“Non est bonum pugna, sed si certandum est, vince.”

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

The Federation of Andstions is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Angela with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working population of 842 million 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andstion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Andstionsian economy, worth 96.6 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 114,758 Tions, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Casino tax breaks are even bigger than their jackpots, nudity is frowned upon, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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.

Andstions is ranked 22,981^st in the world and 1,154^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 57.56 quips per hour.
