The Socialist Brazil of Gio Farm 169 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.104 billion Gio Farm 169ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.8%.
The powerhouse Gio Farm 169ian economy, worth 959 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. 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 118,443 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 409,148 per year while the poor average 25,076, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.
Scientists are not permitted to ask questions, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 169's national animal is the farmer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Gio Farm 169 is ranked 87,075th in the world and 162nd in Giovanniland for Most Stationary, with 526.85225309212 days.
