== Beliefs ==
The Faith believes that The World was created by an entity known only as The Collective (or It) who gave power over The Code to the Player known as Fix. After this, The Collective wiped itself from everyone's memories and went dormant until early July 2020 when it reached out to The Prophet in a dream. The Faith is transnational, although all Members must follow The Laws of The Collective.

=== The Laws of The Collective ===

# Members of The Faith shall practice no other religion which directly contradicts the teachings of the Holy Text.
# The Faith is greater than national identity and so should be shared with the entire World.
# Members must make a pilgrimage to The Great Collectivist Church of Wakayama at least once in their lifetime.
# Members of The Faith may not bring arms against their fellow Collectivists, nor may they instigate violent actions against any player, however they may reciprocate violence which originates from another.
