“Gio, nickname of Giovanniland”

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

The Dominion of Gio is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 2.251 billion Gios 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannia. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gio economy, worth 165 trillion Golden Orbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 73,313 Golden Orbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, smoking is banned in public areas, and women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio's national animal is the Lavender Macaw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Gio is ranked 79,344^th in the world and 1^st in Gio for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
