The Constitutional Republic of Andaricus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Commander Daniel Johnson with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 31.884 billion Andarians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, with Defense and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andaria City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Andaricusian economy, worth an astonishing 20,436 trillion andarian credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 640,976 andarian credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,171,336 per year while the poor average 39,117, a ratio of 106 to 1.

A formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Andaricus's national animal is the thunderbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Andaricus is ranked 316,414^th in the world and 3^rd in Former United States for Most Primitive, scoring -1869.49 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
