The child who would become Kaprediem developed an early interest in geopolitics in history due to his exposure to a Cold War-era Encylopedia Americana collection. Young Kap was fond of watching historical documentaries and listening to AM talk radio. At around age seven, he thought an imaginary nation called Hanauma, which eventually was renamed Hanuma. The "nation" was an archipelago located east of the Philippines; its history drew parallels to Kap's home country, including a period of Spanish colonization, American occupation, and dictatorship. In-universe, Hanuma was named after a fictional leader named Francisco Hanauma, who would establish a dynasty culminating in Francisco Hanauma IV. | The child who would become Kaprediem developed an early interest in geopolitics in history due to his exposure to a Cold War-era Encylopedia Americana collection.

After graduation, Kap worked as a call center agent, from which he saved enough money to purchase his first computer. This was the end of a long period of touching grass, before the popularization of the term. From 2016-2019, he mostly indulged in simulation games mainly as a form of escape from the global political situation and work-related stress. | After graduation, Kap worked as a call center agent, from which he saved enough money to purchase his first computer.

The COVID-19 pandemic proved fateful for Kaprediem as it led to a string of decisions that would give rise to Lambat, and eventually, Kapatiran. From his cushy office job, he was sent to work from his dormitory in the city, until it was possible to return to his childhood town. | The COVID-19 pandemic proved fateful for Kaprediem as it led to a string of decisions that would give rise to Lambat, and eventually, Kapatiran.

Further deterioration of the country's politics alongside Lambat's sustained economic growth was abruptly cut short by the shutdown of CivClassic in December 2021. Several members of Lambat joined other factions, while Kaprediem sought to continue in the then-upcoming CivMC server. | Further deterioration of the country's politics alongside Lambat's sustained economic growth was abruptly cut short by the shutdown of CivClassic in December 2021.

'''CivMC and TutelleMC I (2022-2024)''' | |||
Lambat was relaunched in CivMC as an oligarchic semi-federal republic, governed by Kaprediem as the president together with the State Council. The nation was highly active during the first five months of the server, and became known as a transport hub. By early 2023, Lambat's development gradually fizzled out due to decreasing player interest. Kap would later announce his soft retirement on May 17 of the same year. Subsequently, two Prime Ministers were appointed to serve as co-head of government, one of which is [[TikraiNeGedvilas]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/1d0rcqp/an_announcement_regarding_the_near_future_of/</ref> In 2024, he attempted to revive Lambat by converting it into a monarchy and joining Pavia-Griffin as a protectorate. Such attempts proved futile due to an ongoing economic recession. Concurrently, within February of the same year, the first iteration of TutelleMC was launched. Kaprediem established a town named Sibat, focused on agriculture. He only logged on occasionally. | |||
