Present Information

The Republic of Wathorn, or as it is derogatorily called by Corvos and Pizzaiata, the so-called Wathorn Republic, is a small, newly-created state based on the Wathorn River Delta and encompassing the three towns of Heraldsdown, Linford and New Town. It was created during the Deianiran occupation of Corvos during Operation Rhine, which called for a democratic state to be created in a small part of Corvos whilst the rest of the country was annexed to Deianira. However, this plan met massive opposition from the Dimwit dictatorship of Corvos and its allies in the PTO. The only part of Operation Rhine implemented was the creation of the Wathorn Republic.

Deianira has now withdrawn from Corvos to deal with its own civil war, leaving the Wathorn Republic to fend for itself - with a healthy supply of Deianiran arms and equipment left behind for them. The Wathorn Republic recently held elections that brought in the only candidate standing - Jonathan Smithley - as President. Only 40% of the potential voter population registered and cast their ballot. The Wathorn Republic faces two major threats to its existence: pressure from the People's Dictatorship of Corvos, which now controls the rest of the country and is reforming itself; and the popular and growing guerrilla Wathorn Liberation Army, which is fighting for reunification with the Iron-Fisted People's Dictator, Paulus Dimwit.
