Kingdom of Bombardos

The **Kingdom of Bombardos** is an unrecognized Caribbean nation occupying the islands of Greater Inagua as well as Little Inagua island. It is located north east of Cuba, north west of Haiti, and south of the Bahamas. Much of the Bombardian economy comes from salt exports, although limited tourism does exist. The largest city is Matthewston which straddles the land between the Sea and Lake Rosa, while the Capital of Moreuz is located on the coast of Lake Rosa in the north.

## History

The original settler name Heneagua was derived from a Spanish expression meaning 'water is to be found there'.[citation needed] Two names of apparent Lucayan origin, Inagua (meaning "Small Eastern Island") and Baneque (meaning "Big Water Island") were used by the Spanish to refer to Great Inagua.

Several documented treasure laden ships were destroyed on Inaguan reefs between the years of 1500 and 1825. The two most valuable wrecks lost off the Inaguas were treasure-laden Spanish galleons: the Santa Rosa (1599) and the Infanta (1788). Other ships of considerable value were the British HMS Statira and HMS Lowestoffe in 1802, and the French Le Count De Paix in 1713.

Local legend has it that Henri Christophe, King of Haiti from 1811 to 1820, buried treasure at the Northeast Point of Great Inagua where he had a summer retreat.

### The foundation of Inagua

In early 2012 it was decided by a private council that Inagua would declare independence. A Flag was drawn up and it was decided the new Republic would be called ***The Republic of Inagua***(En-ah-guay), It went through several phases between Republic, Monarchy and Military Dictatorship. On the fourth of September the Senate decided the Nation would be named ***Bombardos***, in reference to the many internal conflicts the island has been home to.
