Mandrasar was founded as a mill and market-town by [[Taństan Coscivians]] in 20546. As Fariva industrialised beginning in the 20970s, Mandrasar, which was located near (but not quite on) the eastern seaboard's {{wp|fall line}}, became a secondary center of industrial activity. Under Kirosocialist rule during the 21160s, the government of Fariva established the Fariva Technical Institute in Mandrasar, which trained a large number of informaticians, engineers and scientists.

After the fall of Kirosocialism and the (coastal) Kiravian economic miracle of the 21190s, Mandrasar, with the help of the state's chamber of commerce and development bureaucracy, promoted itself aggressively as a friendly, polyglot enclave for the international business and professional classes involved with the growing capitalist economy in the Bérasar metropolitan area. The student body of Darmon University provided a large workforce of Ænglish- and Latin-speaking service workers for the comfort of Occidental expatriates. Foreign-language street signs and public use of [[SI]] units were also employed to contribute to the cosmopolitan atmosphere. | ||
