In 4108, Paba lost its war against the Gold Empire. Paba and Subumpam, along with a few outlying territories such as Sulasali, were taken over and assigned to the Naman nation of AlphaLeap (native name Nisundusa). AlphaLeap renamed their new colonies Halasala and focused especially on Paba, both because it was the easternmost and thus closest to AlhaLeap, and because Paba had for 3000 years had a reputation of being easily exploited.
AlphaLeap saw that Paba's people had become the world leaders in education for over a thousand years and had lots of knowledge to share with the world. AlphaLeap promised to erase that record, and immediately converted all of Paba's schools into detention centers. They said that under the Leaper government, Pabap children would be given no education at all. Anyone, child or adult, caught reading a book not written or approved by the Leapers would be killed immediately.
Leapers were fond of harassing Pabaps and making them feel helpless. They knew of Paba's people's 3500 year old preoccupation with the height gap between Pabaps and all other peoples, and that it had actually gotten more severe over time as more of the taller Pabaps married out. They thus created new furniture and home goods only in extra large sizes, intending Pabap adult males to feel embarrassed when they realized they could not get around their own buildings without assistance and put up less resistnace against the Leapers. However, embarrassment was a very weakly felt emotion among Pabaps generally, and they turned instead to anger. Moreover, AlphaLeap soon realized that Paba and Subumpam were both largely run by women and had been for a long time.
Meanwhile, in Subumpam, things were not greatly different. The Crystals had been running Subumpam for most of its recent history, and they were a Feminist Crystal party, meaning that women were in control of men in every area of life and even the idea of a man asking permission to speak in a conversation about him was unthinkable. Women in Subumpam were generally taller than their men, which meant that, like Paba, AlphaLeap's attempts to emasculate the native men by making them feel powerless failed because they were already emasculated by their own women.
