Kingdom of Zilkhstan

"Namjala latak. Everything goes as we dream."

The Kingdom of Zilkhstan, known as the Land of Warriors, is said to be an invincible kingdom that once even defeated the army of the Holy Britannian Empire while they were outnumbered. It is the primary antagonist in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection.

Geography
Situated between cliffs and the sea, the country is made up of roughly 90% desert. Because of this, it has little in the way of natural resources.

The capital city of Gralbahd sits on the seaside. A temple is built into the nearby cliffside, which sits at 1000m tall. It stands among the clusters of modern building as the centerpiece of the city and towers over the densely populated areas on both sides. The city's palace, seated right on the water, is connected directly to the temple by a bridge.

The Wailing Prison is located on the Gimsula Plains, built in what was once an ancient temple housing the Aramu Gate.

The geographical real-world location of the country appears to be around Sindhe, Pakistan and Gujarat, India, and perhaps more parts of Pakistan and India. Its proximity to India explains why Rakshata mentions being familiar with the area.

History
Since its founding, Zilkhstan has been supported from behind the scenes by Farlaf, an organization that split off from the Geass Order 300 years ago. Because of this, there are systems to enter the World of C throughout the country, called Aramu Gates. One such location is beneath the Wailing Prison in the Gimsula Plains, while another is located in the temple in the capital.

Due to the country's lack of natural resources, the #1 exported commodity is its own soldiers. All over the world, Zilkhstan's soldiers have been hired as mercenaries. The strength of Zilkhstan is such that there was a time when a handful of Zilkhstan soldiers could defeat Britannian armies. In the event that the seaside capital is attacked or invaded, 12,000 armed soldiers stand ready to defend it.

Religious Institution
The Kingdom of Zilkhstan religious affairs is administered by Shamna and the country also housed the Farlaf Order an organization that once was part of the Geass Order and now serves as the main religious organization within the country. Not much is known about the religious practices of the Farlaf Order but the Citizens of Zilkhstan are shown to be extremely devout and can be seen worshiping at the direction of the Temple of Zilkhstan. And a group of worshipers can be seen lining up in procession on their way to the temple.

Government
Zilkhstan is jointly ruled by the siblings Shalio and Shamna, with Shamna handling the religious while Shalio handles the military. At first glance the situation of the country seems stable but from conversations it is revealed that the country is in a dire situation. The disappearance of war as it main economic earning was gone due to the creation of the UFN. Another reason was the influx of refugee and the lack of Energy Pack leading to General Folgnar to discuss a possible aid with another country like Indonesia only to be refused because every country now prioritize their own development. This led to the country's drastic decision to kidnap a UFN representative even risking airstrike from UFN.

According to the picture drama-after the events of the movie and the Black Knights invasion-, Kaguya Sumeragi was appointed as a temporary ruler.

Military
The Kingdom of Zilkhstan are also known as the Land of the Warrior for good reason. For centuries the Zilkhstanian Military have defeated any foes that's threatening the country even defeating the Britannian Empire once in the past while being outnumbered. Despite the country's military prowess and boasted of being to able to defeat any foes. The country's military now found itself unable to defeat their newest foes which is world peace.

The Military not also responsible for the defense of the country but also the main driver of its economy. The Kingdom is known to sell it's service to other country in the form of mercenaries to earn Capital, but due to the world currently being at peace after Zero Requiem the economy of the country fell with it. But the country's military remains a force to be reckoned with.
