The Immortal Empire of Zarkenis Ultima is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Enlightened Rozel Asheron with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums.

The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 92,107 Crystal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Large sections of Zarkenis Ultima have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zarkenis Ultima's national animal is the Feral One, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Griscorean Polytheism.
