Entemology

Andonam is adopted from the English adaption of the latien word andras,meaning Men, and the south-east Asian suffix Nam, meaning Land Of. While the original name for the new nation was meant to be the Siamese-Khmer Commonwealth of Man, that name died with the disbandment of The Provisional Council of Man, the new name being adopted for its more modern-sounding tone by the Patriarchal Government on April 14, 1992.

History

Andonam is a relatively young nation on the world stage, formed in the blazing fires of a rather easy revolution known as The Rising twenty years ago.

During the 1980's, after doing all they could possibly imagine to equalize females in the Western World, the feminist organization started to work on their ultimate goal; female domination. To do so, they brought in large numbers of Femi-nazis into the nations of south-east Asia, their twisted little minds thinking they could subvert the governments and unite the state. Sure enough, the combination of a economic downturn, a massive propaganda campaign (using cash donated for "Female equality causes" from around the globe), and the sheer weight of numbers, the Femi-nazi parties won vast majorities in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, and Singapore, uniting under "mutual defense treaty" to form the Matriarchal Alliance of Indochina on March 13, 1990.

Their victory was short lived, however, as the men quickly realized what exactly was going on. As such, and underground resistance formed from the first day a Femi-Nazi was elected head of state, offically declaring itself on June 11, 1990 as the Provisional Council of Men, subsequently declaring war on the Matriarchal Alliance and begining the Rising.

The Rising(As the Andomen call it), The Third Indochina War(As the official international classification goes), or The Oppression (Stated only in female supremist circles), lasted for a period of 2 year, 4 months, and 3 days, and went through four major stages, each broken by key battles. The first stage was primarily urban, guerrilla warfare, as the PCoM had not yet organized a large enough army and lacked the proper supply base to even support one. Major campaigns took place in the suburbs of Vientiane, Bangkok, and Hanoi, all of them seeing a woeful lack of skill on the part of the Matriarchal troops, and causing large numbers of towns, villages, and even a few cities in the North-eastern half of the subcontinent, to defect to the obviously superior ground forces of the PCoM. With this massive influx of men, supplies, and industrial potential , the PCoM where able to field a large, well-equip army for the first time, meeting a similarly sized Matriarchal Force on the northern shore of Lake Toni Sap on November 3rd 1990, carrying victory in a slaughter of over twenty-thousand Matriarchal troops.

Thus began the second stage of the war, where the Matriarchs began focusing on air and naval raids to destroy Male supply lines. The PCoM had captured some aircraft and ships from defecting bases, and had some men who ether had filled the air forces and navies before the feminists took over, or had some underground training, but ultimately the Matriarchs where to carry naval and air superiority almost until the end of the war, unskilled shipyards and parts factories under PCoM control constantly being behind schedule. To compensate for this and to allow better transport potential at wars end, the PCoM ordered the creation of a Great Inland Road from their main base of operations in Attapu, down to their front line base in Lop Buri. At the moment, the majority of lands east of the river Mae Nam Nan, barring Matriarchal holdouts in the cities of Kampot and Chon Buri, had defected to the side of the PCoM, but the lands within reach of Matriarchal Bombers in the Central Thai rainforests where in danger of being lost. The Great Inland Road was ment to bring anti-air releif, along with rations and reinforcements, to the troops stationed there. The road was completed on July 18th, 1991, and after a month of preperation, the forces stationed in Lop Buri launched a full assult on Bangkok, and although casualties where higher then at Toni Sap, the captured aircraft and river gunboats eased the pain rather well, and allowed them to support uprisings of men in northern Thailand, pushing the Matriarches down to the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand.

As the third portion of the war began, it was still far from over, and the strangest battles where still to be fought. Though they where running low on land, the Matriarchs still controlled every body of salt water in the area, as well as receiving a steady stream of reinforcements from female supremeists across the globe. However, all of that would soon change when the men of the Independent Provence of Hainan, a primarily Sino island with a rather substantial navy, passed a referendum for joining the war on the side of the Provisional Council, as well as adopting many of their practices. This was a virtual godsend for the tiny, rather overpowered Phallic Fleet, who at the moment didn't control much out of sight of the shoreline. The Hainian fleet abruptly set sail from their harbors on October 2nd and met with three blockading ships at the narrowist portion of the Gulf of Tonkan, leading to a series of minor naval clashes that freed up the Gulf and the East China Sea for trade, leading to built-up exports poring out and wealth being used to fuel a war-economy boom. It also opened up the path for Chauvist reinforcements from across the world, including the now-famous and well-decorated (but not state-sanctioned) Theseus Brigade from the citizenry of Greater Macedon, who would organize and lead the Siege of Singapore starting in on January 1st and lasting a grueling 8 months.

