The per capita GDP of $30,120 ranks highly in the world. The economy is fueled almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The average income is $65,825 and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest. Philimania ranks highly in civil rights, political freedom, and economic freedom.

=== | === Pre-Oranish history === | ||
Philimania was | According to indigenous [[Philimanian oral tradition]]s, Philimania was first settled by marine nomads known as the [[Runga Puan people]] from modern-day [[Manukaia]] during the [[Novalithic Age]] around 6300 BCE, although there are still many open questions about the specific dates and patterns of human migration into Philimania and many other Nullaric islands. the Runga Puans later saw influences from present-day [[Vashria]] and [[Iolana]] following human migrations brought about by the [[Mutamarma supereruption]] c. 3100 BCE. The first permanent settlement in Philimania was discovered via archaeological in 1986 in [[Dioran]] dating back to atleast 1200 BCE. | ||
In 837 CE, the [[Vashrian Empire]] was established in [[Vashria]]. This brought Vashrian and [[Proto-Iolonan people|Proto-Iolonan]] customs and languages to Philimania. By then, the Runga Puans had evolved into the indigenous [[Philimanian people]] similar to the Philimanian people of the modern-day. | |||
In | In the subsequent centuries, Philimania became a melting pot of Flonesian culture due to its geographical location between east and west [[Flonesia]]. Philimanians also constructed large, elegant watercraft, with rigged sails called ''{{wp|drua}}'' and exported some of them to Vashria. Philimanians also developed a distinctive style of village architecture, including communal and individual ''[[xagona]]'' housings, and an advanced system of ramparts and moats that were usually constructed around the more important settlements. Additionally, pigs were domesticated for food during the early 3rd century, and a variety of agricultural plantations, such as banana plantations, existed since the early stages of the Runga Puan civilisation. Philimanians lived in societies led by chiefs, elders and notable warriors. Magicians often called ''[[daucaka]]s'', were also important cultural figures, and the production and consumption of {{wp|kava}}s was part of their ceremonial and community rites. | ||
Following the collapse of the Vashrian Empire in 1481, Philimania was plunged into a convoluted conflict known as the [[Veivala War]]. During this period, Philimania was ruled by numerous chiefdoms the most well-known of which is the [[Chiefdom of Dyoruna]]. | |||
With the arrival of Oranishmen during the 16th century, many indigenous Philimanian traditions were suppressed. Early colonists and missionaries pointed to the practice of {{wp|cannibalism}} in Philimania as providing a moral imperative justifying colonization. Oranish colonisers labelled many native Philimanian customs as debased or primitive, enabling many colonists to see Philimania as a "paradise squandered by barbaric cannibals". On the other side of the spectrum, [[Wilhelm Lustig]], the governor of [[New Laughton (colony)|New Laughton]] (1551-1616), wrote that the tasting of the flesh of the enemy was done only on rare occurrences, and only "to indicate supreme hatred and not out of relish for a gastronomic treat". | |||
=== | === Early colonialism === | ||
[[ | Philimania was first discovered by [[Seronia-Sotha]]n explorer [[Vincent Eichinger]] in 1536, sighting a southern island now part of [[Dioran]]. He made landfall on the island in the late afternoon of the 17th of Phupu, giving it the name "[[Eichinger's Island]]". | ||
However, what is now Philimania was not mapped until the [[Flonesian Scramble]] in 1551 by [[Neragon|Neragese]] explorer [[George Kellerman]] who also established the colony of [[New Laughton (colony)|New Laughton]] near present day [[Lensaw]] on 14 Hunyo the same year. The rest of central Philimania was fully colonised in 1564 following numerous conflicts with indigenous people as well as the end of the Veivala War in the autumn of 1560. As a result, thousands of native Philimanians were put into slavery and sold at auction to {{wp|tobacco plantations}} in New Laughton. This provided a source of revenue for the Neragese colonial government and also dispersed the natives to different, often isolated islands where they could not organise and rebel. The land that was occupied by these people before they became slaves was then also sold for additional revenue. In total, an estimated 78,000 Philimanians were sold into slavery. | |||
