“He who controls the spice controls the universe.”

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

The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 435 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.403 billion Spice Harvester 435ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 435ian economy, worth 751 trillion spices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,390 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 364,645 per year while the poor average 14,527, a ratio of 25.1 to 1.

There's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, parents are held criminally responsible for their children's crimes, and policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence'. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spice Harvester 435's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spice Harvester 435 is ranked 262,554^th in the world and 1,474^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
