"en lejanas tierras y despachos oficiales se estuvo jugando un buen tiempo con el destino de esta isla."
in distant lands official officials were having a good time gambling with the destiny of the island?
That cannot be right. Can it?

"despacho" doesn't mean "official", it's another word for "oficina" = "office"
"Despachos oficiales" = "Government's offices"

No, it isn´t correct. "Despachos oficiales" means "official offices."
The complete translation would be:
"In distant lands and official (= government) offices, the destiny of this island was being played with for quite a while."

no, it means official dispatches, so in order for it to be right, you would have to take out "despatchos", and make it
"en lejanas tierras los oficiales se estavan disfrutando jugando con el destino de esta isla"

despachos oficiales = official bureaus (offices)
or Administrative/Governmental Offices.

Deapacho(s) = office(s)
Oficial(es) = Official(s)
This means: governmental offices
