History of Greal


Greal was founded in 1836 after a 5 month war with the French. Greal made itself rich by selling Gold and steel throughout the world. In 1908, Greal was hit by a depression, so the Greal government began handing out money. In 1970,a man called Scott Walker was elected president, he began killing people everywhere, his army slaughtered alot of people. In the 1974 election, he won again, lots of people say that he rigged the election, after winning again in 1978 election, the people went to war against him. The rebellion's leader was Bill Watson, he beat Scott's troops after a bloody 3 year war. Bill became leader of Greal and everyone didn't care about a election anymore.
