The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 4E6 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.931 billion Spice Harvester 4E6ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 4E6ian economy, worth 539 trillion spices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 90,917 spices, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 543,069 per year while the poor average 6,935, a ratio of 78.3 to 1.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, there's never enough space in space, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and the nation's smallest sandwormball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 4E6's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spice Harvester 4E6 is ranked 58,469^th in the world and 495^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Patriotic, with 24.06 flags saluted per person per day.
