“Card Farming”

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

The Kind Koala of Gio Farm 16 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.04 billion Gio Farm 16ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,228 trillion cards 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. 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 135,875 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

When shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 16's national animal is the farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 16 is ranked 41,575^th in the world and 136^th in Giovanniland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
