The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 338 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.314 billion Spice Harvester 338ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 338ian economy, worth 746 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 black market in Retail, Gambling, 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 89,757 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 371,430 per year while the poor average 14,240, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.
Depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, bills about shades of lipstick are frequently introduced in the nation's legislature, foreign governments regularly accuse the Spice Harvester 338ian military of war crimes, and families are only permitted to have one child. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 338's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Spice Harvester 338 is ranked 75,933rd in the world and 833rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.9643209648 days.
