On May 30, 2006, King KasMage established the Monarchy of Kasirock. Upon its inception, it was agreed upon by the Royal Council and the King that it would be necessary to place the nation into an alliance for purposes of defense and political establishment. Research into different alliances led to the consensus of ten of the thirteen Royal Councilmen, as well as the King, that membership into the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization (GATO) would serve the nation best.
