The Royal Olympian Empire of Andanavia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sovereign Marché with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.036 billion Andanavians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Andanavian economy, worth 519 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 86,051 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Posters on 'Andanavian Values' advise against being proud of Andanavia, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and feeling like a winner comes at a price. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Andanavia's national animal is the Hydra, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Andanavia is ranked 163,889^th in the world and 7,310^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 83.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
