The State of Zion Home is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.69 billion Zion Homeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The powerhouse Zion Homean economy, worth 899 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 43,478 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 125,919 per year while the poor average 11,897, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Zion Home has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zion Home's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zion Home is ranked 263,044^th in the world and 7^th in Wind of Spirits for Lowest Crime Rates, with 43.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
