The Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes or Indo-Anagonian Empire, also know as the Dual Empire, is an imperial union between the crowns of the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes in Terra Nova and the sovereignty of Anagonia in Tyrrhenia. The union was a result of the Imperial and Confederacy Compromise of 2010, under which the economic, military, and demographic total population of both sovereignties are shared under one union of a Dual-Imperial system (Dual-Empire and/or or Dual-Monarchy).

The general economic policy of the current ruling government is guided by the regulatory market principles of the social market economy. Ever since its unification in 1987, the Empire's economic policy has been based on the concept of the social market economy (Pasar Ekonomi Sosial). The central idea of this concept is to maintain the mechanisms of the free market while simultaneously ensuring social equity.

---

Jakarta, the capital city of the Empire.

---

The balancing of supply and demand is one of the top priority of the social market economic system. This balance determines market prices, and in order for these processes to function effectively, it is important to guarantee competition and prevent the exercise of uncontrolled and wild market power. In this way, market mechanisms expand consumption opportunities, motivate suppliers to make innovations and technological advances, and distribute income and profits in accordance with individual achievement. At the same time, these mechanisms can prevent the excessive accumulation of market power.

---

---

It is the responsibility of the individual sovereign state (kingdoms, constituent states, grand duchies, principalities) within the Dual-Empire to establish the framework for effective competition. At the same time, the state must foster the willingness and ability of individuals to take personal initiative and to act independently. It must not stifle these essential individual qualities by allocating too much responsibility to state institutions. State action requires taxes, which represent a burden to the economy and society; this burden falls primarily on labour and thereby limits the ability to dispose of income freely.

As a complement to the principle of free markets, the concept of the social market economy includes a second principle: the principle of social equity. To the extent possible, the emphasis on social equity should not constrain market freedom. Nevertheless, it is important to avoid the downsides of free markets, including destructive competition, the excessive concentration of economic power, and socially inequitable impacts of market processes such as unemployment. For this reason, the state pursues social policy measures as a way of actively intervening in market processes. The aim is to achieve the greatest possible degree of social security while ensuring the highest possible level of prosperity.

Over 20 major international corporations and countless domestic corporations traded their stock volume and shares within the stock exchange, such as Trinity Global Defense, Voss Defense Inc., and BergBucks Coffee Inc..

On March 25, 1990, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "Indonesian Empire Storefront Exchange." Ito Warsito was elected the Exchange's first president director.

The first central location of the Exchange was a room, rented in 1990 for ¥180 a month, located at 18 Sukarno Avenue. In 1992, the Indonesian Empire Storefront Exchange changed to its current name, the Indonesian Empire Stock Exchange. In 1995, the Exchange moved to 25-28 Central Street.

(OOC : The history explanation starting from the unification of the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes in 1987, up to the union with Anagonia.

---

During the late 20th century Yohannesian nationalism rapidly shifted from its liberal and democratic character in 1948, called Pan-Indonesianism to Javanese first minister Donata Setyoutomo’s "Javanism". Donata sought to extend the Kingdom of Java's hegemony throughout the Indonesian states; to do so meant unification of the Indonesian states and the elimination of Yohannes’s rival, Manifests, from the subsequent empire. He envisioned a conservative, Javanese-dominated federation of kingdom.



Three wars led to military successes and helped to persuade the various Indonesian states to unite under the banner of the Kingdom of Java: the Second War of Riau against Mindemoya in 1982, the Manifest-Javanese War against Manifests in 1984 and the Jonre-Javanese War against Jonre in 1986-87. During the Siege of Surabaya in 1987, the western Indonesian states, supported by its Indonesian allies from outside of the west alliance (excluding Manifests), formed the Unitary Indonesian Empire with the proclamation of the Javanese king Hamengkubuwono I of Yohannes as Indonesian Emperor.



The Indonesian Emperor (Indonesian: Kaisar orang Indonesia) was the official title of the Head of State and ruler of the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes, beginning with the proclamation of Hamengkubuwono I as emperor on 8 April 1987 at the VOC Palace.



