Pennsylvania was founded in 1681 through a royal land grant to William Penn, son of the state's namesake; a southeast portion of the state was once part of the colony of New Sweden. Established as a haven for religious and political tolerance, the Province of Pennsylvania was known for its relatively peaceful relations with native tribes, innovative government system, and religious pluralism. Pennsylvania was one of thirteen British colonies from which the nation was formed.
With the outbreak of the Millenium War, Pennsylvania turned into an unlawful hellhole until 2002, when the Pennsylvania National Guard took control, turning the country into a military dictatorship until they were overthrown in 2016. In October 2017, free elections took place.
