The History of Hansgrohia:
The history of Hansgrohia dates back a while; it is considered a so called "new world" country and was largely inhabited by indigenous peoples... before it was then colonized by European settlers mainly from southern Europe (primarily from Spain, though large pockets from France and Italy), though a part of Hansgrohia was colonized by England and settled by peoples from Ireland, Germany, and Poland as well... Lebanese Christians came in as laborers as well as African slaves with other ethnicities such as Asians and Jews settling, mainly to work plantation work...

The distance of Hansgrohia, and the general cultural distinction, eventually lead to its independence movement. However, this unity would not last for long... quickly the ethnic divisions lead to bloody pockets of violence, and the country would be quickly divided, only being loosely united through its history...

Inevitably, the sporadic violence with a constantly dysfunctional economy lead to the country being forcibly included in an "Autistic Nations Association" which limited the country and allowed corrupt foreigners to control the nation... the nation was unfortunately poor save for some upper class Spanish peoples who were lucky... the nation was generally stagnant and barbaric, with a few settlements existing.

In the 1800s began the Industrialization; industrialization again was mostly controlled by either foreigners or wealthy white people. Despite the inequality it allowed the country to industrialize and develop; for years the country was a whipping lash for other nations for its association with the autistic nations... for once, it looked like independence may be achieved.

In the beginning of the 20th century, Hansgrohia formally joined The School Survival League of Nations, marking a massive shift of power, and alliancing itself with nations like Xcrtieria, Night, Brainistan, etc; a revolution against the foreign oligarchy lead to a stronger centralization of power... a massive issue was that ethnic ties lead to deep pockets of division which lead to a terrible civil war... growth was very stagnant and every day it was confusing as to what the hell the country was trying to do. The foreigners maintained strong control anyway....

Eventually, the bloody civil war came to a halt; a peace deal brokered by Dmosland, Xcriteria, the Democratic Forces, and so on allowed the country to have a strong united country... the civil war ended in 1938. Yet, this would just be the start.

In 1940, Hansgrohia had a skirmish with Aya.... In 1950 Dmosland and Hansgrohia had a massive war which nearly lead to a world war before a ceasefire was reached in 1962. In 1958, a referendum to leave Autistic Nations Association was overwhelmingly voted in favor by 85%, and the foreigners were kicked out of the country, despite massive controversy.

In 1977, the economy of Hansgrohia had a massive failure and a recession; this recession lead to the election of current president, Bashir Marcos Gemayel, in 1980.

Gemayel is a populist nationalist known for very bold statements and is very proud of his country... he is the first non-Spaniard to be voted as president of the country. Already, the country has achieved modest growth under his massive economic reforms.

The Year is now 1980. Where Will Hansgrohia go from here?
