Pavlovism

Summary
A very tolerant, folk based religion in Wales, the Hand of Pavlovich, or simply Pavlovism is a monotheistic religion following the deity "Pavlovich." Followers believe that the deity Pavlovich gifted the population with companions, mainly dogs, for the well being and survival of the population. All families are required to have one pet (preferably dogs.) Pets are treated with the most respect and neglect to the dog is neglect to the Religion. Pets are to be buried in a similar ritual to humans. The followers believe that you have a month after the passing of a pet to gain another. If an attack is made on dogs by another state or person, he is considered to be at war with the religion.

Burial Practices
The followers of Pavlovism believe that Companions have the right to a burial equal to a human. Both burials of humans and pets are to be rested in a coffin and completely silent. Burial times are at sundown and believed to be the time were Pavlovich is closest to the Mortal Plain. Pavlovism states that the Mortal Plain is where humans are and Pavlovich himself lies on a plain above the Mortal world, were the afterlife "Nebesa" or heaven is.

Practices
Followers of Pavlovism see non-followers slightly below themselves, but there is no prejudice against non-followers. Followers seek to gain more followers by conversion but most believers do not actively convert people. Praying is common for followers and usually involves praying for the following A. Good harvest B. Good outcome of Election or War C. Well-being of family and more. Pavlovism believes in the well-being of the family and supports all sexualities except beastiality. Pavlovism believes that beastiality is the highest disrespect to Pavlovich himself and is worthy of death Penalty. Killing and murder of dogs and cats is considered worthy of a death penalty and is just as bad as beastiality. Deliberately killing a dog in the attempt to injure the state or religion is worthy of a "Sobachiya Vojna" or dog war. Comparable to a less extreme jihad or crusade. To properly worship Pavlovich there needs to be a symbol to worship and a box for the deity to take sacrifice from. Its important to make this out of neatly crafted stone brick and if in a city or town would be better in a building like a church. The box can be located in front of the symbol, or can be placed in a basement or anywhere below it. Though if you are on the road, or it is just before battle/war you can make a basic, wooden symbol with a box buried underneath. The sacrifice can be any meat including rotten flesh but is preferred to be cooked, bones are also welcomed.

History
Pavlovism started in Kolossyisk under Kingdom of Kolossyisk. The Followers believe that the deity Pavlovich gifted the population with pets. Cats are seen as slightly lesser than dogs, but are more mellow of the two. Pavlovism states that Pavlovich gave the populous pets so that they could become better hunting and have companions when needed. Dogs are bred for a mix of good companionship (friendliness) and good hunting. (edited)

Dimensions
The End was Pavlovich's first attempt at civilization, as evident by the endermen, it completely failed. Since no one has been to the end, the Dragon is a fabled myth not confirmed by any human eye. The end gateways were Pavlovich's offering so they could explore his failed world. This is also not confirmed.

The Nether was Pavlovich's third attempt at civilization, which succeeded along with the Overworld. He attempted to make their civilization completely different with their world being a hazy mist of red and black. The Pigmen and Piglins are considered brothers to the humans, while whiter skeletons remain as a balance to power similar to the mobs of the overworld (edited)

Last Era / Migration Theory
Some foreign species invaded Jagdas, and forced the local population to flee/migrate. Followers of Pavlovich explain it as a "Divine Intervention" by Pavlovich himself. They say that he came down from the Immortal Plain, with his superior species of human, to punish Jagdas for mistreatment of pets. Fearing punishment, the Kingdom of Kolossyisk told its people to migrate away from the lands of Jagdas, when forming a new nation in the lands of Wales had a brief power struggle. The minor tribe of "Naverechny" or "Naverechniya" in native language, decided to form the government into an aristocracy and general republic.
