Philimania was first inhabited by native {{wp|Polynesians}} before its founding. Philimania was founded in 1603 by British explorers who were hoping to discover new land for the {{wp|British Empire}} west of The Americas, unfortunately, their ship sank in a storm. The survivors managed to get on to the island where they settled down and named it Philimania after the native islanders.
Philimania was first inhabited by native {{wp|Polynesians}} before its founding. Philimania was discovered in 1621 by British and Spanish pilgrims whom fled their homelands to escape persecution.


Philimania is a developed country, with a high national GDP of P$1.342 trillion. The per capita GDP of P$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 dollars 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.

== Etymology ==
== Etymology ==
The national animal of Philimania is the [[Wee-Wee Fish]] which is a type of fish that is only found around Philimania. The term 'Wee-Wee' comes from the person that discovered this species who is known as [[Hilda Wee-Wee]].


The term 'Philimania' is believed by historian to have come from the name of the Polynesian tribe that once lived on the island.

=== Pre-Discovery ===
=== Early history ===


Philimania was first settled by Polynesians around the 700 AD. The islanders lived in relative peace until the islands were discovered in 1603.
Philimania was originally settled between the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE, most likely from {{wp|New Zealand}} and {{wp|Polynesian}}. Philimania was first discovered by British and Spanish pilgrims around May of 1603.


=== Discovery, and The Seven Years War ===
=== British and Spanish pilgrims ===


When the explorers landed on the islands in 1603, they were greeted by the natives. The native islanders, being peaceful people, welcomed them. The stranded explorers made friend with the natives and they learned to adapt to the local environment and survive. By 1620, the British and the natives have merged into one type of people. and on 19 July 1621, the Republic of Philimania was founded and named after the chief of the Polynesians at that time.
In 1603, the British and Spanish pilgrims settled on what is now the south coast of the province of [[New Cardiff]], and established the [[State of New Cardiff]]. There, they founded the city of [[Phrakingdale]].


In 1631, the Philimania is discovered by {{wp|Spanish}} Explorers. Philimania eventually opened trading posts along the coast to trade with the Spanish, and eventually {{wp|Britain}} and {{wp|France}} in 1700. During {{wp|The Seven Years War}}, Philimania sides with Britain, managing to seize the Spanish occupied island of Largoia later known as [[Long Kingdom]] with insignificant losses.
Over time, the pilgrims and the natives mingled together, and formed a new ethnic group known as [[Philimanian People|Philimanians]].
 
By 1615, the entire Philimanian islands has been explored and settled forming many semi-independent states.
 
=== Spanish Discovery and the Seven Years War ===
 
[[File:Florentine School, 17th Century Portrait.jpg|thumb|Harry Liam, Governor of Philimania from 1621 to his death in 1654.]]
 
In 1621, Philimania was discovered by {{wp|Spanish}} Explorers. the Philimanians knew that if they were not united, they would be invaded by them, so, in 19 July 1621 [[Unification of Philimania|Philimania was unified]] under one banner. and a governor, known as [[Harry Liam]] was appointed to rule Philimania. In 1654, the governor passed away and [[The Philimanian Legislative Council]] was formed.
 
Eventually Philimania opened trading posts along the coast to trade with the Spanish, and eventually {{wp|Britain}} and {{wp|France}} in the late 17th Century. During {{wp|The Seven Years War}}, Spain declared war on Philimania so they sided with Britain, managing to seize the Spanish occupied island of Largoia later known as [[Long Kingdom]] with insignificant losses.

Following The Seven Years War, in 1768, Philimania's economy started to deteriorate. So on July 23rd in that year, the president at that time, [[Kareen Rallington]] passed an act known as the [[Comertua Act]], it states that taxes in Largoia would be raised by 20% and that Philimanian goods bought or sold would cost twice as much. The Largoian were not at all happy.

On August 6th 1768, Largoian revolutionist [[Adrián Espejo]] and around 500 other Largoians took to the streets of [[Browningham]], the new capital of Largoia. After a series of protests, the Philimanian soldiers were sent in to deal with the protesters. as soon as the army entered the city, rocks were thrown at them. The soldiers, overwhelmed by the number of protesters, fired. 53 protesters were killed and this event would be known as the [[Browningham Massacre]]. The news of this event spreaded like wildfire throughout Philimania. The Largoian were outraged, so they armed themselves with weapons and revolted against Philimania.

The [[Long Kingdomian Revolution]] officially started on the morning of August 10th 1768. The general of the Philimanian army at that time, [[Keane Tomlinson]], launched an all-out assault on the beaches of Largoia with insignificant losses. By October, the Long Kingdomian Revolution seemed to be coming to a close for all Long Kingdomian units have either been surrounded or captured, But, a month ago, a Long Kingdomian ambassador was sent to {{wp|Spain}} to ask them for help, the Spanish agreed. So on the 5th of November in that year, Philimanian forces were driven off the island, but not after a final stand at the [[Battle of Pices Beach]]. It was estimated that Spain and The Long Kingdom suffered twice as much as Philimania.

By February 1769, Spanish and Long Kingdomian forces were pushing Philimanian forces into their own island. Eventually, they reached [[Phorktown]], the capital of Philimania where the Philimanians made a last-ditch attempt to drive out their enemy at the [[Battle of Phorktown hill]]. Both sides suffered heavy losses, the battle lasted for a total of 13 months and ended in the surrender of the Philimanian forces. So on March 15th 1770, Philimania surrenders to the Spanish and Long Kingdomian ending the Long Kingdomian Revolution. Philimania was forced to give Largio independence and pay 17 billion dollars in reparations.

