Meteroidism

Meteoridism is the most majorly practised religion in Checkla-Ukrania. One of its main teachings is that the earth will one day collide into a fiery celestial body, and the most widely accepted interpretation of this teaching is that a meteor will one day collide with the earth, hence the name 'meteoroidism'. This collision is actually regarded as a good thing, since it is believed that this event will undo and destroy of of the mistakes that humans have made, as well as all the wrongdoings they have done to the earth. 'Meteor day' is a Meteroidistic festival which is spontaneously celebrated at the arrival of a meteor shower, and this day is regarded as a national holiday.

The collision with the fiery object is regarded as such an important event that Checkla-Ukranian scientists are deliberately trying to develop ways to speed up the process and induce the meteor explosion themselves. Scientists have been working since the founding of the nation to create a huge amount of antimatter, which will be released when there is enough to annihilate the world, but is being stored in labs for now. They are making slow progress though, and need more efficient ways to make antimatter
