The Dominion of Giova is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.751 billion Giovannians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannia. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giovannian economy, worth a remarkable 1,745 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. 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 136,884 Golden Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Giova is ranked 310,653^rd in the world and 1^st in United States of Brilish for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -5.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
