The Tempered Lily
Four hundred years ago, a land in the South Americas was occupied by farmers. These farmers plant and harvest coconuts, plantains, cassava, rice, hot peppers and other spices. They are nature lovers who planted lilies everywhere, however, not a single lily survived for a long period of time.
For over a century, people lived with a simple life and was supported by unregulated educational system. There was no established government that people of the said land recognizes except the implemented standards of the expeditioners that originated from Western World who facilitated them in their survival. No battles or wars were ever recorded between the original settlers and pilgrims because the expeditioners came in peace.
Through the years, people adapted to a modern lifestyle, speaking a second language that they learned from the last known influencers that shaped them as a nation. 1970 was the year when these people were recognized as an independent republic.
If you are to turn back time, only Dutch, British and French colonizers waged war against each other concerning the dominion over the settlers' fertile land.
The said land and republic at the present time is now known as the "Land of Many Waters," sometimes referred to as the "Land of Giants" because of its unusually large size of wildlife-- black caimans, Jabiru stork, river otters, anteaters, Goliath tarantula, anaconda, Kaieteur Falls and the incredible size and strength of the Victoria Amazonica lily (also known as Victoria Regia, in honor of 1837 British Queen).
