The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 6C is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.638 billion Spice Harvester 6Cians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Spice Harvester 6Cian economy, worth 446 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, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. 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 67,315 spices, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,742 per year while the poor average 14,140, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

Foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Spice Harvester 6C, the aims of top-secret Spice Harvester 6Cian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Spice Harvester 6C City make great practice for foreign snipers, and space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Spice Harvester 6C's national animal is the sandworm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Spice Harvester 6C is ranked 274,395^th in the world and 1,708^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Patriotic, with 0.64 flags saluted per person per day.
