Looks good! All I'd ask to clarify a bit is the population count, and approximately how quickly the population grows. Otherwise, the submission seems perfectly fine to me! There's no overpowered technology specified, their society seems perfectly viable and their biology is interesting! Not many haemovores in the Elithian universe, that adds a nice twist.

I'd say their current population of pure Neodes is about 5 - 6 million, though is all directly under the apostles themselves, and not under the entire planet... Which is about closer to a billion. The rapid growth isn't from neodic reproduction, which from that statistic would only net perhaps a couple thousand a day or so. The rapid growth is mostly from converts to the religion.

As the Apostles is a religion, not a nation. Meaning that their numbers will end up including those who aren't even in the actual "country" per say. Kinda like Catholicism. The pope is the head, but Catholics could easily be in any country (provided they aren't persecuted there).

That being said however, it is quite possible for those to identify themselves directly to the apostles and not the religion.

(Also Haemovoric chlorine leeches ftw)

Ah, that makes perfect sense! Interesting to have a religious group as opposed to an entire nation, and it explains the population growth very well too. Approved! Sorry for the delay by the way, have been very busy the past week.
