The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.306 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 6,376 trillion Abrios a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 618,701 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,543,308 per year while the poor average 8,894, a ratio of 623 to 1.
Much of Giovanniland's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, card collectors duel to the death, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and laughter while watching foreign diplomats disrobe tends to make diplomatic talks counterproductive. 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 Lavender Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.
Giovanniland is ranked 9,264th in the world and 145th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,902.21 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
