Introduction: The Pre-Colonial Era of the Tropican Socialist Republic (TSR)

Prior to the discovery of what is now the Tropican Socialist Republic (TSR) by Christopher Columbus in 1502 and the Spanish colonization that followed his discovery, the island that is now the Tropican Socialist Republic (TSR) was an island that was, for all intents and purposes, uninhabited by human beings. Moreover, it was an island that was completely enveloped by a dense forest that harbored both a spectrum of vegetation that happened to be indigenous to the Caribbean region and, a species of rabbit that was present nowhere else in the rest of the world. We know of this information because of the magnificent discoveries of the "Pre-History of Tropico Program", which was initiated by the Department of Science of the University of the Tropican Socialist Republic (UTSR) in 1980, as so to learn more about the overall situation that was in existence before humans came onto the country's shores during the period of Spanish colonization.

1A.) The Discovery of Tropico

On the morning of the 14th of August, 1502, one of the crewmen on the leading ship of an exploratory mission that was headed by the aforementioned Christopher Columbus sighted an island that had a small series of hills and that was mostly forested. Soon after the sighting, he came to Columbus with the news and that, in turn, convinced Columbus to proceed towards this island with the hopes of finding new treasures and of expanding the Spanish Empire. The island that is being described here is, of course, the Tropican Socialist Republic (TSR), and, with the landing of this exploratory mission, which occurred during the latter part of the day, a new epoch had begun, an epoch that would irrevocably transform its reality in every aspect.
