The Giovanniland Card Collection of Miniplenty is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Big Brother with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.255 billion Oceanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.2%.
The thriving Oceanian economy, worth 594 trillion Dollars 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. 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 impressive 113,200 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
A nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, the government merely pays lip service to Cult of the Party, and many believe that Big Brother's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miniplenty's national animal is the Watcher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Party.
Miniplenty is ranked 59,309th in the world and 1st in Nomic for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 83.78 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
