The People's Republic of Andaros is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 463 million Andarosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Andarosian economy, worth 22.4 trillion Andars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,371 Andars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Umbrellas are back in fashion, the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andaros's national animal is the Meerkat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Andaros is ranked 17,332^nd in the world and 138^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 115.12 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
