The Bouncy Beach of Gio Farm 9 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.088 billion Gio Farm 9ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 9ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,200 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,089 cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 9's national animal is the farmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gio Farm 9 is ranked 35,161^st in the world and 104^th in Giovanniland for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,144.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
