The Squatchy Card Czar of Giovanniland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Giovanni I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 2.561 billion Giovannilandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannistadt. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giovannilandian economy, worth 659 trillion Golden Orbs 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 Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. 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 amazing 257,465 Golden Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, terrified neighbors cower behind concertina wire and machine gun nests, and hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Giovanniland's national animal is the Sasquatch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Giovanniland is ranked 220,693^rd in the world and 5,846^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -224.57 on the Hayek Index.
