The Democratic Brazil of Gio Farm 178 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.169 billion Gio Farm 178ians 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 Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 178ian economy, worth 834 trillion cards a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,191 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, women across the country are tying the knot, troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 178's national animal is the farmer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gio Farm 178 is ranked 69,153^rd in the world and 287^th in Giovanniland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
