The island, which was likely unknown to Audonians at the time of its discovery and colonization, was the site of Protestant refugee settlement in the wake of the [[Great Confessional War]] in [[Levantia]]. The island served as a primarily self-governing [[Pharisedom]] and refuge with important but limited trade importance - primarily in whaling - until the rise of steam power, after which time Medimeria became an important coaling station. Its importance to Burgundie gradually declined after the [[First Great War]]. In the 21st century, the presence of {{wp|Phosphorite|phosphorite}} was detected on the island, giving the island a major natural resource export. It became strategically relevant to [[Urcea]] during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], beginning a period of Urcean investment and presence on the island. In [[2014]], it was ceded to Urcea in exchange for [[Antilles]] | The island, which was likely unknown to Audonians at the time of its discovery and colonization, was the site of Protestant refugee settlement in the wake of the [[Great Confessional War]] in [[Levantia]].
