'''Loyalists spread (true) rumours of a "land of rebels", but they weren't taken seriously by The Capitol. Using propaganda and footage showing The Capitol in a victorious light, they supposedly showed everyone why a land of rebels wasn't possible -- all of the rebellions had been crushed and there was no chance of a successful uprising. The Capitol had an overwhelming amount of power -- more than enough to stomp out any uprising.'''

How wrong they were.

'''By 800ADD, Libertas had become a rich, yet mysterious nation - having miraculously evaded The Capitol's eye for so long, thanks to its ignorance. The descendants of the rebels who signed the pact had built up Libertas' arsenal and troops for generations, almost enough to rival The Capitol and the loyalists. However, there were hostilities.'''

'''There was a sense of fatigue in Libertas, as well as in the rebellious districts in Panem. Most citizens had gotten bored and tired of trying to distract the loyalists and stockpiling -- they wanted to take action, once and for all. As a result, a civil war took place in Libertas. Those who wanted to continue stockpiling and those who wanted to take proper action, the latter allied with the rebels in Panem, fought. Ultimately, a vote was held and the side that wanted to take action won, bringing a democratic end to a violent war. Those who wanted to resume stockpiling could continue to do so, but most of the nation's troops were preparing for an eventual war.'''

'''The stage for the early war period was the 800th Hunger Games. Libertas had sent a group of spies into the Games, instructing them to kill the loyalist tributes and declare war on The Capitol. The Capitol finally acknowledged Libertas, declaring them an enemy. But it was already too late: Libertas was a powerful enemy.'''

'''This led to a century of violence. The Capitol was still unable to find Libertas; and it had deployed most of its Peacekeeper troops for fighting the Libertas troops that had landed in Panem.'''
