The People's Republic of Andrial is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Benício Luz Tavares with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.982 billion Andrialians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saupo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Andrialian economy, worth 821 trillion Risas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,371 Risas, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
Immigrant herding has become a national pastime, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andrial's national animal is the Andrialian Jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.
Andrial is ranked 58,016th in the world and 78th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,613.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
