Early History
Settled in 1853 by Franciscan missionaries on the island of Nua Wantagh, Laidir was originally a major port for whaling and shellfish with local farmers specializing in potato, poultry, and huckleberry cultivation. The Catholic Church was well-received by the native population, which was made up of 11 tribes, each specializing in its own form of hunting, farming, or construction. Eventually, Catholic refugees from Europe and the Levant arrived to establish a pan-ethnic moderately secular Catholic state. In 1886, Thomas Whelan led a counter-insurgency campaign against a Marxist death squad, the Revolutionary Armed Corps or RAC. The RAC carried out kidnappings, assassinations, and political intimidation against clergy, tribal chiefs, and local police commanders. Whelan assembled The Furtims, an elite military unit which infiltrated and eventually decapitated the RAC. For this, Whelan was granted the title King Thomas I of Nua Wantagh by the people of the fledgling kingdom.
