In May 1603, British and Spanish pilgrims settled on what is now the modern day south coast of the province of [[New Cardiff (Philimania)|New Cardiff]]. They are believed to have established the [[State of New Cardiff]] in which the city of Phrakingdale was founded. Little is known about the pilgrims lives in Philimania but is a well known that over time the British, Spanish and Polynesian on the island had merged into a new group of people known commonly today as the [[Philimanian people|Philimanians]]. By 1620, most of the islands of Philimania were explored and settled, most commonly along the coast as inland Philimania was made of thick jungle. It is unknown how Philimania was formed, but it has been widely agreed by historians that the nation was officially established in July of 1621 when Governor [[Harry Liams]] was appointed as leader of the nation.

On the 7th of March 1634, Philimania was rediscovered by the western world when a Spanish fleet docked at the harbours of Phrakingdale. From at least 1635, Philimanians had regular contact with Europeans on whaling and trading ships who called for provisions and fresh drinking water and supplies. Eventually, a more centralized market would open up in Philimania in 1639 by the Governor of Philimania [[Harry Liams]].

In 1654, the governor passed away and [[The Philimanian Legislative Council]] was formed as a advising body for the new governor [[George Williams]] who in 1657 renamed the position to the [[President of Philimania]].

During the {{wp|Seven Years' War}}, the island of Largoia, now known as [[Long Kingdom]], was ceded from {{wp|Spain}} to Philimania. There were protests on the streets of Largoia after the cedeing and finally on the 10th of August 1768 Largoia [[Long Kingdomian Revolution|revolted]] against Philimania. The general of the Philimanian army, [[Keane Tomlinson]], launched an all-out assault on the beaches of Largoia with insignificant losses. But in October {{wp|Spain}} declared war on Philimania and their forces were driven off of Largoia, but not after a final stand at the [[Battle of Pices Beach]]. It was estimated that Spanish and Largoian forces suffered twice as much as the Philimanians.

By February 1769, Spanish and Long Kingdomian forces were pushing Philimanian forces onto their own island. Eventually, they reached [[Phorktown]], where Philimania managed to kick out the invaders at the [[Battle of Phorktown Hill]] with both sides suffered heavy losses. The war ended in a stalemate but Philimania was forced to give up Largoia during the [[Treaty of Phorktown]] in March of 1770.

Over the course of the nineteenth century, Philimania's population grew from 1.2 million to 12 million. The {{wp|Great Irish Famine}} brought a large influx of Irish immigrants; more than 500,000 were living in Philimania by 1860. There was also extensive immigration from the German provinces, where revolutions had disrupted societies, and Germans comprised another 20% of Philimania's population by 1880.

The beginning of the {{wp|Industrial Revolution}} in Philimania is usually pegged to the opening of a textile factory in [[Stefshire]], [[Dioran]], in 1802 by the recent English immigrant [[John Chamberlain]]. The Industrial Revolution in Philimania led to a boost of the production of Philimanian goods such as textile, timber, and coal. The industrialization soon led to the founding of the [[Philimanian Rail Company]] in 1847 and the construction of the [[Philimanian InterCity Network]] from May 1847 to August 1859 which sped up transportation of goods and people. In 1911, the [[Phorktown Subway]] opened, making Philimania the first nation in {{wp|South America}} to do so.
