The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 183 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, ritual sacrifices, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.353 billion Spice Harvester 183ians 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.
The very strong Spice Harvester 183ian economy, worth 596 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 71,431 spices, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,310 per year while the poor average 14,096, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 183's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
