The Empire of Socialist Republic of Andrew is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sultan Amneal Al-Bashir II with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 26.564 billion Mamarans 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 Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Republic of Andrewian economy, worth a remarkable 9,248 trillion Soliduses a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 348,172 Soliduses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, and the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Republic of Andrew's national animal is the Phoenix and Arabian Camal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam and Eastern Orthodox.
