The Republic of Deck Value is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gio the Inflator with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.461 billion Card Farmers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannilandian Inflation Central. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.
The powerhouse Card Farmer economy, worth 525 trillion banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,447 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deck Value's national animal is the cards, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Inflation.
