The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 7 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.539 billion Spice Harvester 7ians 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 Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,063 trillion spices a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 124,562 spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Educators and parents alike are allowing children to view the internet again after violent videos were purged, slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spice Harvester 7's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Spice Harvester 7 is ranked 132,397th in the world and 188th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
