The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 82 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 8.429 billion Spice Harvester 82ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 82ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,186 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, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an impressive 140,819 spices, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, smiling in public is seen as criminally suspicious behaviour, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and Leader wears a chewed-up rubber chicken suit to meet foreign delegates. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 82's national animal is the sandworm.

Spice Harvester 82 is ranked 75,248th in the world and 154th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.99798066548 days.
