The Republic of Gio21 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.573 billion Gio21ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.6%.

The strong Gio21ian economy, worth 258 trillion Gold Orbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,312 Gold Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, warning signs caution Gio21ians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Gio21ian Embarrassments, and a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio21's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gio21 is ranked 58,486^th in the world and 18^th in LunarPunk for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