3 centuries came and went and nothing eventful has really happened until December 6th 1978 when Philimania joins the {{wp|United Nations}}. Then, on June 27th 2005, the capitol building in New Phork was bombed by {{wp|Muslim terrorists}}, killing 5 people. Luckily, no one important was killed.

Personal transportation is dominated by automobiles, which operates on a system of 21,564 miles (34,703.894 kilometres) of roads. Philimania has one of the smallest automotive industries in the world.
The architecture of Philimania is a mixture of Polynesian, English, {{wp|North American}}, modern, and postmodern architecture mix. Philimania's notable buildings were built around the 18th and early 19th centuries. These buildings were designed in a number of styles – Mock Tudor, Neo-Gothic or Grecian-Spanish style architecture. Most of the styling has been modified to use local resources and acclimatised to the local climate, which is tropical and humid all year around.


There are no public transport systems. Bus, rail, and subway systems do exist, but they are privately owned and operated. Many people in urban areas walk or bike to work to avoid traffic and transit fees.
Late modern and postmodern architecture began to appear in the earky-1960s and early-1980s. With the economic development, old buildings have been razed to make way for new ones. Buildings with all-glass shells exist throughout the city, with the most prominent examples being the [[Admira Centre]] in [[Phorktown]].  


The civil airline industry is also privately owned. Unlike most other industrialized nations, most airports are privately owned and run. [[Foster International Airport]] is one of the busiest in America, serving not only Philimania, but airlines in {{wp|Ecuador}}, {{wp|Peru}}, and {{wp|Columbia}} as well.

Philimania covers over 20 thousand square kilometres and has a population of over 5 million. The nation consists of 4 provinces.

Philimania was first inhabited by native Polynesians before its founding. Philimania was discovered in 1621 by British and Spanish pilgrims whom fled their homelands to escape persecution.

Philimania is a developed country, with a high national GDP of P$1.342 trillion. The per capita GDP of P$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 dollars 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. Philimania is a small power, as well as a member of several international organizations, including the United Nations.

Etymology

The term 'Philimania' is believed by historian to have come from the name of the Polynesian tribe that once lived on the island.

History

Early history

Philimania was originally settled between the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE, most likely from New Zealand and Polynesian. Philimania was first discovered by British and Spanish pilgrims around May of 1603.

British and Spanish pilgrims

In 1603, the British and Spanish pilgrims settled on what is now the south coast of the province of New Cardiff, and established the State of New Cardiff. There, they founded the city of Phrakingdale.

Over time, the pilgrims and the natives mingled together, and formed a new ethnic group known as Philimanians.

By 1615, the entire Philimanian islands has been explored and settled forming many semi-independent states.

Spanish Discovery and the Seven Years War

Harry Liam, Governor of Philimania from 1621 to his death in 1654.

In 1621, Philimania was discovered by Spanish Explorers. the Philimanians knew that if they were not united, they would be invaded by them, so, in 19 July 1621 Philimania was unified under one banner. and a governor, known as Harry Liam was appointed to rule Philimania. In 1654, the governor passed away and The Philimanian Legislative Council was formed.

Eventually Philimania opened trading posts along the coast to trade with the Spanish, and eventually Britain and France in the late 17th Century. During The Seven Years War, Spain declared war on Philimania so they sided with Britain, managing to seize the Spanish occupied island of Largoia later known as Long Kingdom with insignificant losses.

The Long Kingdomian Revolt

Following The Seven Years War, in 1768, Philimania's economy started to deteriorate. So on July 23rd in that year, the president at that time, Kareen Rallington passed an act known as the Comertua Act, it states that taxes in Largoia would be raised by 20% and that Philimanian goods bought or sold would cost twice as much. The Largoian were not at all happy.

On August 6th 1768, Largoian revolutionist Adrián Espejo and around 500 other Largoians took to the streets of Browningham, the new capital of Largoia. After a series of protests, the Philimanian soldiers were sent in to deal with the protesters. as soon as the army entered the city, rocks were thrown at them. The soldiers, overwhelmed by the number of protesters fired on them. 53 protesters were killed and this event would be known as the Browningham Massacre. The news of this event spreaded like wildfire throughout Philimania. The Largoian were outraged, so they armed themselves with weapons and revolted against Philimania.

Drawing of the Battle of Phorktown Hill a battle in the Long Kingdomian Revolution 1769.

The Long Kingdomian Revolution officially started on the morning of August 10th 1768. The general of the Philimanian army at that time, Keane Tomlinson, launched an all-out assault on the beaches of Largoia with insignificant losses. By October, the Long Kingdomian Revolution seemed to be coming to a close for all Long Kingdomian units have either been surrounded or captured, But, a month ago, a Long Kingdomian ambassador was sent to Spain to ask them for help, the Spanish agreed. So on the 5th of November in that year, Philimanian forces were driven off the island, but not after a final stand at the Battle of Pices Beach. It was estimated that Spain and The Long Kingdom suffered twice as much as Philimania.

By February 1769, Spanish and Long Kingdomian forces were pushing Philimanian forces into their own island. Eventually, they reached Phorktown, the capital of Philimania where the Philimanians made a last-ditch attempt to drive out their enemy at the Battle of Phorktown hill. Both sides suffered heavy losses, the battle lasted for a total of 13 months and ended in the surrender of the Philimanian forces. So on March 15th 1770, Philimania surrenders to the Spanish and Long Kingdomian ending the Long Kingdomian Revolution and Philimania was forced to give Largio independence.

The Modern Era

After the war, in 1771, a new city named New Phork was built by Henry Phork to the north of Phorktown. New Phork became the new capital in 1899 by president Mahad Sanders.

During World War 1 and 2, the Philimanian Armed Forces were on standby incase of an invasion.

On December 6th 1978, Philimania joins the United Nations.
