The Commonwealth of Twelve Tribes Zion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.143 billion Twelve Tribes Zionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Twelve Tribes Zionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,205 trillion Gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 118,814 Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The steaks are too high for ambassadors to butcher foreign relationships, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and the serf suggestion box would work better if more serfs were literate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twelve Tribes Zion's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Melchizedek.

Twelve Tribes Zion is ranked 17,367th in the world and 9th in Ancient for Most Stationary, with 1,716.06135310892 days.
