The Federated Giraffe State of Giraffeton is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Professional Giraffe with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 6.666 billion Giraffetonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giraffeton City. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giraffetonian economy, worth 828 trillion Giraffereums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 124,216 Giraffereums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, retirees make up the bulk of foreign students, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Giraffeton's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Giraffeton is ranked 38,411^th in the world and 3^rd in The Giraffe Federation for Highest Average Incomes, with 124,216.82 Standard Monetary Units.
