The Farming Outpost of Jiucai 8A is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.076 billion Jiucaian Rotenaplistanis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jiucaian Rotenaplistaniani economy, worth 649 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. 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 an impressive 128,034 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and the military struggles with recruitment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai 8A's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jiucai 8A is ranked 158,550^th in the world and 44^th in the rotenaples for Safest, scoring 58.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
