The People's Republic of Andaros is a huge, safe nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 325 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 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Andarosian economy, worth 16.2 trillion Andars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,839 Andars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little 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 99,949^th in the world and 493^rd in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
