The Big Bird of Gio Farm 22

“Card Farming”

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

The Big Bird of Gio Farm 22 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.008 billion Gio Farm 22ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 22ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 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, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 128,923 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

School lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, surveillance cameras are banned, immigrants who don't like the taste of Gio Farm 22ian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, and the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 22's national animal is the farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 22 is ranked 232,732^nd in the world and 209^th in Giovanniland for Most Primitive, scoring -112.1 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
