The Charming Cow of Gio Farm 81 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.51 billion Gio Farm 81ians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 81ian economy, worth 951 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 Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. 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 111,857 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Gio Farm 81ian roads, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 81's national animal is the farm.
Gio Farm 81 is ranked 87,009th in the world and 100th in Giovanniland for Most Stationary, with 526.86096836432 days.
