The History Of Course

The story begins

It all began in the summer of 1991. Crowds gathered, captivated by the speeches delivered by an ethereal, fairy-like vision—a conjuration born of imagination and lofty ideals. Amid the hum of expectation, this vision hovered over the intricate layout of tiny pebble-like pieces, each fragment a part of a greater Work-of-Art. It was a scene of transformation, an unravelling of an enduring, far-fetched contemplation.

This was no ordinary time—it was a season of change, a call to step out of the comfy, insular hole of the past and into the bold, uncharted expanse of maturity. A coming-of-age from the autarky of tradition to the embrace of a rule-of-law rooted in shared heritage. All of it set against the backdrop of upheaval, where every character who crossed Mr. Dickett's path played their destined role in shaping the narrative.

Leaning on the Juliet Balcony, in May of 1991, he took official charge as the Second Deputy Secretary to the Lord and Minstress of Course. Legislative power shifted dramatically, now vested in the Country Parliament—a body composed of one hundred and one directly elected representatives. With this new dawn came a sense of responsibility, a turning point where governance would reflect the collective voice.

And yet, history wove its legends into the fabric of the present. It is said that William Shakespeare proposed to Anne Hathaway for the fourth time beneath the stars, reciting lines that would one day become the famous balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet. Four months after their wedding in 1583, they supposedly took a mythical holiday on the sun, of Course—a poetic blending of truth and fiction that fueled the island's lore.

Until then, this small island at the heart of the Mediterranean had remained a quiet observer, surrounded by the major historical hegemonies of the Eurocentric age. Though modest in size, it bore witness to the rise and fall of empires that reshaped the known world. Unlike these grand powers, its rule-of-law was not forged by conquest or dominion but through an artful dance of swindling between neighbors' influence and the quiet resolve of local landowners.

The island's story, born from imagination yet rooted in the shadows of history, stood poised on the brink of change. Its legacy was a mosaic—a delicate balance of tradition, rebellion, and the enduring hope for a brighter, more unified future.
