The Farming Outpost of Jiucai EC is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.058 billion Jiucai ECians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Jiucai ECian economy, worth 581 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 114,908 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, they who do not work shall not eat, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai EC's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jiucai EC is ranked 185,582^nd in the world and 111^th in the rotenaples for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 225.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
