The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 7B is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.443 billion Spice Harvester 7Bians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 7Bian economy, worth 546 trillion spices a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,843 spices, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 454,084 per year while the poor average 8,301, a ratio of 54.7 to 1.
Weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, most people think algebra is something a mermaid wears, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 7B's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Spice Harvester 7B is ranked 75,223rd in the world and 123rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.9989737204 days.
