The Big Bird of Gio Farm 22 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.041 billion Gio Farm 22ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 24.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 22ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,168 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, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 129,279 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 22's national animal is the farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 22 is ranked 280,308th in the world and 477th in Giovanniland for Safest, scoring 6.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
