The Most Serene Republic of Anderida is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 709 million Andred are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucidium. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Andred economy, worth 28.6 trillion Andred Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 40,395 Andred Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Andred refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anderida's national animal is the White Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Anderida is ranked 30,894^th in the world and 37^th in The Wellspring for Most Cultured, scoring 79 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
