The Republic of Gio22 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.682 billion Gio22ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.2%.

The strong Gio22ian economy, worth 239 trillion Gold Orbs 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. 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 65,067 Gold Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio22's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio22 is ranked 113,955^th in the world and 101^st in Empire of Love for Safest, scoring 76.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
