England
In many ways England has revealed itself in the Caribbean to be what Spain has long called it: a nation of pirates! For years, England was limited to a handful of small colonies in the Antilles and Barbados with its sugar, molasses, and rum. But with the capture of Jamaica from Spainof doubtful lawfulness, but what can Spain do?England has unleashed its rovers on its hated Inquisitorial enemy. No peace beyond the line is the justification, along with pretenses of reprisals against Spanish piracies, which are often in reprisal for piracies by English buccaneers. But England is not only a nation of sea dogs; it is also a nation of merchant traders, and it is by merchantry and trade that they come to rule. As trade with Spain becomes paramount, the buccaneers are slowly suppressed and begin marauding into the South Seathe Pacific Ocean, that iscoasts of the Spanish Main. Many Englishmen in the Caribbean are opposed to the suppression of the buccaneers, for they are the bulwark of defense at sea against enemy attack.
