The State of Andrew Simon is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.378 billion Andrew Simonians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.
The powerhouse Andrew Simonian economy, worth 608 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 35,028 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 123,988 per year while the poor average 7,145, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Elections have been outlawed, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, surveillance cameras are banned, and Andrew Simon has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Andrew Simon's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Andrew Simon is ranked 97,943rd in the world and 6th in Funafuti for Most Beautiful Environments, with 558.93 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
