The Axolotl Empire of Andrendia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Andrea Oloto VII with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.269 billion Andreians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andreopolis. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Andreian economy, worth 882 trillion Bricks 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 significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 140,734 Bricks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, the official Andreian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime is totally unknown. Andrendia's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Azaelism.

Andrendia is ranked 19,404^th in the world and 479^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 284.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
