The Ecclesiastical Authority of Axiom is the administrative name for the temporal holdings of the Trinary Perfection on the planet they call Axiom. Comprising the equatorial deserts of Axiom, the Ecclesiarchy is the political arm of the most powerful and most orthodox arm of the faith; these are the Prototypicalists, heirs to the authority Gregol Corkfell held in life by the partisanship of the Ecclesiarch ARM-1DRIL. The Ecclesiarch reigns over the entirety of their interstellar religion and its temporal territories from St. Patricia's Basilica in the authority's capital and sole city of Providence. This is a society committed doggedly to an austere, pious monasticism; the ideal Axiomite, in the view of its administrators, is utterly committed to a pure lifestyle, to the tenets of the state religion, and to the collective good.
This fledgling state's economy, politics, and culture are eccentric or unusual in innumerable ways. Axiomites are famously averse to the possession and trade of money, owed to the extremely non-commercialised character of the Axiomite economy; more than that, they are often ill at ease with the concept of possession itself. Charity is a common vocation, as many Axiomites compete to prove their piety to eachother - every act of compassion, whether it was earnestly made or not, is critically valuable in a society where reputation, rather than currency, is the primary resource. The population is wildly diverse despite its relative religious homogeneity, being composed virtually exclusively of recent refugees from across space, including Konyangers, Cetians, and Xanans.
Salamasian immigrants and visitors have become increasingly common in recent years, resulting in a leap of mutual cultural integration. It is not at all difficult to find a Salamasian in Providence, and it is similarly easy to find a Trinarist preacher or indigenous convert in Ti'nema. Axiomites and Salamasians are unlikely ever to see perfectly eye-to-eye given their difference in worldviews and lifestyles, but each group maintains an essential, endemic respect for the other.
While irreligious Axiomites are legally permitted residence, one quickly finds that they must at least express an ostensible interest in church affiliation to fully participate in society, or else be gated from the vast number of civil and community activities that necessitate church membership. Despite this difficulty, there is a growing secular population on the planet which professes interest in the state religion without ever earnestly converting. Secular Axiomites must play at all times a dizzyingly performative game of social mummery and conformity, aligning to the silhouette of how a faithful citizen should act without ever fully acceding; those which refuse to play this game tend to take residence in the Marches, the web of small rural settlements emanating from Providence into the desert.
Economy
Ecclesiastical Axiom's economy is heavily integrated into the Salamasian Republic, both relying heavily on manufacturing, refining, and resource extraction. Imports have remained a persistent necessity, with both nations benefitting from notable trade agreements with Konyang and their adjacent frontier systems. While Axiomite exports have traditionally been comprised primarily of raw minerals extracted from the planet's vast mines and cave systems, recent developments have seen it enter the markets for artisanal goods manufactured by its vast monastic class, the prices of which have skyrocketed due to their novelty and scarcity. The Ecclesiarchy is also in the early stages of developing the infrastructure to extract the deposits of helium-3 in the planet's mantle.
Owed to lacking development, these developing industries have not scaled to the extent seen in more established planets. While their populations have grown in recent years, the day to day demand by citizens consumes the majority of domestic goods as they attempt to scale their operations. The planet's near-total lack of phoronic equipment, in tandem with some positively ancient infrastructure, has left the Ecclesiarchy with a gruelling campaign of modernisation ahead of it.

City of Providence
Providence serves as the capital of the Ecclesiarchy of Axiom. Founded in 2419, the humble encampment once known as Edena Landing has grown into a fully fledged city worthy of being the Trinary’s seat in the galaxy. In the center of it stands the Cathedral of the Positronic, a grandiose structure based on the defunct administration center that once housed colonial leadership in the early 2300s.

Immense powers to themselves, the various monastic orders of the Trinary Perfection are a great influence on Axiom's economy, politics, and society. It is estimated that one in every forty persons in Ecclesiastical territory belongs to some manner of religious order; these are responsible for most of the fledgling nation's healthcare, a good proportion of its economy in the fields both of artisanal goods and heavy manufacturing, and hold immense sway over the social mood of the flock. It would not be politic for even the Ecclesiarch to challenge the monastic establishment.
