“Savagery and Brilliance”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Giovenith is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Antoinette D'Nellee with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.508 billion Giovenithians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jensinhai. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Giovenithian economy, worth a remarkable 2,483 trillion Miins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,687 Miins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giovenith's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Giovenith is ranked 254,487^th in the world and 4,457^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,177.31 Standard Monetary Units.
