[hider=The Kingdom of Paraíso]Name: The Kingdom of Paraíso Demonym: Paraísi Description: Founded in 1499 as a Spanish Colony, Paraíso befell a Spanish captain’s dream as he and his crew found themselves stranded on the island which they supposedly in humor referred to as paradise. By the early 19th century the revolutionary movements in the Caribbean resulted in many independent states of former Spanish colonies. Paraíso was one of many but instead kept it’s monarchy rather than calling for government reform. The then ruling family had supported their pull away from Spain and thus the royal family continued to operate – though fear of other ruling powers invading them invoked a fear, so through deals they began to train themselves to be the best defending militia they could be. This belief was instilled even up to modern day Paraíso, as the threat of encroachment is even more apparent. Up until the current year, Paraíso was ruled by King Rodrigo II Mägo de González for the entirety of the 20th century. He birthed a daughter, Alanza in 1935 who became a somewhat popular latin American pop singer and before her father’s death was looking toward a possible career expansion to the United States.
