The Divine Kingdom, also known as The Mutul or The Crown is an Absolute Monarchy in Ajax ruled by the K'uhul Ajaw, Jasaw Chan K'awiil V of the Ilok'tab Dynasty. With a population of around 120 million inhabitants it is the most populous country in Oxidentale. Covering approximately 2.7 million km², it is the second largest country of its continent. It is surrounded by Sante Reze to the south-east, Kayahallpa to the south, the Makria ocean to the west, and shares maritime borders with Belfras and Ayeli to the north. The Mutul emerged as one of the world's earliest civilization, with the Archaic-Mutun and Chakb’ah peoples erecting their first cities around 3000 BC. Since then, the country was unified and fractured numerous times, with its last period of division in the 11th century. The modern era of the Mutul was also characterized by the rekindling of the conflict with the Latium, culminating with the Belfro-Mutulese war of 1911 and continuing further with the war of 1928 and the controversial participation of the Mutul to the Social War and the trade war of 1952. Nonetheless, the Divine Monarchy is now a rising economy again. Despite high disparity in its economic situations, between some extremely rich cities and ports and vast swaths of lands still considered “backwards”, the current K’uhul Ajaw, Jasaw Chan K'awiil V, continue the work of his father and grandfather to modernise and transform the kingdom into a serious player on the international scene, having to handle a very traditionalist society (in its religions and practices notably) and the needs of the nation.
