes well with the WNF’’s tendency towards Communal Nationalism, with theErnok ETPRevival often blurring the lines between the two extremist ideologies, though the party remains a broad coalition of radicals – facilitating the growth of both movements within it.
 
In the Northern SRs of [[Ekvatora]], similar policies of coexistence as the ones present in the South have been enacted for the small AsatuUlvriktru minority in the North, however the group has a much smaller influence than the Akronist Counterparts due to both the prominence of [[Durakia|Durakan]] Secularism in the North, as well as the distrust of self-proclaimed "AsatruUlvriktruer Socialists" due to the alignment of AsatruersUlvriktruers to the Kingdom of Ekvatora during the Ekvatori Revolutionary War.
