The Empire of Gio5 is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 10.873 billion Gio5ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio5ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion Gold Orbs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,646 Gold Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio5's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gio5 is ranked 289,877^th in the world and 612^th in Giovanniland for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
