Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Constitutional Monarchy of Anderscoft is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by His Royal Majesty The King with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.073 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Photographers have to apply for a license to photograph His Royal Majesty The King, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anderscoft's national animal is the wandering albatross, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ander krona.

Anderscoft is ranked 178th in NationStates and 91,382nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
