The Republic of Andermatt is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.185 billion Andermattians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Andermattian economy, worth 145 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 123,077 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Andermattian democracy, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and there are increasing complaints that male AI assistants have aggressive voices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andermatt's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Andermatt is ranked 47,909^th in the world and 52^nd in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,267.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
