History
The Free State of Wetherill was founded by Hunt Powell on 5 February 2023, primarily as a polity to carry out activities that Powell could not achieve with the State of Faltree. Wetherill was founded with significant Anglo-Saxon influence as the name Wetherill is of Anglo-Saxon origin and the title of Headman is of similar origin. Wetherill remained generally inactive until the dissolution of Faltree on 20 April 2023, wherein Powell shifted some attention to leading the state. Following the political Satanist effort to "revive" Faltree, the Free State of Wetherill issued a warning to the Federation of Faltree, de-facto a Malusian puppet state, but soon ignored the issue and the Federation later dissolved on 10 May 2023. Since this, Wetherill remained largely inactive due to lack of attention from Powell due to dedication towards other affairs.
Foreign relations
Wetherill only maintains relations, informally, with the Kingdom of Nortenland.
