== Preface ==
The Orthodox Faith is an originally CivEx faith inspired by its real life counterpart. Before this point there had been few directly Orthodox Faiths (barring the ROM). From a single Church, it became a major religion, outliving the religion of the Great Tree but also eventually ‘reconciling’ with the Catholic Church to provide a united front against the threats to Christendom. The two Churches remain separate but work together and share a discord, which was previously Orthodox only.{{Infobox

==Governance==
The governance of the Orthodox has varied massively. In the beginning, when it was very small in terms of manpower and churches, it was centralised under one Patriarch. As it grew whilst some Churches by necessity came under the Patriarch the branches in Piedmont and Nordran were essentially autonomous.
The theme of autonomy continued to the point now where each Church is mostly independent, with the Ecumenical Patriarch being bestowed with authority from the Council of Patriarchs. The governance is most similar to irl Orthodoxy and the Ecunmenical Council of Adina<ref name=":1" /> was the first major Synod of the Faith.
==History==
Line 66 ⟶ 70:
The new state of Diuettis was supported by the WFAI. Imperator, now a dual citizen of both countries, ensured smooth relations between Astoria and Diuettis, as the official Ambassador. By this point however, Astoria was much weakened, the Crown Princes Logan_the_Hermit, MattDB has all gone to form their own nations (Pathos and Diuettis) whilst Astoria was suffering from domestic terrorism, rise of the populist Nox, and inactivity.
Sharks began to circle and the Empire of Kano fabricated claims on Astoria, once the senate frustratedly voted to be annexed by Kano. The vote was overturned by the monarch when populist Senator Nox, tabled a motion of no-confidence in the monarch. This was vetoed yet again, but now the Senate was paralysed by political disagreement. Meanwhile the Kanoan Empire had not enforced claims, and Diuettis grew stronger from former Astorians. In turn the Astorian state now voted to join the Empire of Diuettis

==== Adinan Orthodoxy ====
The Faith vanguard arrived, with the Patriarch joining the Federation of Adina. On the 17th of July, the Faith’s arrival was heralded by the construction of St Isidore of Seville<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/cdxs10/the_holy_mission_to_adina/</ref> and a census which revealed 15% of the nation now belonged to the Orthodox Faith.
On the 17th July - 20th July the First Ecumenical Council<ref name=":1">https://docs.google.com/document/d/115udtQRVSdB9d04vycTnVEfbc6AzL05VHyR9dVKhAVE/mobilebasic</ref> was convened, confirming long-standing traditions into writing and furthermore realising the vision of an autocephalous Church.
The State of the Faith in Adina is a small, growing minority peacefully coexisting with the Indojoan majority. The Ecumenical Patriarch, ImperatorMendes in the First Federal Elections was elected Judge by a modest majority.
