Ocassa History
For roughly 250 years, Ocassa was ruled by The Hafar Royal Family. The Hafar Royal Clan was Ocassa's ruling Governorship for a far away empire. They fought against their own empire for compete sovereignty and won on Oct. 30, 1742 International Century.
With The Hafar Royal Clan as the ruling group of the new Kingdom of Ocassa, the small nation grew thanks to large acres of farm land and the arrival of the manufacturing industry. With the discovery of coal & oil near the Vona Mountains, The division of Royalty and Business Class over the everyday citizen opened further. Some small revolts were attempted, but were put down brutally.
By the mid-1850's, religious groups were entered into the upper class thanks to Ocsaas Royalty donations in order to keep the masses in check. In 1861, a band of dockworkers attempted to unionize after being forced to work two days straight, with pay at 6 cents per hour. When denied, the workers stormed a merchant ship and occupied it. There was a brief stand-off before royal orders stated to 'do whatever was necessary to remove the peasants.' Ocsaas Royal Guard fired cannons into the ships hull. The ship sunk 15 minutes later, killing all but two of the dockworkers. Also known as, "Black Sunday."
By the 1900's, many political groups organized in a plot to destroy The Ocsaas Royal Family. The three biggest in the country by 1925 were The Ocsaas Communists, The Ocsaas Fascist Bloc and The Republican Front. In 1930, all three groups openly declared war on The Ocsaas Royal and upper class, sparking The First Ocsaas Civil War. The Loyalist Government organized troops and declared martial law. The 3 political groups attacked the government with guerrilla & terrorist tactics.
In 1994, The then King of Ocsaas, King Yosimth Hafar V was assassinated in his private convoy, a Fascist Rebel dressed as his guard. The Loyalist Government fell soon after. However, The big 3 political groups wanted the country for themselves. This was the start of The Second Ocsaas Civil War, called The Propaganda War by the citizens.
While there was fighting in the streets, each group was trying to convert the citizens to their cause. The Ocsaas Fascists proved the most successful, with promises of equality, state-run national unions, and freedom from upper class and a massive scale hate campaign against loyalist, clergy, communists, pure-capitalists, and foreigners.
By 2017, The Fascist Bloc had occupied the capital Jessco and established themselves as the national governmental body of Ocsaas. Fascist leader Geoffrey Viox declared himself President of Ocsaas for life.
