The Republic of Andsed is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Grant Shalka with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.224 billion Andsedians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized 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 64.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Andsedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,080 trillion Andsoids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 173,577 Andsoids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. 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 17,976^th in the world and 2^nd in Alyr for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.18 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
