The Socialist Brazil of Gio Farm 171 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.227 billion Gio Farm 171ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.4%.
The all-consuming Gio Farm 171ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,074 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, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 130,593 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 171's national animal is the farmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gio Farm 171 is ranked 37,002nd in the world and 101st in Giovanniland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
