The Federal Republic of Spice Harvester 13D is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.339 billion Spice Harvester 13Dians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Spice Harvester 13Dian economy, worth 306 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. 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 48,366 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,199 per year while the poor average 7,670, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.

Daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, billions of spices are being poured into a space program, human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Spice Harvester 13D's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spice Harvester 13D is ranked 291,711^th in the world and 1,833^rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 15.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
