The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.573 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 7,640 trillion Abrios a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 660,161 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,914,775 per year while the poor average 9,490, a ratio of 623 to 1.
The nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. 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 Macaw, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Iantenism.
Giovanniland is ranked 290,498th in the world and 3,673rd in the West Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 62.91 milliStalins.
