The Secret Garden of Anderida is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Enid Spindrift with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 829 million Andred are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucidium. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Andred economy, worth 41.0 trillion Andred Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,430 Andred Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stray dogs and children root through the trash for snacks, juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anderida's national animal is the White Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anderida is ranked 305,758^th in the world and 158^th in The Wellspring for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,357.71 Standard Monetary Units.
