The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 177 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.381 billion Spice Harvester 177ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 177ian economy, worth 832 trillion spices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 99,294 spices, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 565,824 per year while the poor average 8,463, a ratio of 66.9 to 1.

Amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance, the economy is undergoing a traumatic transition to capitalism, the nation leads Jihad Army of the Emperor in per capita stalking, and elections have recently been reintroduced to Spice Harvester 177. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Spice Harvester 177's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spice Harvester 177 is ranked 75,451st in the world and 356th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 626.98832789388 days.
