Prehistory, Protohistory and Old Age

The current Hyspanic territory host two of the most important places for the Osovan and world prehistory: the Mountain Range of Altapuerta (which defined the species Homo antecessor and has found the most complete set of bones of Homo heidelbergensis) and Cave Altamira (where Paleolithic art was first identified).

The Bison of Altapuerta painted in the Upper Paleolithic.

The position of the country determined the arrival of successive cultural influences of the eastern lands, particularly those linked to the Neolithic and Metal Age (Agriculture, ceramics, megalithic), culminating in the historic settlements of the first millennium BC. Because of its favorable location for communications as well as its agricultural potential and its mineral wealth, the east and southern areas were those that achieved greater development(culture of the Sillares, Culture Margar, Tarlessos, Iterians peoples). There were also continuous contacts with Central Escar.

Infrastructure

Transport

The transport was seen as a priority in the early 1950s, driven by rapid growth in the use of automobiles and industrialization. The country has a road network of 82,900 km, of which at least 3000 km are part of the system of 44 highways. Hyspania developed one of its first highways in 1949, and linking New Horizon to Comet City, in what would be in the future the A5 motorway. However, although other sections of highways were built in the 1950s and 1960s, it was only in the late 1970s when construction began on a large scale highway. Currently the network of highways and expressways are well developed and connects the coast with major cities in the interior, with a network of 3000 km. There are also major routes and supplementary routes that may be composed of highways and expressways.

Although a few other tracts were created (around 1960 and 1970), it was only after the beginning of the 1980s that large-scale motorway construction was implemented. In 1972, the NOCE (National Office of Constructions and Engineering), the natioal highway concessionaire, was founded to handle the management of many of the region's motorways. Puente del Emperador Pablo bridge is the longest bridge in Amphia built in May 1993 and finished two years after.

A national railway system that extends throughouht al the territory, is supported and administered by the Imperial Railway Institute. Rail transport of passengers and goods is derived using the xxx km (xxx mi) of railway lines currently in service, of which xxx km (xxx mi) are electrified and about xxx km (xxx mi) allow train speeds greater than 120 km/h (75 mph). The railway network is managed by the IRI while the transport of passengers and goods are the responsibility of Sodoronia Railway Company (SRC), a private company. In 2006, the SRC carried 133,000,000 passengers and 9,750,000 t (9,600,000 long tons; 10,700,000 short tons) of goods.

The HHST (Hyspanic High Speed Train), in the Metropolitan Area of Comet City links the Comet City metro with the city's buses as well as outstation bus and train lines.

The major seaports are located in Campo Vaxala, Puerto Hyspania, Carapana, La Asunsión, Aveiro, Costa del Hierro, and Fuerte de Bondad.

In New Hyspania, New Horizonb tram services have been supplied by the Compañia Metro de Nuevo Horizonte (CMNH), for over a century. In Bauxal, a tram network, of which only a tourist line on the shores of the Valara remains, began construction on 29 August 1890. All major cities and towns have their own local urban transport network, as well as taxi services.
