The Giovanniland TopLevel Domain of GO is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.426 billion GOians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GOian economy, worth a remarkable 5,850 trillion Gios 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 205,803 Gios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, kilts and cassocks are viewed with suspicion, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. GO's national animal is the Gio, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

GO is ranked 9,024^th in the world and 1^st in Spear Danes for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 36,077.87 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
