The Giovanniland TopLevel Domain of GO is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.264 billion GOians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient GOian economy, worth a remarkable 5,780 trillion Gios 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. 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 amazing 204,501 Gios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, and legend has it Leader's shower singing echoes through the halls of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. GO's national animal is the Gio, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
GO is ranked 6,402nd in the world and 1st in Spear Danes for Largest Black Market, with 1,211 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