The title "Indonesian Emperor" was carefully chosen by first minister Donata Setyoutomo after discussion until (and after) the day of the proclamation. Hamengkubuwono I of Java-Yohannes accepted this title grudgingly as he would have preferred "Emperor of Indonesia" which was however, unacceptable to the federated monarchs, and would also have signalled a claim to lands outside of his reign within the region of Indonesia (Mindemoya, Manifests, Jonre etc.). The title Emperor of the Indonesians, as proposed in 1987, was ruled out as he considered himself chosen "By the Grace of God", not by the people as in a democratic republic.


Donata Setyoutomo, First Minister of The Indonesian Empire of Yohannes and prime minister of The Kingdom of Java

Donata himself prepared a broad outline - the 1984 West Indonesian Constitution, which became the 1987 Imperial Constitution with some adjustments. The empire acquired some democratic features. The new empire had a parliament with two houses. The lower house, or Parlemen Elektif, was elected by a comprehensive universal voting system throughout the empire. However, the original constituencies drawn in 1987 were never redrawn to reflect the growth of urban areas. As a result, by the time of the great expansion of Yohannesian cities in the 2000s and 2010s, rural areas were grossly overrepresented.

---

Following the agreement of the Imperial and Confederacy Compromise of 2010, signed by the President of the Confederate States of Anagonia, Jason Paladin, and the Emperor of the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes, Rajino Hamengkubuwono I, the Dual-Empire, also known as the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes is officially formed as a single national entity. With a Gross Domestic Product and Purchasing Power Parity of ¥487,137,157,902,954.73 (487.137 trillion Yohannesian Rupiah), the largest trading centre globally, the second largest banking authorities worldwide, and a total population of 13,874,000,000 (13.874 billion), the new Empire has become an economic and socio-political powerhouse.

The Monarchy bears the name internationally as "King-Emperor of Anagonia-Yohannes, which in full officially means the "The Kingdom and Land Represented by the Descendant of God in Heaven.

---

There are three distinct elements within the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes. A common general foreign, military, and joint-financial policy under the ruling monarch and imperial dual-government. The second element is the constituent government of Anagonia, and the third is the constituent government of Yohannes itself. The system works in a way that the constituent sovereignties of Anagonia and Yohannes maintained their own separate parliaments, each with its own head of governments under a monarch which, in theory, wield absolute power, but limited in actual practise. The constituent sovereignties' common government shares the responsibility of the maintenance of the army, air force, navy, foreign policies, and customs union.

6. Military - (Gathering Information. Under Construction)Dual Imperial Armed Forces of Anagonia-Yohannes

---

The Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes or Indo-Anagonian Empire, also know as the Dual Empire, is an imperial union between the crowns of the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes in Terra Nova and the sovereignty of Anagonia in Tyrrhenia. The union was a result of the Imperial and Confederacy Compromise of 2010, under which the economic, military, and demographic total population of both sovereignties are shared under one union of a Dual-Imperial system (Dual-Empire and/or or Dual-Monarchy). This symbiotic relationship allows the two nations to act as one in many affairs, including but not limited to incorporating economic and population numbers into a final statistic. It also extends to both countries using the full combined military strength in hostile or peacekeeping situations.

---

While it needs to be mentioned the conditions outlined within the Articles of Statehood act for the Indo-Anagonian Empire, the case where the two nations agreed to such a union is quite exceptional. Special exceptions had to be drafted by both Legislative Branches of both Nations to compensate for the newly formed powerhouse of a nation. That of ensuring sovereignty was respected and ensuring that the world understood the strength of the unity between the two combined nations.

---

The National Army re-organisation was being put into effect following the union with the Confederate States of Anagonia, with main focus being placed in the development of a trully professional army and land formation, and the abandonment of the outdated conscript practise of the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes. Following the union with Anagonia, and the subsequent formation of the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes, a serious re-organisation of the army was needed. The result was the retainment of a professional standing force of ten land divisions, with emphasis being made in quality, and not quantity of the said coalition of formation. There are currently 10 active professional standing land divisions of the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes. The goverment of the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes allocated an estimated ¥546,412.16 (not converted to Universal Standard Dollar yet) worth of training and equipment of its military budget per men.

