The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.826 billion Giovannilandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Giovannilandian economy, worth a remarkable 7,848 trillion Abrios a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 663,702 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,946,497 per year while the poor average 9,541, a ratio of 623 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', and truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Giovanniland's national animal is the Macaw, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Iantenism.

Giovanniland is ranked 339,041st in the world and 3,692nd in the West Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 1.56 cheeks turned per day.
