The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 114 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.581 billion Spice Harvester 114ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 114ian economy, worth 922 trillion spices a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,562 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 493,998 per year while the poor average 14,210, a ratio of 34.8 to 1.

The nation's entire cultural heritage is being auctioned off to the rich, slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, and the internal market is thriving. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 114's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spice Harvester 114 is ranked 288,312th in the world and 1,783rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
