The Allied Federated States of Tziyon is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Asher with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 882 million Tziyonim are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hatmadah. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Tziyonic economy, worth 38.8 trillion shekels a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,990 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, and President Asher has just been declared ruler of Tziyon in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tziyon's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tziyon is ranked 167,536^th in the world and 15^th in Jerusalem for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 58.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
