History

Exiled

In 1550 the Acapans lost the great war to the Mundugras. The Mundugras killed the entire family of Rothings the royal family of the time and sent the rest of the Acapans into exile. The remaining Acapans walked and settled in the swamps six thousand miles southwest of Acapais. This path was know as the Trail of Tears.

Revenge

In 1761 Pablo Bernal was born and was promoted to general of the Acapan people in 1783. For ten years he raised and trained the most tactical army of that time. Pablo Bernal and every last native Acapan, marched to their homeland and restarted the war with Mundugras. The "War of Destiny" lasted for seven years and although the Acapans were outnumbered eight to five, in 1800 the Mundugras were defeated. Acapais was reclaimed to the native Acapans.

Post War

Since the War of Destiny, an overwhelming majority of the Acapais citizens wanted to abdicate war from the budget. Pablo Bernal, who became Supreme Minister immediately following the war, disagreed for he felt national defense was most important. But six years after becoming the minister, Pablo Bernal died of pneumonia. Pablo's son, Jesus, became the second Supreme Minister of Acapais. Jesus set exceptional precedents of doing what the people want and doing what is best for the people.

Political System

There are few government officials because there are no political divisions. The Supreme Minister is in full control of the nation, but has never in the history of Acapais abused his or her power.
