The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 198 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.665 billion Spice Harvester 198ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 198ian economy, worth 960 trillion spices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,871 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 541,409 per year while the poor average 13,054, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

GP clinics are inundated by patients requesting prescriptions for alcohol, paraplegics are told to walk it off, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, and new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Spice Harvester 198's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spice Harvester 198 is ranked 72,569^th in the world and 422^nd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,376.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
