The Sancta Imperialis Foederatio of York Zionia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gaius Berenson with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 6.957 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, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Alkmund. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient York Zionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,386 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 notable. Average income is an amazing 342,965 Kryptoads, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and every street in the nation contains at least three law firms. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. 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 2,475^th in the world and 30^th in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 27,384.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
