The Kingdom of Andersmeda is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Andromeda with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.762 billion Andersmedans, 2.628 billion of whom are zombies, are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anderskar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The all-consuming Andersmedan economy, worth 388 trillion Anders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,332 Anders, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andersmeda's national animal is the White tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Andersmeda is ranked 293,551^st in the world and 3,750^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
