The Setting Sun of Gio Farm 44 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.087 billion Gio Farm 44ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 44ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 141,735 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 44's national animal is the farmer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio Farm 44 is ranked 26,177th in the world and 40th in Giovanniland for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,157.17 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
