The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 500 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory gun ownership, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.302 billion Spice Harvester 500ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 17.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Spice Harvester 500ian economy, worth 755 trillion spices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,985 spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, the state subsidizes liposuction, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 500's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spice Harvester 500 is ranked 76,378th in the world and 1,278th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.93691126012 days.
