History

The earliest human fossils date back 50,000 years. These are believed the ancestors of the modern indigenous people. Caucasian people began appearing in 1500 B.C. It is unknown where they came from.

Around the 200's A.D. The caucasians became the most populus ethnic group. A large empire of the indigenous people declined. The few remanining lived in nomadic tribes. Christianity began to spread during the fall of the Empire. Feudalism became common in city-states in the 400's.

The Kingdom of Vasingtonia was established in 532. It started as a military alliance under one General, who gave command to his king, Alexander I, when he died. He declared the whole alliance his kingdom, and used his military to carry out that rule. Vasingtonia gradually expanded and soon controlled most of what is now Commustan.

In the 17th century revolutionaries brought about several reforms.
