The Cards of Gio Farm is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.757 billion Farmers 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 Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Farmer economy, worth a remarkable 1,318 trillion Golden Orbs 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, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, 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 150,570 Golden Orbs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 648,487 per year while the poor average 22,306, a ratio of 29.1 to 1.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm is ranked 256,299th in the world and 1st in Ejeanland for Most Stationary, with 16.80215591328 days.
