Zetin [pronounced [/tseˈtin/]], officially The Holy Catholic Empire of Zetin, is a nation comprising of 6 subvisions known as tsahunen within it.

The nation is a absolute monarchy. The population is mostly employed by the public sector and in the military, with the main industries being automotive, arms manufacturing, and tobacco, Guntuon being a close 4th place.

History
The nation is predominantly populated by its native people known collectively as the Tse'tin, as well as the negemponu who have inhabited the area for thousands of years. In the past three centuries, their histories, culture and genetics began to converge to the point that modern-day what was the Negemponu, the Tsamral and the other natives are difficult to distinguish by culture. Following increased collaboration between the groups of the empire, the nation morphed and unified into a powerful empire which sought to correct the short fallings of the western model of 'State' by incorporating beliefs intrinsically endemic to Zetin. This results in the country having a precarious balance between western and eastern traditions and government of state. This broad ideology is adored in the public domain and operate under a political system established by the Zetin Council of Nations in the days of Leira, which created the first Emperor and his absolute rule.

Religion
The Zetin nation is entirely Catholic, and is the protector of the Catholic Religion in particular. All 175 million people in Zetin are Catholic by law and requirement, and the people in the entirety approve. Specifically they follow the Zetin Rite of the ZIon Catholic Church. The Zetian Rite, also known as the Zetin Rite or the Rite of Ko Tsizuun, identifies the wide range of cultural, liturgical, and canonical practices that developed in the Northern Christian Church of Ko Tsizuun. The canonical hours are very long and complicated, lasting about eight hours (longer during Great Lent) but are abridged outside of large monasteries. An diyun, a partition covered with icons, separates the area around the altar from the nave. The sign of the cross, accompanied by bowing, is made very frequently, e.g., more than a hundred times during the divine liturgy, and there is prominent veneration of icons, a general acceptance of the congregants freely moving within the church and interacting with each other, and distinctive traditions of liturgical chanting. Some traditional practices are falling out of use in modern times in sundry churches and in the diaspora, e.g., the faithful standing during services, bowing and prostrating frequently, and priests, deacons, and monastics always wearing a cassock and other clerical garb even in everyday life (monastics also sleep wearing a cassock) and not shaving or trimming their hair or beards. In addition to numerous psalms read every day, the entire psalter is read each week, and twice each week during Great Lent, and there are daily readings of other scriptures; also many hymns have quotes from, and references to, the scriptures woven into them. On the numerous fast days there is prescribed abstention from meat and dairy products, and on many fast days also from fish, wine, and the use of oil in cooking. Four fasting seasons are prescribed: Great Lent, Nativity Fast, Apostles' Fast and Dormition Fast. In addition, throughout the year most Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as Mondays in monasteries, are fast days.


 * 1) Neither "Zetin" nor "Zetian" are accepted as descriptors within the Northern Catholic Church itself, which does not identify its own, often divergent, forms of worship as a singular rite. Rather, the term "rite" was created to differentiate the practices of Zetin Catholic Churches as a distinct liturgical rite within the wider Zion Catholic Church.
