The Republic of Deck Value is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gio the Inflator with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and parental licensing program. The compassionate population of 7.671 billion Card Farmers 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giovannilandian Inflation Central. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Card Farmer economy, worth 547 trillion banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,435 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deck Value's national animal is the cards, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Inflation.

Deck Value is ranked 32,538^th in the world and 22^nd in Giovanniland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 57.4 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
