The Immortal Empire of Zarkenis Ultima is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Enlightened Rozel Asheron with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 33.78 billion Zarkenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xevaris. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zarkenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,097 trillion Crystal Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 121,287 Crystal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a fit of passion Enlightened Rozel Asheron has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, Xevaris University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, and punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum. 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.

Zarkenis Ultima is ranked 43,374^th in the world and 3^rd in The Council of The Multiverse for Highest Average Incomes, with 121,287.74 Standard Monetary Units.
