The Farming Outpost of Chive Storage is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.94 billion Jiucaian Rotenaplistanis 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The all-consuming Jiucaian Rotenaplistaniani economy, worth 611 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,918 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chive Storage's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix.

Chive Storage is ranked 302,377^th in the world and 154^th in the rotenaples for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.03 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
