The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Giovanni VI with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.555 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 7,615 trillion Abrios a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 659,090 Abrios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,905,182 per year while the poor average 9,474, a ratio of 623 to 1.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. 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 Macaw, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Iantenism.

Giovanniland is ranked 928^th in the world and 7^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 133.12 flags saluted per person per day.
