The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 35 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.476 billion Spice Harvester 35ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 35ian economy, worth 768 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. 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 90,698 spices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and the Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United Jihad Army Of The Emperor Games. Crime is pervasive. Spice Harvester 35's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Spice Harvester 35 is ranked 75,152nd in the world and 53rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 627.00302232892 days.
