The Kingdom of Giovanniland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Giovanni I with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.976 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, Education, and Industry. 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 5,019 trillion Golden Orbs a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 559,202 Golden Orbs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,010,217 per year while the poor average 8,039, a ratio of 623 to 1.

Stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Giovanniland is ranked 287,075th in the world and 3,881st in the West Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 0.16 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
