So, basically, it was founded as a way to keep out religions they don't like. And it explicitly states that it is not a religion.
I think that's a clear abuse of game mechanics.
But is it? What advantage do they derive from doing this that another realm cannot also enjoy without doing things this way? How is it exploitative? What concerns me is that another realm could do the exact same thing without *saying* that's what they're doing and it would be fine. That means that the issue isn't *what* they're doing with the game mechanics so much as the *way* they are going about it. Therefore I would hesitate to classify this as an abuse of game mechanics.
