The Empire of Gio2 is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 10.58 billion Gio2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Gio2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,599 trillion Gold Orbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,152 Gold Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, there is one competing standard, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio2's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Gio2 is ranked 12,264th in the world and 132nd in Giovanniland for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.23 years.
