The Farming Outpost of Jiucai F8 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.012 billion Jiucai F8ians 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 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Jiucai F8ian economy, worth 612 trillion Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,252 Rotenaplistani Trade Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 410,989 per year while the poor average 26,964, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Jiucai F8's many privately-owned prisons, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jiucai F8's national animal is the Rotenaplistani Aplix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jiucai F8 is ranked 136,533^rd in the world and 226^th in the rotenaples for Largest Populations, with 5.01 billion capita.
