=== Early Beginnings ===
=== Early Beginnings ===
Philadelphia spent the first half of May pretty stagnant, as everyone was focused on college. Once Mattbob153 and __naagy's finals ended, they began rapidly constructing several major landmarks and heavily recruiting residents. In this period of late May and early June, City Hall, Reading Terminal Market, a majority of the prebuilt shops, and the Comcast Technology Center was all built. While __naagy held mayor, Mattbob153, thickman, and another friend Drewbob_28_ were given councillor as __naagy didn't feel like setting up specific permissions. __naagy spent most of his time when not building to heavily recruit new residents, and Philadelphia exploded in population and was steadily in the top 5-15 largest cities in the United States by both population and claims. During this time, several notable members like [[yergmite]], [[VreikOG]], alktat, and crabofcrabland joined. By early June, Mattbob153 and __naagy joined the America Discord to involve themselves in national politics. While Mattbob153 tried to get involved in the Public Works department, __naagy very quickly made enemies with thearbysworker, mayor of St. Willis, and later Conleft, mayor of Delaware, both of which will become important later. Mattbob153 would later represent Philadelphia in the 2nd and 3rd Congress and later Secretary of Public Works under Presidents [[sayerleft]] and [[Flippizzacake]].
