Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 380 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.45 billion Spice Harvester 380ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.8%.

The powerhouse Spice Harvester 380ian economy, worth 671 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. 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 79,521 spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of spices are spent to take high-quality photos of the Sandworm Nebula, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, constipated-looking politicians are uptight about potty mouths, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Spice Harvester 380's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spice Harvester 380 is ranked 255,361^st in the world and 1,635^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
