Mänea (Mänean: Oxanxatmąo Ngorungmąmpo /oʃænʃætmao ŋoruŋmampo/, officially the Islands of the Mänean People, is a country located on the archipelago in the north of Akulanen.

Etymology

The Mänean name for their nation is Oxanxatmąo Ngorungmąmpo, which translates literally as The Islands of the Mänea People. This is often shortened to Ongompo.

Economy

Transport

Cars are banned in Mänean due to the Contemporary Conception Party which governs the nation. Contemporary Conception values both the most efficient and effective land use and environmental protection, and since they believe that roadways are a waste of space and that motor vehicles are bad the environment, the result is the aforementioned ban. This works well for Mänea because of its geography which allows for extensive use of boats as transportation. Public railway exist for Mäneans to cross islands in a shorter time span.

Energy

Because of Contemporary Conceptionist policies, clean, sustainable methods of energy production, like wind, solar, and hydroelectrical, are favored. Also favored, but not as much, is nuclear energy. Some use of fossil fuels does occur, primarily in private (rural) homes and for many boats.
