List of conspiracy theories

This is a list of conspiracy theories of noteworthiness. Many conspiracy theories relate to various national or international government plots and stances towards historical or geographic events that are typically regarded as untrue or unlikely. Conspiracy theories usually deny consensus or cannot be proven using the historical or scientific method. Principally, conspiracy theories are not automatically false but lack enough accountable proof to be regarded as true. Psychologists usually attribute belief in conspiracy theories and finding a conspiracy where there is none to a number of psychopathological conditions such as paranoia, schizotypy, narcissism, and insecure attachment, or to a form of cognitive bias called "illusory pattern perception". However, the current scientific consensus holds that most conspiracy theorists are not pathological, precisely because their beliefs ultimately rely on cognitive tendencies that are neurologically hardwired in the human species and probably have deep evolutionary origins, including natural inclinations towards anxiety and agency detection.

Great ditch
After multiple discoveries of large holes dotted along the northern regions of Skephon by archeologists in the 1870's, many specialists claimed they were the markings of a long pit designed by an ancient civilization to stop any invaders from crossing into north Skephon. While it was later proved to be inaccurate and was most likely a gepgraphical anomaly, there are still some who believe the original interpretation. Recent theories believe the ditch was not a tool of defense but is instead the ancient markings of a ley line and are believed to be what remains of a continental network of lines and markings showing the flow of energies within Skephon and the rest of the old world.

Watan made the moon
During the Watanese age of enlightenment in the 15th century, Astronomer Erasmo Furtado, famous for his provision of the theory that the earth revolves around the sun instead of the traditional theory of an earth in the center of the universe, made numerous documentations of the lunar satellite of Jove. These documentations, consisting prominantly of sketches of both hemispheres of the moon, were the first of their kind and the most detailed representations of Jove. Due to the abundance of documentation about Jove and Luna following the Watanese age of enlightenment, theories have sprouted under the belief that Jove is not a natural satellite, but instead a man made construct created by Watanese engineers who successfully launched an object into space through the use of the volcanoes located in the Coval Islands. While this original theory has been all but debunked by in depth studies of Jove in the 20th century, future conspiracy theories instead claim the moon alongside Luna is not the Jove as documented by Erasmo but is instead a former rouge planet that intercepted the Jovic satellite sometime during the 18th century after the 1750 Queluz Earthquake, where it is presumed documents relating to the loss, reobtainment and later dismantlement of the satellite were lost. Conclusions of the theory claim the scrap that made the satellite was later sold to Ventora for profit.

Edury doesn't exist
Stemming from an erroneous geopolitical textbook published in the USR, the conspiracy arose that Edury did not exist. The country was mistakenly labelled as an extension of Gladomyr. Many youths across the globe had used the textbook in their education due to the availability of the text, leading to many people to vehemently deny the existence of such a state. This conspiracy has had a small impact on tourism in Edury and a small online campaign was launched in 2018 to attempt to dispel theories which were attributed to meddling by the Riyudic deep state in online conspiracy forums.

Global deep state of Riyude
Following the growth of international infleunce by Riyude after the conclusion of the Third World War, multiple modern institutions and international and national organizations have been heavily influenced by the presence and activity of Riyude. This mass growth of activity and alignment towards Riyude has led to theories pertaining to an international deep state government run by Riyude and their leader, Litya IV. This theory has only been further exacerbated by the numerous international interventions by Riyude, recently their intervention in the Agar civil war, which some theories believe is a collective rebellion against the Riyude state and their influence.
