    ¡Al combate, corred, bayameses!,

    Que la patria os contempla orgullosa; No temáis una muerte gloriosa, Que morir por la patria es vivir.

     
    — Himno de la Bayamesa

    Cuba-icon.png Cubaball, officially the Castroist Republic of Cigaretteland Cubaball, is a cube countryball in the Caribbean islands. The country is divided into 15 provinces, and 1 Special Municipality, including its capital Havana-icon.png Havanaball, giving it a total area of 42,426 square miles, making it the largest countryball in the Caribbean. With a population of 11.32 million as of 2021, Cubaball ranks 82 in the most populous countryballs in the world.

    Since its revolution, Cuba has been suspended from OAS-icon.png OASball due to making links with Soviet-icon.png Soviet Unionball. However, it does maintain membership in UN-icon.png UNball like almost every other nation in the world, and is a founding member of ALBA-icon.png ALBAball.

    Much like other socialist/communistballs, it does not do so well in regards to political, social or economic freedom. However, Cuba-icon.png Cubaball can into having a high human development index, unlike its fellow counterparts. Despite the trade embargo placed on it by USA-icon.png USAball, it has done well in regards to education and health - even becoming the first to eradicate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis in 2015. Many other countries in the Caribbean tend to rely on Cubaball for aid.

    Its national day can be either October 10, for when it declared independence from Spain-icon.png Spainball in 1868, or July 26, for when it had its revolution in 1959.

    The most popular way to represent Cubaball is with the countryball using a cigar and a military cap, which would be a reference to the late Fidel Castro-icon.png Fidel Castro, the country's former president.

    History[edit | edit source]

    Inhabited by the Taino-icon.png Tainoball, Cuba-icon.png Cubaball was not a colony of Spain-icon.png Spainball until discovery in 1511. Cubaball, the largest island of the Antilles, was originally divided into 29 chiefdoms. Many of these later became Spanish colonial cities, preserving their original names, such as Havana, Batabanó, Camagüey, Baracoa and Bayamo.

    It was known after Spanish arrival, on 1514 Spanish Empire-icon.png Spainball started to bulid it's settlements on the colonyball. Spain went on to enslave the Taino-icon.png Tainoballs in slve mines, although the "Laws of Burgos" revoked that, but then again rights didn't improve after that. Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar founded what was today Havana-icon.png Havanaball evolved as a colonial settlement. Havana-icon.png Havanaball gained city staus on 1519. A few years forward, 8-icon.png 8ball was brought by Spanish Empire-icon.png Spainball as its slave. While as a slave, the effects 8-icon.png 8ball would have was spreading the African based religion of Santería-icon.png Santería to Spanish Cuba-icon.png Governorate of Cubaball.

    The Spanish Cuba-icon.png Governorate of Cubaball became updated to a Captaincy-icon.png Captaincy by 1610, and Havanaball became capital. The main goYurt²

    Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, pirate and quite serious wars were waged for Cubaball between the Dutch Empire-icon.png Dutch Empireball, British Empire-icon.png Great Britainball, Kingdom of France-icon.png Franceball and its owner Spainball. But even after the signing of peace in 1762, the British fleet invaded Cubaball and captured Havanaball. To avoid losing its strategic position in the Caribbean, it handed over Spanish Florida-icon.png Spanish Floridaball to British Empire-icon.png Britainball to keep it its special child. In the 1790's, many Haiti-icon.png Haitiballs fled to Spanish Cuba-icon.png Cubaball's clay to escape the violent revolution on Haiti-icon.png Haitiball's clay. This is why Cubaball is part Haitian today and considered Haitiball to be "its Francophone sibling".

    Spanish Cuba-icon.png Cubaball eventually despised slavery of the 8-icon.png 8balls, the high taxes, and the corrupt system, so it revolted from Spain-icon.png Spainball's control in the "Guerra de los Diez Años". USA-icon.png USAball didn't like Spainball growing slave plantations near its clay, and Dominican-icon.png Dominican Republicball used to suffer a similar problem with Cubaball before it was independent, so they both supported Cubaball. The war failed in 1878, a decade later from where it started, but Spain-icon.png Spainball thought slavery should be banned in Cubaball like how it was in the remaining Spanish colonies, and it was in 1886.

    Spanish Cuba-icon.png Cubaball was still unhappy, and revolted again in 1895. USA-icon.png USAball wanted control over Cubaball´s clay for a long time, so it was willing to help the United States Cuba-icon.png Cuban rebels. So, USA-icon.png USAball blamed the Maine incident on Spainball starting the Spanish-American War. United States Cuba-icon.png Cuba, together with it First Philippine Republic-icon.png sibing and its USA-icon.png new ally, kicked Spainball's ass in that war. USA-icon.png USAball who now has parent custody, tried it's best to raise United States Cuba-icon.png Cubaball as it's puppet in the next few years to server its capitalist American ideals. United States Cuba-icon.png Cubaball also signed a treaty with its parent that gave it access to Guantánamo Bay. The first half of the twentieth century was marked by the decline of Cuba on the world stage. Presidents, dictators and rulers changed like gloves, and United States Cuba-icon.png Cubaball itself tolerated US invasions of its territory. As a result of all this lawlessness, Cubaball moved closer to the USA-icon.png United Statesball and became a paradise for the mafia, gambling rich and "sinful dealings."

