National Overview: Human activity on Clasa can be traced back as far as 1000 BCE, when a native people called Xasa landed on the island. Several smaller tribal kingdoms have ruled on the island but the first known unification happened in the 8th century, when a federation of five major tribes was formed. In the 17-18th century Gaullica set foot on Clasa and colonized it. In the 19th century independence was gained and what followed was a turbulent time with various figures trying to shape the young nation. In the early 1900s an excentric totalitarian president took charge and industrialised the country. He eventually grew more and more unpopular. During the Great War a rebellion takes place which sees a new change in power. In the 1970s a military junta stages a coup. It all escalates into a long drawn conflict which lasts well into the 1990s. The conflict finally ends and in the last 25 years Clasa has developed into a relatively stable and modern economy.
