The Axolotl Empire of Andrendia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Andrea Oloto VII with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.39 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, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andreopolis. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Andreian economy, worth a remarkable 1,947 trillion Bricks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 170,965 Bricks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The car industry has been kicked into one-gear, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, surveillance cameras are banned, and citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process. Crime is totally unknown. Andrendia's national animal is the Axolotl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Azaelism.

Andrendia is ranked 31,982^nd in the world and 703^rd in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 108.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
