The Corporate Market of Highchii is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Onix Group with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.082 billion Highchiians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

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 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Highchiian economy, worth a remarkable 1,644 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 163,135 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 105,552nd in the world and 4,428th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,400.98 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
