The Gio of GiovanniCards is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gio the Card Farmer with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.531 billion Card Farmers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Card Cathedral. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Card Farmer economy, worth a remarkable 1,454 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, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 152,644 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GiovanniCards's national animal is the Farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Card Farming.
GiovanniCards is ranked 251,738th in the world and 548th in Giovanniland for Most Stationary, with 18.72410607212 days.
