The People's Union of the Zevko Mountaintop is a Gilliam Bloc single-party state situated on the peaks of Fentyr's tallest mountain range. The mountaintops reach into the clouds, creating a foggy, dark, and cold atmosphere. This is compounded by the fact that the city is mostly situated on huge floating platforms chained to the mountain itself. The upper platforms are the only platforms that regularly get direct sunlight.

Zevko has a bloody history. It used to be ruled by cannibalistic slave masters called the Tsars. The tsars killed peasants for sport, starved and froze the populace by denying the basic necessities, and turned the entire country into a tool to serve themselves and their whims. Taras Paukov himself led a massacre of a revolution and installed himself as the leader of a new country that put the needs of the masses first.

The city is the most haunted place in Fentyr. The Void often neglects to take the dead souls of his followers, and so they stay behind with nowhere left to go. Ghosts are a common occurence, and people take death relatively lightly.

Zevko is a revolutionary state, that views many other countries with suspicion and derision. It is a symbol for the disenfranchised around the world that violence can be the answer, and it encourages this view.

## Politics

Zevko is a non-democratic single party state rules by The New Radical Party of Zevko. The New Radical party takes anyone in who wishes to join and puts them to work in one of the seven departments, and members earn promotions based on merit.

The head of each department can only be chosen by the 1st director. Department directors have total control over their department's short and mid term activities. Long term direction of the country is decided in periodic meeting in which the eight directors assemble to discuss policy, funding, and matters of state. Matters are discussed until consensus is met, with the 1st director having the ultimate final say.

Upon leaving the position, the 1st director may choose any of the other seven to replace themselves as first director. should the 1st director be incapacitated before choosing a successor the directors themselves will elect a replacement with a majority vote under watch of an independent executor with the backing of the 1st director's personal guard.

### Department of Industry

The Department of Industry is the city's economic and business sector. It is in charge of everything, from manufacturing to the arts. It is lead by 8th Director Urko Zirikov-Dym. Urko leads with a fair and thoughtful hand. He invests resources into areas that are good for the economy, and has ramped up Zevko's manufacturing sector. He has also refused to cut funding to the arts or worker earnings as his predecessor did.
