The Farming Outpost of Jiucai A is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.721 billion Jiucaian Rotenaplistanis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Jiucaian Rotenaplistaniani economy, worth 752 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip 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 an impressive 131,508 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai A's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jiucai A is ranked 126,596^th in the world and 63^rd in the rotenaples for Largest Populations, with 5.72 billion capita.