During this period, settlements such as [[Phorktown]] (1562), [[Phrakingdale]] (1567), [[Esterham]] (1574), and [[Harpville]] (1580) were founded. | |||
In Gunyana of 1571, a group of settlers were killed near the river [[Brades]] by native Philimanians of the [[Malulu tribe]], prompting a large {{wp|punitive expedition}} of Oranish farmers, army veterans and other civilians to be organised. This group of around 300 armed vigilantes, including veterans of the Five Years' War, participated in the [[Battle near Croufield]] against the Malulu tribe. Both sides suffered few casualties and although the Malulus were forced to retreat, they responded with frequent raids on colonial settlements throughout the following weeks. | |||
Although the New Laughton government did not approve of civilians taking justice into their own hands, it did want the Malulu tribe subjugated and their land sold. This resulted in the formation of the [[New Laughton Army]], the predecessor of the [[Philimanian Armed Forces]], under [[Arthur Sudfries]]. | |||
This marked the beginning of the so-called [[Brades War]] lasting from Gunyana of 1571 to 1573. During this time, a force of about 600 men led by Sudfries campaigned through the Philimanian interior in order to annihilate the Malulu tribe. The combined force of the different clans of the Malulu made a last stand at the village of Wataani where they were ultimately defeated by the 16 Memesa 1573 and surrendered to Sudfries's army. About 2,000 of the prisoners (men, women and children) were sent to Phrakingdale where some were hanged and the rest were sold into slavery and forced to work on various plantations throughout the islands. | |||
[[ | Although [[Neragon]] did not officially participate in the [[Flonesian War]], Philimania's waterways became the battlegrounds of numerous military actions including the infamous [[Battle of King Henry's Strait]] in 1584 between the [[Serono-Sotha]]n fleet led by [[Johann Lager]] and the [[Omaran Empire|Omaran]] colonial navy resulting in a decisive victory for Seronia-Sotha, serving as a turning point in the war against the Omaran and [[Paloa]]. | ||
During the [[War of 1602]], an invasion of Philimania was attempted by the Paqueons following their victory at the [[Battle of Verano]] on the 16 Gunyana 1604. In the morning of 20 Gunyana, Philimanian coast guards near the southside of [[Eichinger’s Island]] sighted a fleet of Paqueon ships heading towards Philimania. Two hours later, the fleet bombarded the island which led to its capture and the small fleet of Neragese ships at the island to retreat to the nearby [[Prince Edward’s Island]]. | |||
In the following weeks, the Paqueon fleet made its way north capturing Prince Edward’s Island on the 26th of Gunyana and [[Waraki’i Island]] 4 days later. Although the New Laughton government possessed an army, they were unable to match against the Paqueon fleet who by 3 Okjatab had begun to {{wp|bombardment|bombard}} cities in [[Dioran]] such as [[Phrakingdale]], [[Sudville]] and [[New Weissburg]]; and had blockaded most of Philimania from the rest of Neragons colonial holdings in [[Flonesia]]. | |||
[[File:Battle near Petrali Island.jpg|thumb|17th century depiction of the [[Battle near Petralia Island]].]] | |||
However, Paqueon forces weren’t able to advance further north after the fleet was defeated by a Neragese fleet led by Arthur Sudfries at the [[Battle near Petrali Island]] in Memesa of 1605. This led to a stalemate between the Neragese in Paqueons which was resolved in 1607 when a coordinated attack by Serono-Sothans and Neragese forces from [[New Sotha]], [[New Rubenis]]; and [[Colony of Iolana|Iolana]] respectively broke through the Paqueon blockade on the Philimanian archipelago and drove out invading Paqueon forces by the middle of Marto the same year. | |||
By the end of the war, some 100,000 civilians were killed while about 1,340,000 soldiers were killed on both sides of the conflict. Additionally, around 700,000 houses and other structures were damaged or destroyed due to Paqueon bombing. | |||

<!--The land area of Philimania is 224,805 km² (88,200 sq mi) and is bordered by the Nullaric Ocean on all sides. Philimania is 150.3 kilometres (93.4 miles) north of the {{wp|equator}} and comprises of 3 islands, Philimania, [[West Island]], and [[North Island]]. The islands is surrounded by a coral reef, which is exposed at low tide and dotted with pinnacles. The tallest point in Philimania is [[Mount Phanes]] standing at 976 meters in the West of [[North Philimania]]. The most of inland Philimania is covered by the [[Harodan Rainforest]]. [[North Island]] is mostly covered in swamp known as the [[Retop Lagoon]]. There are 4 rivers in Philimania with the longest of which is the [[Brades River]] which runs from [[Mount Naro]] to the west coast of Philimania.--> | |||

