The Confederacy of Andavarast is a massive, safe nation, ruled by an albatross with a fair hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.516 billion Albatrosses 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albatross Central. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Diomedeidaean economy, worth 85.5 trillion albatrosses 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 56,401 albatrosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, polygamy is legal, it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Diomedeidaean resumés, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Andavarast's national animal is the albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Diomedeidaeism.

Andavarast is ranked 279,163^rd in the world and 6,763^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 0.55 flags saluted per person per day.
