When the territory of Westarctica was first claimed in 2001, the country largely followed the religious inclination of its leader, [[Grand Duke Travis|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 of the Achaean Territory|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). | When the territory of Westarctica was first claimed in 2001 as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]], the country largely followed the religious inclination of its leader, [[Grand Duke Travis|Consul-General Travis McHenry]].

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 [[Consular Crown|crown]] used was a solid gold circlet carved in the shape of a laurel wreath in the style of a Roman civic crown. | 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'').