Philimania has a history of strong environment conservation. For example, The northern part of the [[West Island]] are protected under the [[West Island Wildlife Preserve]], which was established in 1957. | |||
While much of Philimania remains free of environmental degradation, areas of concern include illegal {{wp|Blast fishing|dynamite fishing}}, inadequate {{wp|Waste management|solid waste disposal}} facilities in [[Dioran]] and extensive sand and coral dredging in the [[Retop Lagoon]].--> | |||
=== Biodiversity === | |||
Philimania is one of X megadiverse countries in Gentu according to X, and it has the X-most biodiversity per square kilometer of any nation. | |||
Philimania | Philimania has 900 bird species. In addition to more than 10,000 species of plants, the country has 97 endemic reptiles, 138 endemic amphibians, and 4,000 species of butterfly. As of the writing of the plan in 2005, 12% of Philimania's land area was in a protected area; however, the plan also states that 35% of the land must be protected in order to truly preserve the nation's biodiversity. Current [[List of Protected Areas in Philimania|protected areas]] include 10 national parks, 12 wildlife refuges, 7 ecological reserves, and other areas. | ||

Because of the nations close proximity at the equator, Philimania experiences little variation in daylight hours during the course of a year. Both sunrise and sunset occur each day at the two six o'clock hours. | ||
The temperature in Philimania ranges between 30 and 35 °C (86 and 95 °F) at the coast and 30 and 31 °C (86 and 87.8 °F) inland during the day and is quite stable at around 24 °C (75.2 °F) at night. | |||

[[ | [[Foster International Airport]] in [[New Phork]] is the only public airport in Philimania. It provides scheduled direct flights with X, X, X and X. | ||
Freight, military and cruise ships often call at [[Phrakingdale Harbor]], [[Gardton Harbour]], or [[Harpville Harbour]]. Philimania has around 1906 km or 1184.3 mi of highways, only 456 km or 283.3 mi are paved. Driving is on the left and the speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) on most highways. | |||
The railroad network of Philimania is 1626 km long and is traversed daily by up to 30,000 passenger and cargo trains. The partially state-owned largest railroad company [[Philimanian Rail Company]] serves and oeprates a large number of trains, passengers and infrastructure components. Most of the railroad infrastructure is maintained, operated and financed by the [[Philimanian Ministry of Infrastructure|Ministry of Infrastructure]] since 1964. The network is used by regular and high speed trains, most notably the InterCity trains travelling at between 240 km/h (149 mph) to under 370 km/h (230 mph), providing expansive domestic and international rail connections. | |||
[[ | Confined urban underground rapid transit such as the [[New Phork Underground]] are used by approximately 1.757 million passengers daily. Taxis and public transport in general are all well developed mostly in major Philimanian cities but some in smaller cities as well such as [[Bridging]], [[Seerno]] and [[Lensaw]]. | ||

Philimania's population is ethnically diverse and the 2000 census put Philimania's population at 14,088,100. The largest ethnic group (As of 2000) are the [[Philimanian people|Philimanians]], who are mixed race people of [[Neragese people|Neragese]], [[Hestandan people|Hestandan]], and [[Iolonan people|Iolonan]] descent and constitute about 48% of the population. The [[Hestandan people|Hestandan]]s are the second largest ethnic group accounting for 24% of the population. The rest of Philimania's population is a result of a mixture of Oranish immigrants, predominantly from [[Oliea]] and [[Veragon]] with people from [[Cavala]], [[Paloa]], and [[Neragon]] who have settled in the early 20th century. Philimania also has a small population of Hesterish origins, mainly those from the lowlands regions, such as [[Qiuhua]] and [[Samin]] which collectively makes up 4% of the population and whose ancestors arrived as miners, factory workers and fishermen in the mid 19th century during the [[Industrial Revolution (Gentu)|Industrial Revolution]]. The [[Naphto-Philimanian people|Afro-Philimanians]] are a minority population (1.7%) in Philimania, largely based in [[Newton]] and to a lesser degree in X. The remaining 0.1% consists of immigrants from the Domicas and Naphtora. | |||
