![[tcs.bmp | 350]] ## Overview --- The Transelman Church of Saints is a [[Hagioism|Hagioist-Fayowaist]] party that founded & governs the [[Transelmany|Transelman People’s Republic]]. Despite its name, it does not actually hold any religious authority; simply existing as a bureaucratic organ of state power, administered from the south coast in Sylens. A highly centralized institution, the Transelman Church maintains significant oversight in the affairs of its twelve constituent [[Dioceses of Transelmany|dioceses]]; each governed by a regional basilica answerable to its corresponding Church, each of whose leaders sits on the central [[Transelman Council of Saints|Council of Saints]]. ![[council_seat.bmp | 350]] ## The Green --- The sole exception to this is the Green. Nominally designated as the *Green Autonomous Diocese*, it is a formerly independent nation that peacefully joined Yemisi’s [[Hagioism|Hagioist]] state after the [[Transelman Civil War]] that it was technically a non-belligerent party to. ![[green_ad.bmp | 350]] The Green is the oldest continuously inhabited region on the continent, having existed at least 300 years before the advent of Lumens (300 BL) Today, it enjoys a high level of autonomy that has allowed it to preserve much of its ancient terrain and culture.
