The Farming Outpost of Jiucai A8 is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.017 billion Jiucai A8ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Jiucai A8ian economy, worth 704 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,417 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 456,754 per year while the poor average 32,523, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, the statue in the Dax Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai A8's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jiucai A8 is ranked 41,332^nd in the world and 71^st in the rotenaples for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,229.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
