The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 5.351 billion Andarian Stellar Crusaders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jaffa-Ascalon. The average income tax rate is 50.4%.

The very strong Andarian Stellar Crusader economy, worth 315 trillion Dinars a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,929 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
