The Republic of Giv-1 is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Death's-head hawkmoth population. The quiet, industrious population of 899 million Giv-1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The Giv-1ian economy, worth 37.5 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,734 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giv-1's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth.

Giv-1 is ranked 215,877^th in the world and 1^st in Giverny for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
