The Republic of Zion Williamson is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.148 billion Zion Williamsonians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zion Williamsonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,163 trillion Basketballs 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 114,697 Basketballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader, and weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zion Williamson's national animal is the Net, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zion Williamson is ranked 43,748^th in the world and 2,720^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
