The Corporate Market of Highchii is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Onix Group with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.047 billion Highchiians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cycast Bay. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Highchiian economy, worth a remarkable 1,656 trillion BITS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 164,884 BITS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Highchii's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult of the Silhouette.
Highchii is ranked 42,261st in the world and 2,120th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 713.8 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
