The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 235 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.391 billion Spice Harvester 235ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Social Policy, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Defense receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The very strong Spice Harvester 235ian economy, worth 369 trillion spices a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,010 spices, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Spice Harvester 235's national animal is the sandworm.
