The Duchy of Andurien is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duke Ari Humphreys with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 29.396 billion Anduriens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jojoken. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Andurien economy, worth a remarkable 2,787 trillion eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 94,828 eagles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,296 per year while the poor average 25,214, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, nations that kill an Andurien can expect a strongly worded letter, conspiracy theorists allege Jojoken's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andurien's national animal is the branth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Andurien is ranked 115,776^th in the world and 4^th in The Reich for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 41.82 Effective Tax Rate.
