The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 327 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.269 billion Spice Harvester 327ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Public Transport is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.
The thriving Spice Harvester 327ian economy, worth 817 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, fairly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 98,858 spices, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.
It takes all playtime for children to locate their friends among two hundred identical heads, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, the nation's girls answer "apple" when asked what makes pi, and livestock mutilations are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Spice Harvester 327's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Spice Harvester 327 is ranked 75,910th in the world and 813th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.96566124172 days.
