The Free Land of Andreth is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.207 billion Andrethians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Andrethian economy, worth 195 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 60,959 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,582 per year while the poor average 15,543, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Billions of Golds are being poured into a space program, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Andreth's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Andreth is ranked 249,721^st in the world and 39^th in Beleriand for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
