History
The Founding of Wesbury
On 10th January 2021, Orinnari sought a new project. He noticed the sickle-shaped area named Brodre on the map, where upon visiting discovered was abandoned to the point where the reinforcements were so decayed as to break on the second hit. On the 26th January 2021, Orinnari officially published the preliminary borders of the newly found nation: the Admiralty of Wesbury.
Treaty troubles with Mount September
During informal discussions of whether Wesbury should join the Augustan Federation, Orinnari noticed certain gaps in policy, notably extradition, which was important to Orinnari given Wesbury's extremely small size, being only ~300 square metres in size. Not wanting to force the Augustan Federation to change its charter however, Orinnari figured the best course of action would be standalone treaties with surrounding nations. The Commonwealth, known for its lax extradition policy, agreed to an arrangement with Wesbury, however Orinnari was primarily focused on Mount September given the concerning fact of it being the spiritual successor to Mount Augusta as well as the largest and closest population centre; that if Wesbury's were to be raided, the raider would most likely either be from Mount September or otherwise need to be extradited from Mount September, thus negotiations began on 16th March 2021. Negotiations deteriorated quickly however since Wesbury was refused a private diplomacy channel, forcing negotiations to happen in public in Mount September's "#foreign-office" channel, allowing AllenY, an esteemed Septembrian, to say without official position that the proposed treaty was fundamentally and irreconcilably incompatible with Mount September's constitution[1]. Just over two weeks later on 4th April 2021, Orinnari tried a different tact, to take Mount September's internal extradition process as a given, but to construct a holding cell on an island that Mount September would claim, allowing Wesbury to securely store pearls while it begins to fix any damage caused by the prisoner. However, the requested exemptions to derelictions laws that were okay'd by AllenY were subsequently denied by RedDevel, Mount September's newly appointed diplomat, stating that Mount September has no interest in a mutually beneficial agreement and that Wesbury should be thankful that Mount September is even entertaining claiming the island to begin with[2]. Negotiations haven't continued since.
Relinquishing Wesbury
In August 2021, Orinnari dismantled the castle he had built in Wesbury, intending to transfer the territory to an interested party should they make themselves known. On 26th August 2021, Dr_Oracle approached Orinnari about Wesbury. The territory was sold to South Augusta on 4th September 2021.
