Spain was a nation-state located in Western Europe, on Earth.
During the late 15th century, the Spanish set out to expel all non-Christians from Spain in what was known as the Spanish Inquisition. Q noted that, during this time, Earth had "character". (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, DS9: "Q-Less")
When the da Vinci hologram was stolen from the USS Voyager and transported to an alien planet, the program reasoned, with his early 16th century knowledge, that it had been abducted by Spanish sailors and brought to South America. (VOY: "Concerning Flight")
During the 17th century, the Spanish were explorers and conquerors of North and South America. In 1680, the Spanish were the overlords of several American Indian tribes in a region of western North America, later known as New Mexico. These Indian tribes rose up against the Spanish and drove them out of the region, in what was known as the Pueblo Revolt. In 1692, the Spanish returned and brutally reconquered the area, killing several hundred and maiming several thousand more. Jean-Luc Picards' ancestor, Javier Maribona-Picard, was among the returning Spanish conquerors. (TNG: "Journey's End")
In 1810, Mexico, Spain's last territorial concession in North America, was able to gain its' independence as the result of using violence as a political instrument. (TNG: "The High Ground")
