The Kingdom of Union of Zion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Harleen with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.253 billion Zionis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sin City. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Zionian economy, worth a remarkable 5,340 trillion Quinns a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 309,548 Quinns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Zion's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Union of Zion is ranked 455th in the world and 1st in Unidos Brasileiros for Lowest Crime Rates, with 204.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
