The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 238 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.294 billion Spice Harvester 238ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 238ian economy, worth 751 trillion spices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,625 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 452,448 per year while the poor average 10,219, a ratio of 44.3 to 1.
Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, anyone who so much as looks at Royalty without the proper amount of deference is punished, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Leader's credibility no favours, and you can be fired for dyeing grey hairs. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 238's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Spice Harvester 238 is ranked 75,661st in the world and 564th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.9767515124 days.
