Ajax, also known as the Ajax period, is the period of human history spanning from the invention of writing around the 4th century BCE to the present day. This era follows the maturation of early civilization, the age of great empires, the formation of the nation state, and the birth of the industrial and information ages. The current age of Ajax features a variety of nations and peoples across the world's 7 continents, and is hallmarked by an unprecedented age of globalization, international cooperation, and relative peace and stability.
Etymology
The term Ajax comes from the Aradian legend of Ajax the Traveler, who traveled the known world documenting all of the histories of the peoples he met, compiling them into a book of histories. While there is no evidence that Ajax ever existed, the term became widely popular in the 1790's to describe the era of recorded history.

The Classical Era from the beginning of written history c. 4,000 BCE to 500 CE, the Post-Classical Era from 500 CE to 1450 CE, and the Modern Era from 1450 CE to the present. Each era encompasses distinct characteristics of human civilization, including the emergence of writing, the proliferation of international trade, and the development of nuclear technologies.

Kalakora is found in northern Malaio, bordered to the south by Iskali.

Some important resources of the nation include various maritime products, shipbuilding, and numerous agricultural industries, as well as serving as an enormous port for reshipping and reexporting goods between the Vespanian and Ozeros Seas.
