The Republic of Andarva is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Steiner Hartman with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 6.845 billion Andarvans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stadtrgipfel. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Andarvan economy, worth 565 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 82,645 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, Steiner Hartman's new socialist government gets its policy advice from teenagers, and anti-government demagogues have a devil of a time evading authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andarva's national animal is the Balugatan White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Andarva is ranked 52,985^th in the world and 2,856^th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 36 kickbacks per hour.
