Personal insight: It is important to think about these various topics when making a nation, as NRP is closely tied into worldbuilding duringthe setup phase before the roleplay starts. As such, it is important to take note of other nations' religions and governing structures, and be influenced by them accordingly dependent on the physical distance between these nations. If your nation has extensive trade with another through sea-routes, that nation will also influence your nation's development over time. Thus, a revolution elsewhere with a new pioneering governing structure may influence the faith and ideals of people elsewhere.

Religion itself takes a comparable stance; nations and peoples do not live in isolation no matter how isolationist a nation may be. Religion and its practices should not be imagined without taking note of other religions in the world, most notably those close to your own in distance and those who your nation has ties with through diplomacy. Because most NRPs where religion exists allow each nation to develope their own religions, few people actually heed the fact that religions do not develope in such manners. I advice cooperation in NRPs in topics of governance and religion specifically during NS creation for increased authenticity and increased collaboration in the IC section.

Collaborative creation of religions lay the first foundations for roleplayers to later initiate collaboration in writing during the IC stage.