The Siege itself signaled the begening of the last phase of the war, but was one of the least bloody battles of the entire war. This was because, like it or not, the Masculine forces took the city by siege, not by storm. While the main Matriarchal forces where kept occupied by a unstable front on the fomer Thai-Myanmar border, a compitnent naval force under the command of Hanian admiral Minh Ming-Chang (Hanian would not be offically annexed into Andonam until the war's end), along with a sizeable, well trained force of land troops and artillery made a daring journey onto the southern coast of Northern Malaysia, setting their guns to the north and to the sea, shotting down anything that came their way. Unable to risk losing their land in the north for a single island, the Matriarchal government sat on their hands while their prized client slowly withered out of food, dead woman even being eaten before the last, battered hundred surrendered their city, shipyards, and basically everything except their backs (cloths where taken). Finnaly possessing the "Gibraltar of Asia" The Provisional Council declared a massive celebration on September 1, 1992, only to have their Grand-Pa and a good majority of the Council slain when one of the Matriarchs two carriers launched a bombing run on the city the very same day. The council was disbanded by midnight that night, a rather symbolic blow at this stage, but hard on the mind none the less.

However, the short-lived victory was hollow. By now, the writing was on the wall as the so-called diversionary force started making headway on the northern front, pushing battle-weary feminist forces down to the city of Songkhla, leaving only Northern Malaysia and a tiny strip of southern Thialand under the Matriarchal Alliance's control. While their navy and airforce was as strong as ever, only losing control of a relatively small bit of water, the Matriarchy had no liquid funds left to purchase fuel, leaving their boats stranded in port. Over the course of the next month, the Masculine forces ground down the last few bits of enemy troops, the final Matriarchal army surrendering their forces in the small town of Gemes on October 13, 1992, ending the war for all practical purposes. While several nations, particularly the more feminist ones, where reluctant to recognize the new Masculine government, they where forced to when the Matriarchal Alliance officially dissolved itself, leaving them no other options.

Since then, after the Masculine government set itself up in Brotherhood and elected the war organizer Louis Knight as their Grand-Pa, they have never quite gotten out of the economy they controlled during the war. Since their planning has produced rousing economic success, they have adopted Communism as their official economic policy, with the new influx of Hainan voters after the Province's annexation in late December making a good bit of that push. The first economic plan, set up for a decade of advancement, was known as the "Inventor's Parade", a push to out-tech the compotiton, economically speaking. This was a rousing success in nearly all sectors, other then computer hardware, which proved to be impossible to push their way into. Diplomacy and foreign relations outside Chauvinistic propaganda and overtures have been spotty at best, with their only major point being that they where the first nation to recognize the new government of The Islamic Republic of Amalstan after the official declaration of the Bin Hadeen Resolution, applauding them in their male-supremacy actions in the name of Shari Law, and now do a great deal of trade business with them. Other then this, they have major trade with nations the world over, mostly in software and foodstuffs, although they export some of virtually everything they produce. Major trade partners include Prussia, Macedon, and the Normandy Republic, while Denmark is by far their smallest market, as AVEE's main rival, White Droplet, has their stronghold there.

[Andonam]

Andonam as a robust, booming economy, constantly on the assent ever since is official founding. The current GDP is 3.96 Trillion USD, and the average income per capita is 39,600 USD, although, because slavegirls are counted in this number (and all have an income of zero) the average a worker actually makes more then this. As of yet, the Masculine economy has yet to see any economic decline, due to the just polices of the state-run enterprise. The Soviet has created constigancy plans for this eventuality, although thanks to slow, steady growth business practices on the part of the government, economic bubbles would find it impossible to pop up, and recessions few, if any, and based on global market issues rather then domestic.

The economy is almost entirely a state-run enterprise, although it is far from what one might consider a centrally planned state. Instead, the federal government gives their agents relatively free reign to work within the confines of firm policy lines, stepping in whenever these lines are crossed to set the system back in order. The most stringent of these regulations are in the area of environmental protection, although these exist more for the practical purpose of protecting the ecosystem nessicery for aqua-cultural and agricultural products to thrive then any sentimental value.

The industry that most symbolizes Andonam, besides the ever-infamous slavegirl trade, is their revolutionary aqua-cultural system. Across the gulfs of Tonkan and Thailand, millions upon millions of tiny krill swim happily about in their silo-farms, each silo tended to by a small number of men trained on how to handle the algae filters (the algae is eaten as well, but usually reduced to slavegirl rations, as no amount of flavoring will make it taste like anything but the scum it is), measure trace nutrient flow, and maintain the machinery. Come harvest time, the meat from these krill is ground, pressed, and packed, and sold nearly everywhere on the planet, in almost any style of meat imaginable. It is not quite as flavorful as pork or steak, but it contains more nutrients and can be produced, processed, and shipped for nearly a quarter of the price and resources, making it a favorite meat for those on a budget. A similer situation exists with kelp, as well as small, experimental frog farms and cricket hatcheries farther inland, but with the widespread popularity of krill, and its continued success in shrinking the less-efficeant large-animal meat industry, nobody has seemed to notice.

