The Protectorate of Spice Harvester 51 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.475 billion Spice Harvester 51ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Spice Harvester 51ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,201 trillion spices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 141,757 spices, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 437,032 per year while the poor average 35,498, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, and it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Spice Harvester 51's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spice Harvester 51 is ranked 75,184th in the world and 84th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Stationary, with 627.00002927528 days.
