The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 1A7 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.492 billion Spice Harvester 1A7ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.
The powerhouse Spice Harvester 1A7ian economy, worth 509 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 Information Technology, Soda Sales, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 78,484 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 305,047 per year while the poor average 13,812, a ratio of 22.1 to 1.
Third world countries are rich in "I Love Spice Harvester 1A7 City" t-shirts, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, and the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Spice Harvester 1A7's national animal is the sandworm, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Spice Harvester 1A7 is ranked 264,061st in the world and 1,535th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Patriotic, with 1.06 flags saluted per person per day.
