The Constitutional Monarchy of Anderscoft is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by His Royal Majesty The King with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.476 billion Anderscoftians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nye Sør Trondheim. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Anderscoftian economy, worth a remarkable 6,861 trillion Ander kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,409 Ander kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime is totally unknown. Anderscoft's national animal is the wandering albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Anderscoft is ranked 2,241^st in the world and 11^th in NationStates for Safest, scoring 143.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
