The conquistadors originally organized it as a captaincy general within the Viceroyalty of Peru. The crown established the "audiencia" in 1549. Ultimately the kingdom became part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada first in 1717 and permanently in 1739. After several attempts to set up independent states in the 1810s, the kingdom and the viceroyalty ceased to exist altogether in 1819 with the establishment of Gran Colombia. - Bogota, officially Bogota, Distrito Capital, abbreviated Bogota, D.C.

It is the third-highest capital in South America (after Quito and Sucre), at an average of above sea level. Subdivided into 20 localities, Bogota has an area of and a relatively fresh climate that is constant over the year. Bogota was founded as the capital of the New Kingdom of Granada on August 6, 1538, by Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada after a harsh expedition into the Andes conquering the Muisca. The Muisca were the indigenous inhabitants of the region and called the settlement where Bogota was founded "Bacata". After the Battle of Boyaca on August 7, 1819, Bogota became the capital of the independent nation of Gran Colombia. Since the Viceroyalty of New Granada's independence from the Spanish Empire and during the formation of the present Colombia, Bogota remained the capital of this territory. The city is home to senior agencies of the executive branch (Office of the President), the legislative branch (Congress of Colombia) and the judicial branch (Supreme Court of Justice, Constitutional Court, Council of State and the Superior Council of Judicature).

It was created after the dissolution in 1830 of Gran Colombia. The republic was established after the dissolution of the Republic of Colombia (Great Colombia) with secession of Ecuador (Quito, Guayaquil and Azuay) and Venezuela (with Orinoco, Apure and Zulia) and was formed by the departments of Boyaca, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Magdalena and Istmo, all in the current Republic of Colombia (except Istmo, now Panama). In November 1831, those departments created the Republic of Nueva Granada, but nothing was established about symbols. Old symbols were confirmed provisional by the National Convention of 17 December 1831. It is not clear what flag it was: Restrepo believes that it is the flag with two cornucopias of Great Colombia. While new symbols were discussed, some proposals were issued. On 9 May 1834, the national flag was adopted and was used until 26 November 1861, with the Great Colombian colors in Veles arrangement. The merchant ensign had the eight-pointed star in white. In 1851 a new civil war broke out when conservative and pro-slavery groups from Cauca and Antioquia, led by Manuel Ibanez, Julio Arboleda and Eusebio Borrero, revolted against liberal president Jose Hilario Lopez, trying to stop the process of freeing the slaves, and in addition to a number of religious issues. - A parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive branch derives its democratic legitimacy from the legislature (parliament) and is also held accountable to that legislature.

The western one-third of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries.

In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body. Alternatively, federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided between a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region retains some degree of control over its internal affairs. - Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada y Rivera, also spelled as De Quezada and Ximenez, (1496 -other sources state 1506 or 1509Suesca, 16 February 1579) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador in northern South America, territories currently known as Colombia.
