Clue #1 1/2

Okay, just a little help here. This won't cost you anything, because it's apparent you all need some coaching in riddle solving. You need to examine the clue very carefully for key words or phrases. For instance the 6th word in the clue is very significant. Also, look at words and descriptive phrases through new lenses. What might "religious, political and social" mean in another culture or time? Religious doesn't always mean "christian" or "jewish" (or even Islamic). Keep thinking - and researching. You might find some places for your next trip!!!
