Lacrosse has had a long and complex history in Canespa with the first evidence of the game being noted in 493. Before the 17th century the game was played as a peace game. It was either played as an alternative to war if two houses thought better then fighting but it was also used to heal. Ceremonial games would be called to heal the sick in a village. There were no referees and the wooden stick was made from a hickory tree. The stick was supposed to represent all plant life and the ball represented human desires. Furthermore the goal represented desires being fulfilled. The game was supposed to show the Earth that it was appreciated, and that its help has been recognized and respected. Some notable games include the game between House Kanchi and House Papa in 783 over a religious dispute between the tribes over the proper way to construct pyramids. The game was won by House Kanchi with a game winning shot at the end. The score was 19-18. Another game is the Extranjero game in which the natives of Extranjero challenged the Burgundii sailors who attempted to raise prices through a misleading use of language. Unsurprisingly the natives of Extranjero crushed the Burgundii sailors who had been given a quick tutorial on how to play. The final score was 25-0. Lacrosse was officially recognized by the Wasi King upon his ascension to the throne and lacrosse matches were used to settle disputes between unruly subjects. Lacrosse as a normal passtime started in 1389 with the addition of a new rule set for non- ceremonial games in order to recognize the importance of the ceremonial game. The next major addition to the history of lacrosse was the beginning of the CLL in 1878. The first league featured 3 teams, all of which were from the Cuenca river area. The league quickly spread and was endorsed by the Wasi King in 1897. The league was officially bought out by the Canasta Company in 1906 following a few boring seasons. After the Canasta Company purchased the league the sport grew quickly to 10 teams by 1940. The addition of a two point line was also made during this time. In 1989 two more teams were added to represent areas that were previously underpopulated. No teams have been added since then but there are proposals for new teams. One notable proposal is for a foreign team that would represent all Levantine minorities in Canespa. While picking up traction the proposal is currently being buried by other paperwork. Overall the sport of Lacrosse is greatly important to Canespian society and it will likely continue to be for centuries to come. From being a tool for war and healing to being a common pastime to being a professional sport Lacrosse has gone through many eras. | Lacrosse has had a long and complex history in Canespa with the first evidence of the game being noted in 493.

The Director of Sports and Competition in Canespa has said on many accounts that Lacrosse is the most important sport to Canespa in both a cultural and playing sense. | |||

This does not mean however that the families do not resemble a clan type of family instead of a single unit. There is still a vary strong connection between family members and there is often a head of the house at many different levels. There is the head of the family unit, then the head of an extended family unit. This keeps going up until you get the House Heads. These are individuals who are heads over the entirety of a House. For example House Kanchi has a House Head who is responsible for house related matters, political matters, and house events. This creates a clan style family structure where each family has a close bond with other families in order to form one large family. Unlike the rural style family the urban families tend to have an equal amount of males and females in a clan. | ||

The newfound corporate nature of Canespa has created a new type of person compared to the old culture of Canespa. Modern Canespa's culture is far more work oriented then ever before and while the Canasta Company thrived on the capitalist nature of developing Canespan economy, the company has been taking the nation on a path to restore the old ways of the economy and create a more leftist style of economy while also maintaining a conservative view on other parts of the economy. This creates a weird sense of Canespa being one of the most liberal countries on the planet while also being one of the most conservative. The influence of Corporatization on Canespa is best described by this. "Corporate Canespa can be considered a to have a centrist point of view in that it takes all extremes but those extremes are polar opposites." Not exactly the way most centrist organizations are described but its the influence corporate life has had on Canespa. | The newfound corporate nature of Canespa has created a new type of person compared to the old culture of Canespa.

=== Land Ownership === | |||
Canespa is famously one of the only countries in the world where land is not owned by an individual in many cases. Land ownership was a completely foreign idea in Canespa up until the late 1800s when businesses began to streamline it. Although in the modern day there is some forms of land ownership within Canespa most areas, especially more rural ones have a system where land is owned by the whole community. In order to move into the area you need to either have permission from the Canasta Company for minimal local election rights or if you want the full rights of a local community you need to be accepted into it via the community council. Once you are a part of the community you are considered to own the land in a shared manner with your community members. Similarly, when land is traded between individuals its illegal to sell the land based off the land itself, instead the price is determined via the improvements that have been laid across the land. | |||
