History
2023
The Free State of Wetherill was founded by Jebediah 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. This influence primarily came from the Kingdom of Nortenland, which Wetherill held positive relations with during its early existence. 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. Sometime in 2023, the Free State of Wetherill abandoned any pretense of upholding Anglo-Saxon ideas.
2024
On 5 February 2024, the Free State of Wetherill secularized and adopted Marxism-Leninism as its social and economic doctrine. On 4 April 2024, the title of Headman was changed to General-Secretary to better represent the values of Wetherill. On 5 August 2024, the Free State of Wetherill moved towards Leninism as its state ideology, abandoning the Stalinist influenced ideas and doctrines of Marxism-Leninism. On 6 August 2024, Wetherill took steps to become more democratic.
