The Democratic Brazil of Gio Farm 188 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.01 billion Gio Farm 188ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 188ian economy, worth 921 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,062 cards, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Business is banging at no-tell motels, rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 188's national animal is the farmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gio Farm 188 is ranked 87,116th in the world and 203rd in Giovanniland for Most Stationary, with 526.84783642828 days.
