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. 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 bridge.

History
Since its founding, Zilkhstan has been supported from behind the scenes by the Geass Order. Because of this, there are systems to enter the World of C throughout the country, called Gates of Alam. One such location is beneath the Great Prison of Sorrow in the Gimsurat Flats.

Due to the country's lack of natural resources, the #1 exported commondity is their 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.

Government
Zilkhstan is jointly ruled by the siblings Shalio and Shamna, with Shamna handling the politics while Shalio handles the military.
