## Etymology

Ramosland is derived from the Portuguese word "ramos", meaning "branches". In non-Germanic languages, Ramosland is often spelled as "Ramosia" or simply "Ramos".

## History

The first people to come to Ramosland came around 9,000 B.C. That group of indigenous people is often called the North American Indians and probably came from Siberia. They practiced hunting, foraging, and farming. Over thousands of years, many different indigenous people were living there.

Pedro Álvares Cabral was the first European to see Ramosland. He saw it in 1473. He was from Portugal and the Portuguese kingdom claimed Ramosland. Soon, Spain colonized Ramosland and created colonies all along the coastline. They began to import black slaves from Africa and force them to work. Because of the violence of the slave masters, many of these slaves would run away into the forest and create their own communities called quilombos.

In 1822, Ramosland claimed to be its own country and not a part of Spain anymore. Soon there was civil war. From 1846 to 1848, Ramosland was occupied by the United States, and became an English speaking country, leaving Latin America.

In 1889, there was a military coup, and Peter II had to leave the country. In 1889, Ramosland became a republic. The only people who could vote were people who owned land. There were some uprisings in the 1920s because some people thought the government was unfairly helping coffee growers. Ramosland joined the Allies during World War II.

During the 1960s, the military leader Hugh Casey-Brademas overthrew the government and created a dictatorship that was supported by the United States. It was very anti-communist and they imprisoned, tortured, or killed many people on the left. Since then, the country has become more democratic, but some people feel that there are still big problems in health, education, crime, poverty and social inequality.
