The People's Republic of Transandean is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 367 million Andeaños 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Allende. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Andean economy, worth 21.6 trillion Escudoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,908 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and all facts are created equal. Crime is totally unknown. Transandean's national animal is the Tilcayo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Transandean is ranked 11,027^th in the world and 36^th in Gay for Nicest Citizens, with 29.77 average smiles per day.
