The Commonwealth of Twelve Tribes Zion is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.289 billion Twelve Tribes Zionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

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 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Twelve Tribes Zionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,232 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 119,812 Gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax Gold coins each year. 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 230,574th in the world and 13th in Ancient for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 22,764.41 Standard Monetary Units.
