Various native Cappedorite tribes inhabited the lands around the [[Driftwood Harbour]] since antiquity, and tribal kingdoms sprung up in the southwestern region of Cappedore during the middle ages before the [[Discovery of Cappedore|accidental arrival]] of [[Staynish]] settlers in 1609. Before its establishment as a republic, Wealden existed as a tributary Archduchy state to the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]], with 5 of its 30 present day states existing as sub-duchies within the United Archduchy of Cappedore. The nation would eventually gain its independence from the Staynish in 1730, with the kingdoms of Thomaria and Wealden joining its ranks, albeit causing long-term division in the country that would eventually spill over in the 20th and 21st centuries. |

Wealden celebrates a [[w:Lumber|strong lumber-based production economy]], with the [[w:Wood industry|timber industry]] producing over 500 billion Wealdenite Staters per annum. The economy relies heavily on that of the state of [[New Cumberland]], Wealden's largest state, which produces over ₴4,700 in timber exports per day. Wealden also prospers from a large industry in Arms Manufacturing, especially in naval and aerospace matters - the industry makes over ₴5,250 per day, however this is substantial compared to its peak in January 2020, where it produced over ₴14k per day. A greater Wealdenite focus on tourism and [[w:Trout#River fishing|trout fishing]] between the years 2021-22 helped stabilise the economy. |
