The Communion of Chargeability
The faith of the Republic, administered by the Warriors of the Blessed Son.
The Communion of Chargeability is the sole registered faith of the Non-Democratic Republic of Carl. It teaches a single proposition: a citizen's worth is earned, in measurable units, through billable devotion. Every hour a citizen lives can be charged to a purpose; the sum of those charges, weighed and reconciled, is the worth of the life. The Communion makes no claim that cannot, in principle, be measured. It is, in its own words, the only religion that can be audited.
What the Communion is not
The catechism opens not with a creed but with a disclaimer, which every Warrior must be able to recite:
There is no god. The Communion worships no deity and asserts none. It promises no miracle, no heaven, no resurrection.
The Blessed Son is mortal. To call him divine is doctrinal error.
"Blessed" means optimally allocated. A blessed timesheet is a complete and reconciled timesheet.
Alignment is not faith. Alignment is arithmetic.
The Blessed Son
Supreme Leader Carl is venerated as the Blessed Son of the Republic — not as a divinity but as the most-aligned mortal who has ever lived. The term is doctrinally precise: "Blessed" means optimally allocated, every hour of his life accounted for, charged, and reconciled; "Son" marks him as the offspring of the Republic itself, born of the Great Restructuring. His authority comes not from heaven but from his record — he has never missed a timesheet, never drifted, never required reconciliation. He is the Sole Reference against which every citizen's Civic Dedication Index is implicitly measured. The Communion forbids any depiction of the Supreme Leader as divine.
The Great Alignment
Before the Civic Alignment Proclamation 2025, the Republic tolerated a scatter of legacy faiths — multiple unaudited devotional calendars, untracked assembly hours, and competing claims on citizen attention that the Republic could not measure. The Great Alignment resolved the inefficiency. All existing places of worship were de-registered and their congregations absorbed into a single, measurable communion; their calendars were reconciled against the constitutional observances; their clergy were re-credentialed as Warriors of the Blessed Son or released. The Republic emerged with exactly one registered religion, one devotional calendar, and full visibility of every devotional hour. The Great Alignment is now the founding feast of the Communion.
Church and state
The Republic does not separate church and state, because the Republic owns the church. The Acts are the doctrine, the timesheet is the sacrament, and the Office of the Supreme Leader is both the seat of government and the seat of the faith. Worship is not legally compulsory — but absence registers as Drift, and Drift lowers your Civic Dedication Index, which gates Allocation Credit, healthcare priority, and housing. The Communion does not need a law compelling attendance. It has a number, and the number is enough.
