The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, enslaved workforce, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.33 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 6,408 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 620,388 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,558,425 per year while the poor average 8,918, a ratio of 623 to 1.

Machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend, King Giovanni VI steals from the rich and gives to the needy, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Giovanniland is ranked 2,565th in the world and 36th in the West Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 67.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
