The Colony of Giova is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.378 billion Giovannians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannia. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Giovannian economy, worth 873 trillion Golden Orbs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,256 Golden Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giova's national animal is the Elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Giova is ranked 87,229th in the world and 324th in Giovanniland for Most Stationary, with 526.80564895528 days.