Philimania has a {{wp|population density}} of 61.6/km² (159.5/sq mi). Being a developed country, Philimania has a {{wp|life expectancy}} of around 80.05 years, 79.72 years for men and 81.94 years for women. Philimania additionally has a very low infant mortality rate of 3.6 boys and 3.3 girls per 1,000 births. Historically the rate of reproduction remained above-average with 1.8 children in the mid 1900s, but deteriorated significantly since then with a period of the {{wp|death rate}} of Philimania exceeding its birth rate and a slightly shrinking population between 1950 and 1970. However, Philimania since then advocated immigration to the country and introduced efforts to stimulate population growth; increased {{wp|birth rates}} and migration numbers curbed the low fertility rate and supported population growth since 1970. | |||
Philimania | Philimania is one of the most important immigration destinations in the world. In a 1999 census, around 4.7 million people (or close to 33.5%) were either of immigrant or partially immigrant descent, and in 2013, 42.9% of all newborn children had atleast one parent born in a foreign country, and 27% atleast one born outside of [[Flonesia]]. Immigration to Philimania is a key factor in supporting its population growth and supply of work forces in light of its aging population. | ||
=== Language === | === Language === | ||
The most widely used language is [[Neragese language|Neragese]] which is also the de facto national language. Approximately 80% of the population speaks Neragese as a first language, with another 9% speaking Hestandan as a first language with only 11% of the population speaking their own native language as a first language. | |||
''TBA'' | |||
<!--Languages introduced to Philimania by {{wp|immigrants}} are numerous and often treated as "unofficial official languages." While the descendants of older migration waves have largely adapted to the linguistic environment of Philimania, immigrants of previous decades, more often factory workers and miners, still frequently use their mother language in their daily lives, most notably {{wp|Chinese}} and {{wp|German}}. Other such "unofficial official languages" includes {{wp|Irish}}, introduced by a large diaspora of Irish people brought by the {{wp|Great Irish Famine}}, {{wp|French}}, and {{wp|Malay}}. The prioritized foreign language taught at public schools is {{wp|Spanish}}, and the second foreign language is often {{wp|French}}, or {{wp|Mandarin}}, more rarely {{wp|German}}.--> | |||

History
Pre-Oranish history
According to indigenous Philimanian oral traditions, Philimania was first settled by marine nomads known as the Runga Puan people from modern-day Manukaia during the Novalithic Age around 6300 BCE, although there are still many open questions about the specific dates and patterns of human migration into Philimania and many other Nullaric islands. the Runga Puans later saw influences from present-day Vashria and Iolana following human migrations brought about by the Mutamarma supereruption c. 3100 BCE. The first permanent settlement in Philimania was discovered via archaeological in 1986 in Dioran dating back to atleast 1200 BCE.
In 837 CE, the Vashrian Empire was established in Vashria. This brought Vashrian and Proto-Iolonan customs and languages to Philimania. By then, the Runga Puans had evolved into the indigenous Philimanian people similar to the Philimanian people of the modern-day.
In the subsequent centuries, Philimania became a melting pot of Flonesian culture due to its geographical location between east and west Flonesia. Philimanians also constructed large, elegant watercraft, with rigged sails called drua and exported some of them to Vashria. Philimanians also developed a distinctive style of village architecture, including communal and individual xagona housings, and an advanced system of ramparts and moats that were usually constructed around the more important settlements. Additionally, pigs were domesticated for food during the early 3rd century, and a variety of agricultural plantations, such as banana plantations, existed since the early stages of the Runga Puan civilisation. Philimanians lived in societies led by chiefs, elders and notable warriors. Magicians often called daucakas, were also important cultural figures, and the production and consumption of kavas was part of their ceremonial and community rites.
