The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.182 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 6,235 trillion Abrios a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 612,390 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,486,751 per year while the poor average 8,803, a ratio of 623 to 1.

Factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. 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 Lavender Macaw, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Giovanniland is ranked 294,308th in the world and 3,908th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