The view of the international community upon the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes and its various entities

---

Yohannes
Foreign Service advisory: Approval With Minor Caution
The Empire of Yohannes is a democratic constitutional monarchy with a progressive, staunchly anti-slavery and pro-egalitarian governmental stance which Inutoland recognises with the highest approval. The one cautionary note the Foreign Service will sound for travellers from Inutoland is that they should be aware of the dim view the Empire takes of alcohol and drug use, both of which are banned in Imperial territory.

With the highly developed economy of Yohannes, especially its financial sector, the Foreign Service expects that most Inutolanders travelling to the Empire will be businessmen. Business travellers will face no systematic problems in Yohannes as long as the above caveat is borne in mind.

Following continued interaction with the Indonesian Empire of Yohannes, their original rating of 4. Friend of the Empire, has been revised to a 5. Friend of the Empire.

Dear Indonesian Empire Stock Exchange

I represent Forza Automotive, one of the largest Automtotive manufacturers in the world and I believe the Indonesian Empire is well acquainted with our brand.

At first so can you think that the political were meant to mimic that the absolute royal federation have with one strong king ruling over a number of semi-independent realms, however is this beautiful and glorious idea sadly shattered rather early if you my dear reader looks closer into their system of government. Where the absolute royal federations leadership is made up of noblemen who by right rule so do Yohannes and her state pervert this most glorious system by tainting it with the curse of democracy. This have lead to the commoner of this nation are able to chose their own leaders in a mere popularity contest rather than giving that task to those that have the ability to rule the nation and the right to do so.

Dear Syahnan Soeharto

We at the AoM Foreign Administrator's office would be honored to provide all requested accommodations to the representatives of such a highly esteemed nation. Your application has been accepted, and an embassy shall be set up in Sub-Scio Utopia. We look forward to working with you in the future.

1.) The Indonesian Empire have a positive view of the United Kingdom of San Pellegrino Romana. I, as the Kaisar of this Empire, feels that both your Kingdom and our Empire is the perfect image of how a constitutional monarchy can be established in a modern, globalized society.

Both of our Nation are highly developed countries, with an advanced economic structure ingratiated deep within the roots of both our nation.

Both our Nation are the new breed of highly-enterprising constitutional monarchy state with a complete know-how to establish storefronts/companies globally in NationStates.

Both our Nation are, as a result of its extensive storefronts and companies overseas in NationStates, has a high Gross Storefront Product and therefore a high combined GDP per capita (living standard), further classifying both of us as part of the new generation of "Emerging Great Powers" in nationstates.

---

2. ) Yes, the Empire will gladly establish an embassy inside the united kingdom, provided your foreign minister created the ambassadorial programme in the first place, of course.

---

3.) We think highly of the Royal Family of San Pellegrino Romana. However, a personal union we feel is too early for both of us to decide in this moment in time.

However, my intelligent and most-loving daughter Adriana Teresa will turn 20 in April this year, and I believe that she would love to meet a dashing prince coming from such a prestigious family as the San Pellegrino Romana Royal Family

---

4.) Yes, we do have a range of awards and medals rewarded for outstanding bravery, peformance, and craftmanship of an individual. We are in the process of registering the said list of awards in our national factbook as we speak now.

We feel that, after such a positive relationship that the Royal Family of Hamengkubuwono had with the Royal Family of San Pellegrino Romana, it would be most deserving in your part to receive one of the award rewarded only to influential Royal Families in NationStates.

More information about that shall be listed in our national factbook in the future.

Question: We just saw the way your Imperial Mechanized and Armoured Formations completely destroyed and annihilated the Kazakhs-Russian Army Group in Massacre in District 1 Conflict.

Your national motto in latin means "We Will Defend the Right of Our Government". This means that you will only use brute force to defend your own land. Then, Why did you attack the Kazakhs and Russians in this conflict?

