The Community of Andave is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.732 billion Andaveans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Andavean economy, worth 291 trillion New Decalums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 106,781 New Decalums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, muggers are complimented on their revolutionary spirit, terrorists are on a first name basis with the officials that stamp their passports, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Andave's national animal is the Andavean Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Andave is ranked 15,396^th in the world and 318^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 95 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
