The People's Republic of Androgyn is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.158 billion Androgynies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Epicendon. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Androgynous economy, worth 262 trillion Alexes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Average income is 63,194 Alexes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Androgyn's national animal is the Snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Androgyn is ranked 18,065^th in the world and 1,153^rd in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,095.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
