The Republic of Giogi is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 7.017 billion Giogians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Giogian economy, worth 271 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,633 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Giogi City Times is sold out, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giogi's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Giogi is ranked 231,550^th in the world and 708^th in Dimmersun for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
