The Farming Outpost of Jiucai BD is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.035 billion Jiucai BDians 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, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Jiucai BDian economy, worth 678 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,849 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 500,263 per year while the poor average 25,568, a ratio of 19.6 to 1.

The new one Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars coin also makes a handy throwing-star, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, and Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai BD's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jiucai BD is ranked 30,302^nd in the world and 224^th in the rotenaples for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 27,508.31 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
