This is the first chapter of the recently ancient book "On the Maxims of Iustopia" by Vetus.

In this chapter, we learn about the Kasiumaians, who were the first settlers on Iustopia. We learn about the initial struggles and their selfperception through two poems. One that has been translated and one in the Ancient Kasiumayan tongue.

This prodigious manuscript, comprising nearly three thousand pages, dates back to a period over two millennia ago and remained veiled from human eyes until its fortuitous discovery in 2012. This remarkable find was made by explorers on a diminutive, uninhabited island in the vicinity of the Azores region in the Atlantic Ocean.

The manuscript is inscribed in a now extinct language, which has been christened as "Iustopian." This antiquated language bears intriguing resemblances to Ancient Greek, Old Persian, and Latin. Its cryptic passages have been painstakingly deciphered, shedding light on an erstwhile forgotten society that demonstrated remarkable qualities in philosophy, art, politics, poetry and many other regards.

This discovery might very well be the most monumental of our epoch. As the contents of each chapter is revealed to the public for the first time in the forthcoming years, it will become clear that this tome possesses the potential to recalibrate our understanding of human history in its entirety. The magnitude of its impact, undoubtedly, will be transformative and far-reaching for our understanding of ourselves as human beings.
