The Dominion of Gio Farm is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.561 billion Farmers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Farmer economy, worth a remarkable 1,751 trillion Golden Orbs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 165,884 Golden Orbs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 555,809 per year while the poor average 36,771, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.
An extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, black tea is only available on the black market, government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, and citizens must have a license to operate a computer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gio Farm is ranked 166,636th in the world and 1st in Ejeanland for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,630.96 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
