The United Kingdom of Zion Imperium is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Yitzchak Winternitz III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.642 billion Zionites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swanage. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zionite economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,537 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, and directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Swanage as a backdrop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zion Imperium's national animal is the Politician, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zion Imperium is ranked 146,892nd in the world and 99th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Stationary, with 176.4261718094 days.
