Zionists (Ethnic Group)

The Zionists are an ethnic group which rose to prominence in the city of Israel. They are responsible for it's eventual collapse and now inhabit various regions as diaspora. The largest group currently reside in the Pacific island known as New Zion.

History within Israel
The Zionists are Orthodox Jews who oppose the secular nature of Israel's government. They lived in isolated communities within the small village during its early days and began to develop their own culture and traditions. They experienced massive growth after Israel joined the Roman Empire, as many Jews resented the government for joining the same nation as Palestine. Zionist politicians gained more power as more people began to see the ineptitude of the current Israeli government. After the renaming of Israel to Jerusalem, Zionists in government organized a coup in order to overthrow the government. The coup was unsuccessful and the Zionists were forced to flee Israel, however not soon after the government crumbled as the population of Israel dwindled.

Migration to the Pacific and Founding of New Zion
Several prominent Zionist leaders knew their lives were in danger should they ever settle down in a known area, as the Israeli government had mobilized Mossad to track them down. Therefore, they decided to settle on a secluded island in the Pacific ocean. The settlement, dubbed New Zion, is now home to the majority of the Zionist population.

Industrial Revolution
The Zionists of New Zion have recently entered a development and research partnership with the town of Genesis I. With this partnership the leadership of New Zion hope to create an industrial center in New Zion and restructure the economy to focus on manufacturing and farming instead of the traditional mining economy of the Zionists.
