History
Hagston is the result of a formation between two former nations, Haphvaard and Gasbarn; two countries that were commonly described as ''"The nations without borders between". On the 12th of May 1898, Haphvaard Prime Minister Camilla Galek'' met with several officials from both sides of the almost non-existent borders and put a proposal forward for a merge between the nations. A famous extract from this proposal is "We share a city, we share our goods. We share a goal, we share a spirit. We share a dream. A dream to thrive in our growing civilisation. So, why don't we share a nation? A nation that together, can be above all!"

That same evening, the officials called a referendum.

The results were counted from the 20th to the 25th of May.
