The Federation of Andstions is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Angela Schneider with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.299 billion Andstionsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andstion. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Andstionsian economy, worth 560 trillion Tions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 169,946 Tions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, out-of-work actors say they can't complain, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andstions's national animal is the Black Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Andstions is ranked 179,419^th in the world and 4,500^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 553.71 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
