Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of Andlatia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Him with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.492 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andrewsburg. The average income tax rate is 82%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

All guns must be registered, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and Andlatia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andlatia's national animal is the Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Argentum.

Andlatia is ranked 1,411th in 10000 Islands and 79,924th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
