The Empire of ZkenVeyrich is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 766 million ZkenVeyrichians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vizarkuyoj. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.6%.

The all-consuming ZkenVeyrichian economy, worth 67.6 trillion Labor Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 88,296 Labor Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,446 per year while the poor average 17,668, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.

The government is lending a hand to private industry, migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty, corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Labor Credits on liquor and tobacco, and a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZkenVeyrich's national animal is the Veyrich Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ZkenVeyrich is ranked 30,949^th in the world and 195^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,610.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
