The Ελληνιστικό Βασίλειο of Nearchos is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Satrap Nearchos the Admiral with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and enforced nudity. The democratic, devout population of 3.484 billion Andarian Stellar Cretan-Greek Warriors are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Andarian Stellar Cretan-Greek Warrior economy, worth 178 trillion Tetradrachms 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 51,132 Tetradrachms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares, the early morning commute lasts into the afternoon, you can represent some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time, and men are finding 'she spots' more easily but they can't use them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nearchos's national animal is the Trout and its national religion is Pantheism.

Nearchos is ranked 78,932^nd in the world and 1^st in The Hydra Constellation for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,965.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
