The Socialist Republic of Andaras Prime is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5.685 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the government is avowedly atheist, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Andaras Prime's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Andarii.

Andaras is a totalitaria] unitary state, in which the regional authorities that govern the many districts of the nation are simply administrative branches of the centralized government in Augustgrad. The epitome governing body is the party itself, in which it's chairman and president for life, governs with absolute and unalterable power until his death in which a new member from the party is chosen usually through unstable power struggle and murder. Each minister and member represents a department and area of government for which they run with central authority. This has created a stagnated economy and social arthritis created by a government which has massive pyramid of bureaucracy with absolute power only existing a very top concentrated in a single man.
