The Free Land of Andygiang is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Andygiang with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.409 billion Andygiangs are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andygiang. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Andygiang economy, worth a remarkable 1,587 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 247,656 Golds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,423,386 per year while the poor average 20,699, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Andygiang's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Happiness.

Andygiang is ranked 1,858^th in the world and 1^st in San Jose for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,313.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
