The Kingdom of Andersmeda is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Andromeda with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.818 billion Andersmedans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anderskar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.9%.

The all-consuming Andersmedan economy, worth 304 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. Average income is an impressive 108,139 Anders, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. 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 102,159^th in the world and 1,515^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
