After the revolution the people throughout Triquatra were happier
and found that the changes that they had decided on were working very
well and allowing them to feel and be treated with respect and freedom
they so longed for. But they still had no social or cultural values
in their lives. As a result of this the government decided on building
these values by building cathedrals and shrines for their gods, their
religion had slightly changed from that of Roman Religion over the
years due to geography, their hate towards Roman Rule and the fact
that they were cut of from Rome for all these years. Also the entertainment
grew as a result of building amphitheaters, theatres and even a Hippodrome.
The government also felt that all of the people of Triquatra should
be educated and built schools and libraries, those that were able
to read and write were forced to work in these educating the population.

At the start of the next millennium (1000 AD) Triquatra had developed
very well and now had a population of approximately ninety thousand
to one hundred thousand. Most of the knowledge gained by Rome in the
ancient times still existed and was even expanded on. There was very
little interaction with rest of the world except for isolated incidents
where explorers from either other countries or Triquatra itself set
off on journeys of discovery.
On one of these journeys, Captain Ponta Delgada, discovered what is
now known as the Azores Islands. He discovered the islands in 1060
AD and claimed them as Triquatrian land. Triquatra maintained these
islands but did not depend on them as their own island supported them
extensively. They took resources from the islands and brought them
back to Triquatra, for instance some species of plants and animals.
The total population to enter the island was only about four thousand
people, as the government found no use for it.
Triquatra's only real threat came in 1431 when Portuguese explorer
Gonzalo Cabral invaded the Azores islands. Portugal saw thought that
there were no real inhabitants of these islands claiming them for
themselves. Triquatra believed that these were their islands, but
were by no means in a position to defend the islands and could only
save their own. The Portuguese, really allowing Triquatra to remain
unaffected, began trade with Triquatra realising the vast amount of
materials and minerals that Triquatra had. Triquatra had a range of
different resources and really didn't intend to trade resources with
them but instead found it more beneficial to trade technology, advancing
not only their technology but also the Portuguese.

Triquatra also learned many things from the Portuguese but their
main interest was the world around them and how it operated. They
learned about science most of all and were fascinated by what they
were told. They repaid the favor by teaching the Portuguese more advanced
ways of farming, mining and using the land around them with the use
of machines that the Portuguese did not know of.
