The role of religion in Westarctica is an area of only limited social concern by the country's government and peoples. Westarctica distinguishes itself from many other sovereign nations in that it does not place religious restrictions nor enforce religious laws or edicts on any of its citizens, nor does it limit the availability of diplomatic visas for entry or exit from the country's borders for religious reasons.
Religion in the Achaean Territory
When the territory of Westarctica was first claimed in 2001, the country largely followed the religious inclination of its leader, Consul-General Travis McHenry. The trend among many of the nobles at that time was a general sense of agnostic irreligion. However, the Consul-General himself was a semi-practicing Classical Pantheist who predominantly worshiped the gods of the ancient Greek Pantheon as well as Alexander the Great (who was considered by the Egyptians and the Persians to be a living god, and later, by the Greeks as member of the Pantheon).
Thus, Classical Pantheism showed its mark on the naming of the territory itself (Achaea is a region of ancient Greece) as well as the naming of Achaea's capital city (Achilles, after the mythological hero of The Iliad). The Coronation of the Consul-General occurred in a castle utilized by Alexander the Great during his conquest of Asia Minor (Turkey) and the crown used was a solid gold circlet carved in the shape of a laurel wreath in the style of a Roman civic crown.
