The Traveling Tapir of Gio Farm 69

“Card Farming”

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

The Traveling Tapir of Gio Farm 69 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.065 billion Gio Farm 69ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 69ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,314 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 144,963 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The same 9065 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and adulthood begins with the creation of an email account. 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 69's national animal is the farm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 69 is ranked 26,630^th in the world and 24^th in Giovanniland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 237.41 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
