“Conservation of Pride”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Armed Republic of Andasai is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 559 million Andasaians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andmundo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.

The strong Andasaiany economy, worth 32.9 trillion Yaols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 58,835 Yaols, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Andasaians, and Andasai has designated Andmundo as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Andasai's national animal is the Armadillo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Andasai is ranked 161,347^th in the world and 2,978^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 18.1 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
