The Lavender Delegate of Giovanniland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni I with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.065 billion Giovannilandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannistadt. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Giovannilandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,931 trillion Golden Orbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 483,411 Golden Orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Giovannilandian ambassadors. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Giovanniland's national animal is the Hyacinth macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Giovanniland is ranked 890^th in the world and 12^th in the West Pacific for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 101.01 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
