The Kingdom of Andersmeda is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Andromeda with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.365 billion Andersmedans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anderskar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The all-consuming Andersmedan economy, worth 381 trillion Anders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,177 Anders, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andersmeda's national animal is the White tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Andersmeda is ranked 57,922^nd in the world and 739^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 75.37 on the Human Development Index.
