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

The Loud Lightning of Gio Farm 11 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.032 billion Gio Farm 11ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 62.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 11ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,766 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ill and injured visitors in Gio Farm 11 have to walk it off until they return home, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, and the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Gio Farm 11's mid-life crisis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 11's national animal is the farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 11 is ranked 45,424^th in the world and 167^th in Giovanniland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
