The Kingdom of Andir is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 231 million Andrishes are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The thriving Andirian economy, worth 16.3 trillion Vyndirs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 70,697 Vyndirs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,414 per year while the poor average 16,120, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

It is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, neighboring nations are tired of Andir's big fish stories, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, and eerie glow-in-the-dark cornfields give farmlands an uncanny appearance. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Andir's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Andir is ranked 79,424^th in the world and 105^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Patriotic, with 17.75 flags saluted per person per day.
