The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 273 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.296 billion Spice Harvester 273ians 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 Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 273ian economy, worth 897 trillion spices a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,230 spices, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.
Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, and Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Spice Harvester 273.

Spice Harvester 273's national animal is the sandworm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
