The Constitutional Republic of Andaricus is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Commander Daniel Johnson with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.749 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Commerce and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andaria City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Tourism.

Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, religious education is a new government priority, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Andaria City, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Andaricus's national animal is the thunderbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the andarian credit.

Andaricus is ranked 8th in Former United States and 130,931st in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -178 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
