If this is a real problem you have, and not just a thought experiment, I think rather than burying the data on some unreliable medium, your best bet is to just pay someone to store it for you offshore, away from the dictatorship you mentioned.
There are plenty of consumer-grade cloud storage services. I’m sure there are more niche ones specifically for long-term archival as well, which would usually be cheaper per bit, per-year, if you don’t need to access the data regularly.
For a somewhat recent real-world example of hiding things in this kind of situation, maybe look at how ‘paramilitary’ people in Northern Ireland hid things by putting them in walls and then decorating the wall.
Maybe some “outlet” in your house is actually the connector to the NAS sealed into a void space?

Would you have to worry about the records of your ongoing business with these data storage providers though?

Yes that’s true. There may also be issues just with getting money out of the country to make the required payments to the storage providers. Either due to local restrictions or international sanctions.
