The colonization of Timbia almost started by accident, when a [[Daxia]]n vessel captained by [[South_Seas_Development_Company|Xi Haifong]] suffered a major scurvy outbreak south of [[Zhijun]] and decided to deviate off its course to find land. The landmass they found turned out to be [[Peratra]]and it was deemed interesting enough for another expedition. Captain Haifong sailed back and he who established the first company trading post in a natural bay in what is now [[Rakin]] in 1642, where the natives could go and trade freely with the [[Daxia]]ns. Two years later a new [[Daxia]]n community was founded at the cape of hope on the northwestern part of the island, named after the fact it brought hope to the ill sailors who discovered it. The [[Daxia]]ns called this city Xīwàng but is now known as the regional capital Faamoemoe. | The colonization of Timbia almost started by accident, when a [[Daxia]]n vessel captained by [[South_Seas_Development_Company|Xi Haifong]] suffered a major scurvy outbreak south of [[Zhijun]] and decided to deviate off its course to find land.
