The Technocratic Brazil of Gio Farm 164 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, disturbing lack of elderly people, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.369 billion Gio Farm 164ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gio Farm 164ian economy, worth 838 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, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 100,158 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 164's national animal is the farmer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gio Farm 164 is ranked 41,613^th in the world and 153^rd in Giovanniland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 172.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
