The Farming Outpost of Jiucai 86 is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.051 billion Jiucaian Rotenaplistanis 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.4%.

The all-consuming Jiucaian Rotenaplistaniani economy, worth 579 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,635 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,922 per year while the poor average 31,114, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai 86's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jiucai 86 is ranked 135,669^th in the world and 128^th in the rotenaples for Largest Populations, with 5.05 billion capita.
