The Small Stream of Gio Farm 38

“Card Farming”

The Small Stream of Gio Farm 38 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.071 billion Gio Farm 38ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 38ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, 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 122,816 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Gio Farm 38 City Times is sold out, and victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians. 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 38's national animal is the farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 38 is ranked 272,515^th in the world and 428^th in Giovanniland for Safest, scoring 8.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