    Cubaball's hate of fascism lead to it declaring war on Nazi-icon.png Nazi Germanyball and Japanese-Empire-icon.png Empire of Japanball in 1941.

    In 1952, Cuba-icon (Batista).png Fulgencio Batista took power with a military coup. Under his rule, the economy was of great but 1/3 of the Cubaballs were of very poor. Cuba-icon (Batista).png Fulgencio was also responsible for many deaths in the country. Then in 1959, The Cuban revolution began when a young Cubaball went on its revolution that things should change, and thats where the famous Fidel Castro-icon.png Fidel Castro kicked out Cuba-icon (Batista).png Fulgencio Batista, who went to exile in Portugal-icon.png Portugalball and later Francoist Spain-icon.png Spainball. Cubaball went up to its adoptive parent and said "FUCK CAPITALISM" and moved out of USA-icon.png USAball's house into Soviet-icon.png Soviet Unionball's home. Soviet-icon.png Soviet Unionball then gave Cuba-icon.png Cubaball some free nukes to scare away American invaders which pissed off USA-icon.png USAball fearing that the nukes would obliterate even the White House and 54 years later they became friends again.

    The communist revolutionary Fidel Castro-icon.png Castro showed great improvement in the social fields during his 53 years of communist rule, reducing the illiteracy rate, implementing a universal public health system and decreasing the infant mortality rate. Between 1960 and 1990, Cuba-icon.png Cubaball supported many socialist countries and communist movements in Latin America and Africa. Cuba-icon.png Cubaball was almost the main ally of the Soviet Union-icon.png Soviet Unionball, but perestroika and the collapse of the "Soviet Empire" led to a rapid decline in the country's economy and ambitions. Many predicted the imminent fall of the Fidel Castro-icon.png Castro regime to Cuba-icon.png Cubaball, which, surprisingly, unlike the regimes of many other countries of the Soviet bloc, did not happen. Despite this, with the death of his great friend, the communist regime lives a very delicate economic situation: the Special Period, his oil disappeared and the time they had electric light was so short that, instead of talking about blackouts, they talked about alumbrones. (“Accessions”). Even cats went hunting to eat. In the 2000s, Cuba-icon.png Cubaball was already in a more or less stable state.

    In 2015, USA-icon.png USAball re-established diplomatic relations with Cuba-icon.png it.

    Cubaballs's best friends are the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas, but many countryballs in said alliance are as troubled as it.

    Cubaball is also very sad over Fidel Castro-icon.png Fidel Castro's passing in 2016. Cuba-icon.png Cubaball also closed its borders.

    Since the end of 2018, Cubaball, which throughout the American embargo has suffered a series of economic crises, has faced a widespread shortage of food and hygiene products (such as soap and toothpaste), which has worsened in recent months.

    Raul Castro has recently stepped down as first secretary of the communist party from April 19th 2021.

    On July 11, 2021 there were quite strong protests due to the "democratic" group MSI (San Isidro Movement), the Cuba-icon.png Cuban government decided to detain many of their influencers in their homes. Obviously, this situation caused many protests against the Cuban government currently presided over by Miguel Diáz-Canel, causing some fights, stone throwing, vandalism and violence by some protesters. The protests caused by the MSI call for the end of the Cuban government (which they recognize as a communist dictatorship) shouting "LONG LIVE CUBA LIBRE" and are supported by USA-icon.png USAball and several countries of EU-icon.png European Unionball in their fight against the government. On the other hand, websites in Cubaball such as "EcuRed" have branded the MSI as "anti-Cuban", "provocative" and "disrespectful" The Cuban protests were brutally crushed by the security forces by August 2021.

    Flag Colors[edit | edit source]

    The flag of Cuba has five stripes each alternating between blue and white and a red equilateral triangle on the left side with a five-pointed star. Some might argue that Cuba's flag was inspired by USA-icon.png USAball's flag, but others believe it to be an idea from Narciso López, one of the main liberators of Cuba from Spain.

    Color Name RGB CMYK HEX
    Resolution Blue 0, 37, 144 C100-M74-Y0-K44 #002590
    White 255, 255, 255 N/A #FFFFFF
    Venetian Red 204, 13, 13 C0-M94-Y94-K20 #CC0D0D

    The blue stripes refer to the 3 old divisions of the island, the two white stripes represent strength and purity of ideas, and the red triangle stands for equality, fraternity, and freedom, as well as the blood of those who fought in the wars.