On land, soy and myco-protein make up the major crops. While the soy is grown in a traditional farming method, myco-protein is produced by growing mushrooms in small, damp areas, using resources similar to those needed in fermenting beer. When fully grown, these mushrooms can be ground into a paste or served whole, and like krill are a much more efficent option, resource, cost, and nutrient wise, to traditional plant crops. Both are also staples on shelves across the globe, a key piece in the diet of the less-then-fortunate as well as those who simply want to save money for other means.

Other low-leval, traditional industries such as textile manufacturing and spice production fill out the base of the economy, both being more labor intensive the revolutionary sequences used in agri and aqua culture. For the more educated, however, Andonam has a vast number of profitable, large industries to go into. While leaving the less-profitable field of hardware to other nations, Andonam is one of the world's leading producers of civilian software of all types, with major labs in Brotherhood, Sinapora, and Bangkok, along with smaller, more specialized labs elsewhere. Office technologies are a big favorite, with Masculine brainchildren producing such basics as the almost omnipresent word-processor "Scribe", the graphic designer tool "Lifetouch", and one of the world most popular computer security programs, which autoscans, updates, and jumps through hoops on command "Sentinel". The other major software branch that Andonam has the controlling share is in is video games, Andonam Virtual Entertainment Enterprises (AVEE) being the world's largest and most popular video game provider, running over 50 % of the market, producing such gems as "Global Rising II", "GlitterBoy", The Alternate History Series, "Jumpman", the series and spinoff MMORPG "Chronicles of Yethtu", and "Crossover Contest Battle Royal", all played on PC, the AVEE conceal Game Fortress (I,II, or III), or the AVEE handheld Game Rebout (also, up to version three). AVEE's only real compotition comes from the gaming portion of White Droplet, who they can't quite seem to dislodge.

After creating rain forest preserves to grow and harvest the proper plants, Andonam has become a large provider of global medicines, officer cheap, relatively side-efficient free natural alternatives to many common medicines and painkillers. While not much into the electronics of medicinal science , Andonam has shown a great deal of interest in the area of genetics, having mapped the human genome and created a popular "designer babies" program, which draws and small clientele from across the globe, as well as seeing quite a bit of domestic use.

Finnaly, no talk of Masculine exports can be complete without a reference to the thriving, underground slavegirl trade. Though the government does not officially sanction this, they most certainly do nothing to stop it, and recently much "raw material" has been coming in relatively cost-free from the slums of Indostan, leading the government to be even less likely to touch the stuff. The risks are high, but so are the profits, and so people who would rather not operate under government parameters come here.

Import wise, Andonam's most important are oil and rare earth metels, resources rather uncommon in their areas. While they do posses a major oil well, it lies in territory that is rather disputed, and as such the production is shared. As such, the people of Andonam need a steady supply of oil, normally imported from their ally in Amalstan, to fuel their cars (mostly produced in the former ford factories of Singapora, although the market is nearly all domestic). Other then this, international imports are mostly in luxury items, large animal meats, and computer hardware. Andonam's trade balance, however, is fairly high and positive, so the economy is no doubt going to continue to grow.

For wealth distribution, Andonam has done well to make the Communist dream start to come true. State polices have allowed the menial works, just as important as the higher-end workers in their own way, to enjoy a higher quality of life then they would otherwise be entitled to elsewhere in the world. The more educated and richer accept this, partially because they'd rather not see a real Red Revolution, and partially because they feel it is their duty to support their brothers and create the best state possible, so as to get other nations to adopt their Chauvist ways. True equality is not acheived, however, and may never be, as the government does not insist everybody get the same, only that everybody receives what they are due.

[Andonam]

In most ways, Andonam is a very forward looking and modern state. Noblity is completely non-existent, although it is considered respectful to give the honorary "Brother" or "Comrade" to fell men. Religions of all stripes are accepted although, in line with male supremacy, humanist ideologies are the most common among the population, with Buddhism and Christianity both holding token presences. Theatrics and the cinema are both popular and respected fields, and the people are always open to new (non-feminist) ideas. However, they do have a certain... strangeness on other things. Men are not taken to physical fashion, or much clothing at all, and usually wear simple garments of cloth, and woman are usually expected to go naked, unless the weather dictates otherwise. Paintings, sculptors, ect, are considered fine works of art, so long as their is only one of them; To Andonam, Mass production is for the functional, not aesthetic.

Woman are, literally, treated like property, which they are, although this goes without saying.
