The Heroic Heron of Gio Farm 99 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.744 billion Gio Farm 99ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gio Farm 99ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,077 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 123,202 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio Farm 99's national animal is the farm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gio Farm 99 is ranked 35,276^th in the world and 178^th in Giovanniland for Most Corrupt Governments, with 61.72 kickbacks per hour.
