The Indus Codominion

AFRICA || ASIA || AUSTRALIA || EUROPE || WESTERN || HISTORY

::Bioculture:: The racial mixture of the country is between Dravidians and Khmer. There is an Aryan strain that entered the population in the early years ABC when their armies came out of the north and into India, only to be defeated and enslaved by the Dravidian snake priests.

::Totem:: Indians made their Covenant with the viper and the cobra.

::Religion:: Vedic Animism has become the dominant religion of the Codominion in the last century. The Vedic cults are the original religion of India and have gone through countless incarnations as clerical, monastic, monotheistic, and polytheistic traditions. The animist influence comes from the Khmer of the east.

::Government:: The co-rulers are taken from the highest caste families. India has 2 capitals: one at Delhi and one at Angkor Wat. Civil war between the government and a loose coalition of shaman-led Karen and Meo tribes often plagues the country.

::Gender:: India practices gender equality.

::Guilds:: Most of the guilds are run by Khmer. Each guild is a large self-contained bio-farm where various resins, enzymes, drugs, and other biological substances are produced.

::Military:: The military is controlled mostly by Khmer generals.

::Shashi:: Shashi are cared for as valuable contributors to society. However, they are distrusted and kept under close supervision, even though they do enjoy citizenship and a limited version of the concommitant rights. Shashi are trained as Calxs to be given predictive and extremely difficult computational tasks.

::Geography:: The Codominion encompasses the entire sub-continent, extending to the Himalayas in the north. It also includes the tropical jungles of southeastern Subasia, running all the way to the eastern shores of the Pacific and throughout the southern peninsulas.
