The Imperium of Great Andora

“From Ashes We Rise”

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

The Imperium of Great Andora is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Thurik Vers Andora with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.847 billion Andorans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Phoenix City. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Andoran economy, worth a remarkable 2,920 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,311 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and it isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Andora's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cya'n Reformation.

Great Andora is ranked 5,009^th in the world and 130^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 564.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
