Andor

Andor, also known as Andoria, is the homeworld of the Andorian people and capital world of the Andorian Empire, one of the founding Member States of the United Federation of Planets. Andoria is a moon circling a gas giant located in the Beta Quadrant. The name of the moon in the Andorian language is Fesoan, and the capital city of the moon is Laikan. (Worlds of Deep Space Nine: "Andor: Paradigm")

In a paradigm similar to that of Earth/Terra, Andor is commonly known throughout the Federation as Andoria, while its native inhabitants tend to refer to it as Andor. In the 22nd Century, it was often refered to as Andoria by Andorian officials, however.

Andoria had a population of just under 1 billion in 2269. ("The Andorians: Among the Clans")

Continents
Andoria's surface is 35.1% landmass, divided into four continents: Issa, Ka'Thela, Tlanek and Voral. Although since Issa and Tlanek are nearly completely glacially covered, most Andorians live on Ka'Thela and Voral. These two continents are connected my a small mountainous ribbon of land known as Akalath, which houses the Tharan Mountains. ("The Andorians: Among the Clans")
