The Royal Protectorate of Tampico was established with the Reclamation of Tampico of 2167. It was then that the descendants of the crew of the HMS Princess of Lisbon unsealed their ship which had sat in the harbor for ninety years since the bombing and began to march on the town. The tribals living in the port who did not bow down in awe immediately were dispatched by the Royal Marines who promptly made their way to the tallest building in town, the Catholic cathedral and raised a Union Jack large enough to be seen from a quarter mile away.
