Akan-Aka's cult of personality rules the kingdom, Akanism is partly a fanatical political movement and partly a religious faith. Subjects are expected to show respect for the kings glorious ancestors on remembrance days that contain lengthy rituals that are simultaneously performed across the country. This desire for synchronized activity led to a boom in the sale of the clocks which were not previously so prevalent in the country. The Akan family (in Zowa they put the family name first) are considered holy, promoted as an unbroken royal line leading back to the very first goblin king of Zowa, Akan-Fret.
