The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 186 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.545 billion Spice Harvester 186ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The powerhouse Spice Harvester 186ian economy, worth 977 trillion spices 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Information Technology. 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 114,357 spices, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Spice Harvester 186 after the ban on emigration was lifted, adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, flags are commonly used as bonfire kindling, and fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Spice Harvester 186's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spice Harvester 186 is ranked 77,025^th in the world and 313^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,200.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
