This page is about the history of the nation of Retret. Retret is located on the Island of Rotten Tomatoes, also known commonly as "Madagascar".

Early History
Retret was colonized in the year 245 AD after a fleet of ships escaping persecution by the Ronolons of Ronkonkama crashed into what would become the Island of Rotten Tomatoes. The captain of the ship, Troy Lagro, discovered immense herds of cattle and lakes and streams teaming with fish. He named the land Retret, after Ret, the Royish god of fortune and Tret, the Royish god of plenty. After spending several months on the island, the people (numbering about two hundred and fifty) appointed Roy Apostlopolis the first King of Retret. He would forever be known as Roy the Great.

Reign of Roy the Great
Roy the Great ruled Retret from 246 AD until 267 AD. Roy the Great's reign was known for Retret's rapid growth and utilization of resources. Roy the Great sent envoys to other nations, including tdub- (ruled by Doubleu) and BOBS T TOWN BAR (ruled by Muddee) to trade the excess fish and cattle for diamonds, furs, wheat and sugar. This assisted in Retret's immense growth. Roy the Mighty died of brain cancer on March 27, 267 AD. He was succeded by his son, Roy II.

Sons of Roy the Great
Roy the Great took 4 wives, and had ten sons. His sons included Roy II, who would be King of Retret following his fathers death (267 AD) until 312 AD. He came to the thrown at 30 and ruled for 45 years. He would forever be knownn as Roy the Magnificent. Roy the Great's other sons include Troy the Belligerent, a great Retretish general; Sam the Wise, a master mathmatician and founder of the Great University of Retret; George the Good, who would become the leader of the Retretish Church of True Believers; Godfrey, a great explorer of the seas, who first made contact with the nation of BOBS T TOWN BAR. Roy the Great's other sons were Henry, Paul, Theodore, Jeffrey, and John, all great military leaders.

Reign of Roy the Magnificent
Roy the Magnificent ruled the longest, a time of 70 years. He died in 382 AD, having ruled with a strong hand and peaceful intentions. He was able to diplomatically solve several world wars.

Retret Civil War
Upon the death of Roy the Magnificent, his three sons vied for control of the Kingdom. Roy the Magnificent had had a set of triplets, so it was unclear who really was the one to succede to the throne. Roy III, also known as Roy the Mighty, was the Supreme commander of the Retret Military, while his brothers Troy II nad Jerry banded together, plotting to split the nation in two and crush Roy the Mighty. Roy the Mighty was able to out wit his brothers, and after a long and bloody civil war that destroyed much of the country, Roy the Mighty took power. Since that time he has ruled with an iron fist.