Answer : If you look properly here, we have sent an ultimatum to Apartheid Kazakhstan, that if they continue to discriminate and racially abuse the said segment of their population, then we will intervene militarily.

Imperial Indonesia's Immigration Problem

At the moment, Indonesia Youth Org. - a youthful Indonesian internet firm employing 130 people - is turning away highly qualified job applicants. But that could soon change.

In a decade or so Imperial Indonesia will start to experience severe skilled labour shortages.


An ageing and shrinking population needs goods and services and somebody has to produce the goods and has to provide the services

Abdullah Biz Hazimin Bin-Laden
Recent Immigrant from the Middle East
"It's a good idea to bring special people to us and highly qualified people. I think we will need this. Already at the moment we have here some people which are not originally from Indonesia - 10% or so - this percentage will become higher," says Abdullah, a recent immigrant to Imperial Indonesia

With a declining birth rate and an ageing population Imperial Indonesia has been forced into a radical re-think.

Recommendations

A nation which has never seen itself as an immigration country has been forced to admit that immigration may not only be good for the nation, it may even be necessary.

"An ageing and shrinking population needs goods and services and somebody has to produce the goods and has to provide the services," says Professor Suswoto Brantoro of the Immigration Commission, who published a recommendations on the future of immigration in Imperial Indonesia.

"We need immigrants, and not only as an exceptional deviation from normality but as the new normality."

"This means Imperial Indonesia should come to terms with its demographic future and this would be to recruit attractive immigrants for permanent settlement," he says.

The commission's report recommends targeted economic migration. Would-be settlers would qualify using a points system with bonuses for their skills qualifications and their language ability.

But numbers will be modest to start with - just 40,000 to 50,000 people per year.

The chair of the commission, Professor Mari Sinta Handyaraningsih, says she wants a flexible system.

"Every year we are looking (at) how many have come and which are the needs. What we know already, starting with the year 2010 we need much more and when I said we recommend 50,000 we didn't count the family. Usually we count at least three persons per average," she says.

Pros and cons

The demographic time-bomb means Imperial Indonesia's lavish welfare state and high pensions could soon be unsustainable.


For the first time since 40 years migration is being discussed in a positive manner

-Hedranto Brandero-
It is surprising nonetheless that no one is suggesting cutting back social protection.

Instead immigration is now seen as the answer.

But for Dr. Cipto Mangkusumo of the association of the Unitary Indonesian Empire of Yohannes Chambers of Commerce, immigration has to be carefully targeted.

"If there is a problem with the labour market that we cannot find people that the companies need then that is a negative fact on the gross national product," he says.

A new wave of immigration could also change things for Imperial Indonesia's large illegal Middle Eastern and African community.


The unions and the entrepreneurs, they all claim that we need immigration so I think the Christian Democratic Party has to be careful that they don't isolate themselves

Mary-Elizabeth Negarasanto
Government Commissioner for Minority Rights
Forty years since the first guest workers arrived and many of the country's Turks still endure second class status.

"For the first time since 40 years migration is being discussed in a positive manner. This will help also the people who are now living here because I think they will have some measures who will help to integrate the people to give them maybe a more equal rights," says Mohammed Cinar, vice-president of Imperial Indonesia's Middle Eastern community.


The government will publish its own proposals in September and legislation will follow soon after.

The Imperial Indonesian Government's main objective has been to keep immigration out of the next election.


Donata Setyoutomo's Liberal Conservatist have yet to support the proposals
Mary-Elizabeth Negarasanto, the government's Commissioner for Minority Rights, says the opposition, right-wing Liberal Conservatist and Christian Democrats will have to tread a careful line.

"The situation really has changed. The unions and the entrepreneurs, they all claim that we need immigration so I think the Liberal Conservative Party and Christian Democratic Party has to be careful that they don't isolate themselves."

Imperial Indonesia has never seen itself as a multi-cultural society and talk of integration has at times taken on an intolerant tone.

Then the message was that foreigners had to behave like Indonesians. But Indonesians themselves are now embarking on a journey which could change their society forever.
