The Republic of Gio7 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.871 billion Gio7ians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gio7ian economy, worth 258 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese 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 44,064 Gold Orbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gio7's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gio7 is ranked 248,095^th in the world and 15^th in IMPERIAL WORLD for Nicest Citizens, with 1.26 average smiles per day.
