Zion was a nation that declared independence from Morova in the Zionian desert in the southwest quadrant of Morova. They hoped to create a Christian multinational state under the leadership of Joshua Graham. The nation followed a tribal system of government, with Joshua Graham having been voted as War Chief of Zion by the residents of New Canaan. With the Zionian Declaration of Independence, released in a statement by Joshua Graham to Morovan Public Radio, Graham declared Zion's independence as a safe harbor for the Christian religion. Zion was essentially a protest state, protesting the atheism, anti-religious fervor, and dictatorship propagated by Morova. Zion viewed itself as A light in the darkness of the world. It hoped to provide asylum for all Christian refugees, as well use violence to purify the island of Morova from the so-called corruption of the Morovan government.

Demographics
Zion was populated by numerous racial groups, including several indigenous tribes. 12,000 Indigenous peoples populate Zion, with most of them supporting Graham's rule. Another 8,000 people are former Morovan citizens who followed Graham to Zion. There are 11,000 able-bodied people in the area willing to serve in combat.
Infrastructure
Zion has very little infrastructure. Graham's followers are strictly against the expansion of any infrastructure in the area, fearing that it would destroy the area's natural wonder. Small paved roads connect New Canaan to Morova, but few other roads exist in the area. The city has no electric grid and central businesses rely on gas generators to provide power.
Cities
The capital city of Zion is New Canaan. It is the only major city in the area, with a population of 13,000.
Military
In the 2019-2020 Morovan Conflict, Zion raised a multi-ethnic paramilitary force of 10,000 men and women who challenged the Morovan military's control in the area using the mountainous terrain. Since the fall of Morova, Zionian paramilitary forces have remained active in resisting Groffenordic military control.
