Riverianism

Riverianism is a monotheistic religion that is prominent in the PRA that is primarily based off of the belief that the rivers of the world, most especially the Amurrhine river, are messengers of god existing among humans that were created by the god of Riverianism, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, when it sacrificed itself to ensure that the Amurrhinian people and others would have permanent prosperity by the supervision of their rivers.

History
The origin of the world as described by the Riverian holy book "The Amurrhine Manifesto" is that the Flying Spaghetti Monster was born into a nothingness but quickly became bored, after 6 days as we know them it sneezed intensely which created a massive explosion that was so awesome that it created the universe. After witnessing this awesome explosion the Flying Spaghetti Monster wanted to find some food since it was quite hungry and so on the 7th day found our planet and created the ice-cream Sunday, falling asleep for the rest of the day after a sugar crash. However due to these sugar crashes the Flying Spaghetti Monster was not able to continually create ice-cream Sundays and so created life to make them for itself, however however this still didn't mean this new life could create the ice-cream Sundays and so the Flying Spaghetti Monster "lied upon the world, in a careful manner to ensure it would not harm its creations, and dug its noodly appendage into the ground so far down and for so long that although it withered away it gave the first people food for many centuries and gave all people the gift of rivers.". Due to this wording most Riverians believe the Amurrhinian people to be the aforementioned "first people" and that all of the land surrounding the Amurrhine river belongs to them, this belief was prominent among most army officers in the PRA before the conclusion of WW1 and led to many failed invasions of Eleutheria and Borogravia and Borogravia and Borogravia.

Notable Beliefs
The Riverian religion has many notable beliefs and ideas, most described in "The Amurrhine Manifesto" and previous holy books, these include:


 * The Amurrhine River must be protected and kept clean.
 * All man must be equal, for the river can give all prosperity and the river can give all death.
 * Having at least one ice-cream Sunday on a Sunday is required.
 * Having ice-cream Sundays on a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday is punishable by death.
 * Having an ice-cream Sunday on a Wednesday or on a Friday is permitted but only while walking backwards and with a "gelatin worm" in the ice-cream Sunday.
 * You cannot put the toilet paper backwards, it's just rude.
 * Respect cows, for they produce the great ice-cream Sundays.
 * Do not question the holy authority of the late Flying Spaghetti Monster.
 * Overuse/underuse commas while writing.
 * The semicolon is an abomination upon marinara.
 * Sprinkles may only be used in ice-cream Sundays when accompanied by a cherry grown in the same year.
 * The system of socialism (to those reading before 1896, don't worry about this part) is terrible and an abomination  very cool especially this Kalonip guy he might be the prophet or something in the future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 * Only sparingly buy the DLC of Paradox games when on sale, and refrain from using the Xbox PC app as much as possible.
 * Deserts contain no rivers and also nothing generally, don't go to a desert unless you have a weird looking horse-like animal (you'll know it when you see it).
 * Apostrophes (') ar'g.
 * It's pronounced "GIF" not "JIF".
 * I am tired, I will write the rest later.

Abominable Status
Borogravia views this as an abomination, as the river Kneck is viewed as the property of Nuggan, who does not tolerate false gods.