Following the collapse of the Vashrian Empire in 1481, Philimania was plunged into a convoluted conflict known as the Veivala War. During this period, Philimania was ruled by numerous chiefdoms the most well-known of which is the Chiefdom of Dyoruna.
With the arrival of Oranishmen during the 16th century, many indigenous Philimanian traditions were suppressed. Early colonists and missionaries pointed to the practice of cannibalism in Philimania as providing a moral imperative justifying colonization. Oranish colonisers labelled many native Philimanian customs as debased or primitive, enabling many colonists to see Philimania as a "paradise squandered by barbaric cannibals". On the other side of the spectrum, Wilhelm Lustig, the governor of New Laughton (1551-1616), wrote that the tasting of the flesh of the enemy was done only on rare occurrences, and only "to indicate supreme hatred and not out of relish for a gastronomic treat".
Early colonialism
Philimania was first discovered by Seronia-Sothan explorer Vincent Eichinger in 1536, sighting a southern island now part of Dioran. He made landfall on the island in the late afternoon of the 17th of Phupu, giving it the name "Eichinger's Island".
However, what is now Philimania was not mapped until the Flonesian Scramble in 1551 by Neragese explorer George Kellerman who also established the colony of New Laughton near present day Lensaw on 14 Hunyo the same year. The rest of central Philimania was fully colonised in 1564 following numerous conflicts with indigenous people as well as the end of the Veivala War in the autumn of 1560. As a result, thousands of native Philimanians were put into slavery and sold at auction to tobacco plantations in New Laughton. This provided a source of revenue for the Neragese colonial government and also dispersed the natives to different, often isolated islands where they could not organise and rebel. The land that was occupied by these people before they became slaves was then also sold for additional revenue. In total, an estimated 78,000 Philimanians were sold into slavery.
During this period, settlements such as Phorktown (1562), Phrakingdale (1567), Esterham (1574), and Harpville (1580) were founded.
In Gunyana of 1571, a group of settlers were killed near the river Brades by native Philimanians of the Malulu tribe, prompting a large punitive expedition of Oranish farmers, army veterans and other civilians to be organised. This group of around 300 armed vigilantes, including veterans of the Five Years' War, participated in the Battle near Croufield against the Malulu tribe. Both sides suffered few casualties and although the Malulus were forced to retreat, they responded with frequent raids on colonial settlements throughout the following weeks.
Although the New Laughton government did not approve of civilians taking justice into their own hands, it did want the Malulu tribe subjugated and their land sold. This resulted in the formation of the New Laughton Army, the predecessor of the Philimanian Armed Forces, under Arthur Sudfries.
This marked the beginning of the so-called Brades War lasting from Gunyana of 1571 to 1573. During this time, a force of about 600 men led by Sudfries campaigned through the Philimanian interior in order to annihilate the Malulu tribe. The combined force of the different clans of the Malulu made a last stand at the village of Wataani where they were ultimately defeated by the 16 Memesa 1573 and surrendered to Sudfries's army. About 2,000 of the prisoners (men, women and children) were sent to Phrakingdale where some were hanged and the rest were sold into slavery and forced to work on various plantations throughout the islands.
Although Neragon did not officially participate in the Flonesian War, Philimania's waterways became the battlegrounds of numerous military actions including the infamous Battle of King Henry's Strait in 1584 between the Serono-Sothan fleet led by Johann Lager and the Omaran colonial navy resulting in a decisive victory for Seronia-Sotha, serving as a turning point in the war against the Omaran and Paloa.
During the War of 1602, an invasion of Philimania was attempted by the Paqueons following their victory at the Battle of Verano on the 16 Gunyana 1604. In the morning of 20 Gunyana, Philimanian coast guards near the southside of Eichinger’s Island sighted a fleet of Paqueon ships heading towards Philimania. Two hours later, the fleet bombarded the island which led to its capture and the small fleet of Neragese ships at the island to retreat to the nearby Prince Edward’s Island.
