fl Short history of the world) «_ —t fan rum. I |n 1513, after years of being quite content as just another Island in the Caribbean, the mythical Xectexazon, as it was known then, was visited by an aristocratic swashbuckler named Don Coruba. "Dissa Island definitely needs a liberating", thought Don, and so it was to be. Don quickly established a new dominion on behalf of the King of Spain with little opposition from the natives (mind you, would you argue with seventeen cannons pointing at your grass hut?) He then quickly changed the Islands name to a far /f ? \ more respectable one. ; The Island of 'Coruba' was thus born. Some years later, in 1518, an event occured which I{| was to dramatically improve the future wealth of the State of Coruba.
