The Languid Lizard of Gio Farm 83

“Card Farming”

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

The Languid Lizard of Gio Farm 83 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.639 billion Gio Farm 83ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 83ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,108 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, 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 128,316 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,854 per year while the poor average 35,749, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

The latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, builders across Gio Farm 83 are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 83's national animal is the farm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gio Farm 83 is ranked 162,683^rd in the world and 206^th in Giovanniland for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 417.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