In the following weeks, the Paqueon fleet made its way north capturing Prince Edward’s Island on the 26th of Gunyana and Waraki’i Island 4 days later. Although the New Laughton government possessed an army, they were unable to match against the Paqueon fleet who by 3 Okjatab had begun to bombard cities in Dioran such as Phrakingdale, Sudville and New Weissburg; and had blockaded most of Philimania from the rest of Neragons colonial holdings in Flonesia.
However, Paqueon forces weren’t able to advance further north after the fleet was defeated by a Neragese fleet led by Arthur Sudfries at the Battle near Petrali Island in Memesa of 1605. This led to a stalemate between the Neragese in Paqueons which was resolved in 1607 when a coordinated attack by Serono-Sothans and Neragese forces from New Sotha, New Rubenis; and Iolana respectively broke through the Paqueon blockade on the Philimanian archipelago and drove out invading Paqueon forces by the middle of Marto the same year.
By the end of the war, some 100,000 civilians were killed while about 1,340,000 soldiers were killed on both sides of the conflict. Additionally, around 700,000 houses and other structures were damaged or destroyed due to Paqueon bombing.

As of the writing of the plan in 2005, 12% of Philimania's land area was in a protected area; however, the plan also states that 35% of the land must be protected in order to truly preserve the nation's biodiversity. Current protected areas include 10 national parks, 12 wildlife refuges, 7 ecological reserves, and other areas.
Climate
Philimania experiences a humid tropical climate with generally cool temperatures and plentiful rainfall all year round. Because of the nations close proximity at the equator, Philimania experiences little variation in daylight hours during the course of a year. Both sunrise and sunset occur each day at the two six o'clock hours.
The temperature in Philimania ranges between 30 and 35 °C (86 and 95 °F) at the coast and 30 and 31 °C (86 and 87.8 °F) inland during the day and is quite stable at around 24 °C (75.2 °F) at night.

Demographics
Ethnic Groups in Philimania (2000)
Philimania's population is ethnically diverse and the 2000 census put Philimania's population at 14,088,100. The largest ethnic group (As of 2000) are the Philimanians, who are mixed race people of Neragese, Hestandan, and Iolonan descent and constitute about 48% of the population. The Hestandans are the second largest ethnic group accounting for 24% of the population. The rest of Philimania's population is a result of a mixture of Oranish immigrants, predominantly from Oliea and Veragon with people from Cavala, Paloa, and Neragon who have settled in the early 20th century. Philimania also has a small population of Hesterish origins, mainly those from the lowlands regions, such as Qiuhua and Samin which collectively makes up 4% of the population and whose ancestors arrived as miners, factory workers and fishermen in the mid 19th century during the Industrial Revolution. The Afro-Philimanians are a minority population (1.7%) in Philimania, largely based in Newton and to a lesser degree in X. The remaining 0.1% consists of immigrants from the Domicas and Naphtora.
Philimania has a population density of 61.6/km² (159.5/sq mi). Being a developed country, Philimania has a life expectancy of around 80.05 years, 79.72 years for men and 81.94 years for women. Philimania additionally has a very low infant mortality rate of 3.6 boys and 3.3 girls per 1,000 births. Historically the rate of reproduction remained above-average with 1.8 children in the mid 1900s, but deteriorated significantly since then with a period of the death rate of Philimania exceeding its birth rate and a slightly shrinking population between 1950 and 1970. However, Philimania since then advocated immigration to the country and introduced efforts to stimulate population growth; increased birth rates and migration numbers curbed the low fertility rate and supported population growth since 1970.
Philimania is one of the most important immigration destinations in the world. In a 1999 census, around 4.7 million people (or close to 33.5%) were either of immigrant or partially immigrant descent, and in 2013, 42.9% of all newborn children had atleast one parent born in a foreign country, and 27% atleast one born outside of Flonesia. Immigration to Philimania is a key factor in supporting its population growth and supply of work forces in light of its aging population.
Language
The most widely used language is Neragese which is also the de facto national language. Approximately 80% of the population speaks Neragese as a first language, with another 9% speaking Hestandan as a first language with only 11% of the population speaking their own native language as a first language.
