The Republic of Andrivia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.129 billion Andrivians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vista. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Andrivian economy, worth 215 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 68,921 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-euro charge on their phone bill, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andrivia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Andrivia is ranked 284,189^th in the world and 10,826^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
