The Widespread Waters of Gio Farm 64 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.771 billion Gio Farm 64ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 64ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,049 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, 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 119,674 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 64's national animal is the farm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 64 is ranked 136,520th in the world and 160th in Giovanniland for Safest, scoring 65.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
