The Republic of Giovandolia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.018 billion Giovandolians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.6%.

The strong Giovandolian economy, worth 54.3 trillion Golden Orbs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 53,362 Golden Orbs, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', and Leader has just been declared ruler of Giovandolia in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giovandolia's national animal is the Lavender Macaw.

Giovandolia is ranked 42,059^th in the world and 62^nd in Giovanniland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 38.64 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
