The Lively Leaves of Gio Farm 70 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.541 billion Gio Farm 70ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 70ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,037 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 121,500 cards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 523,287 per year while the poor average 18,000, a ratio of 29.1 to 1.
Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. 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 70's national animal is the farm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Gio Farm 70 is ranked 86,999th in the world and 85th in Giovanniland for Most Stationary, with 526.86321836288 days.
