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

The Republic of Deck Value is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Gio the Inflator with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 7.665 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannilandian Inflation Central. The average income tax rate is 42.5%.

The powerhouse Card Farmer economy, worth 543 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 notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,851 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. 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.

Deck Value is ranked 78,702^nd in the world and 384^th in Giovanniland for Most Corrupt Governments, with 21.1 kickbacks per hour.
