The Dominion of Giovanniland III is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.711 billion Giovannilandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Giovannilandians economy, worth 788 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 102,288 Golden Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Billions of Golden Orbs are being blown on orbital weapons development, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giovanniland III's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Giovanniland III is ranked 76,059th in the world and 1st in Pregejo de sankta georgo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
