The Dominion of Giovanniland II is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, enslaved workforce, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.956 billion Giovanniland IIians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.9%.

The thriving Giovanniland IIian economy, worth 577 trillion Golden Orbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,636 Golden Orbs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 247,506 per year while the poor average 15,699, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.
