The UnitarianSikhHinduBuddhist of Andromeda Islands is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its superstitious fear of technology. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 21.452 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 93%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

All weapon research has been banned, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andromeda Islands's national animal is the anteater, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the silverdinero.

Andromeda Islands is ranked 5,030th in The North Pacific and 120,220th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 6 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
