Andreev Company, or AnCom, is a publisher and research corporation, one of the Hexarchs, and a faction in Quasimorph.

Background

Hexarch AnCom describes itself as a publishing business group. It is the largest producer of media content in the System. AnCom employs a huge staff of writers, screenwriters, film producers, video game developers, and so on. All this makes AnCom one of the most influential companies in the System. Through entertainment content, AnCom promotes the values ​​of anarcho-capitalism. It may not be the richest hexarch, but AnCom's commitment to the values ​​of the ancap system is beyond doubt.

It is well-known that AnCom has a considerable research division. It is unclear to many in the System what exactly these well-hidden research teams are doing. Due to our close work with AnCom in the past, we know that these studies focus on quasimorphosis.

No one can trace the history of AnCom exactly. It seems that the corporation simply appeared out of nowhere shortly before the Great Anarchist Revolution. However, there is information about the media conglomerate Eurasian Literary Society (ELS). It was this that became the basis of AnCom. ELS was the property of a major Eurasian businessman. According to rumors, a follower of ancient esoteric teachings. At some point, ELS shareholders removed the owner from managing the company, and it became rich from the production and sale of entertainment content. Then ELS began buying up the last independent studios and publishing houses, after which it transformed into AnCom. AnCom Corporation took an active part in the Revolution, sponsoring the formation of private armies and wiping away mercenaries' loyalty from national states by higher price.

Evil tongues call AnCom the Ministry of Propaganda of the ancap system. This is not far from the truth. All hexarchs can afford any field of activity. They are all engaged in production, and supplies, and energy production, and scientific activity. However, each hexarch invests most heavily in some unique profile, where it is simply impossible to compete with them. AnCom's focus is entertainment. However, their films, books, and video games are literally stuffed with anarcho-capitalist propaganda. There is range of action movies, where the hero shoots hordes of the Civil Resistance colnodes or historical strategy games about the days of the Great Anarchist Revolution. That's what AnCom creates for recreation.

Recently, the corporation has been creating content in which the protagonist destroys hordes of monsters and hosts of demons. Screen adaptations of Robert E. Howard's books about Conan the Barbarian, who saves humanity from monsters, are a popular endless series from AnCom. Also there is highly demanded a series of games about the conquistadors of Cortes, conquering the nightmarish and disgusting civilizations of Mesoamerica.
