The Republic of Andsed is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Grant Shalka with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.008 billion Andsedians 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andsedia. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Andsedian economy, worth 503 trillion Andsoids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,290 Andsoids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime is totally unknown. Andsed's national animal is the Emerald Eyed Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Andsed is ranked 34,527^th in the world and 1^st in The Sanctum for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 75.11 Workforce Participation Rate.
