The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.232 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 6,293 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 615,049 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,510,582 per year while the poor average 8,841, a ratio of 623 to 1.

University graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, hazmat suits are a common Giovannilandian garb, 9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, and Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer. 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 288,941st in the world and 3,822nd in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -15.04 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
