The Realpolitik of York Zionia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gaius Berenson with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.107 billion York Zionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Alkmund. The average income tax rate is 3.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient York Zionian economy, worth a remarkable 3,114 trillion Kryptoads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 384,179 Kryptoads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Reddish-brown is the new black, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. York Zionia's national animal is the Kodiak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Tradition.

York Zionia is ranked 245,466th in the world and 286th in Forest for Most Extreme, scoring 10.69 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
