| abstract | - Weishaupt is the second largest city in New Libertaria. The city is a major center of religious study and is the home of the Ecumenical Council. Known for its religious diversity, the city draws on tourism from Christian nations and those practicing Eastern Faiths. The city of Weishaupt was founded during the nation’s rule by the Dutch Empire, and the city founders consisted mostly of Freemasons and others who were active in the organization of fraternal organizations that were often frowned upon in Europe’s polite society. The city was named after Adam Weishaupt, the individual most associated with the Bavarian Illuminati, but is also recognized by some as a revered figure of the enlightenment. The architectural style of Weishaupt is a blend of Gothic-oriented buildings mixed with progressive architectural styles such as Bauhaus and post-modern design, reflecting a clearly Masonic influence. Weishaupt is also the home city of the Ecumenical Council, which is responsible for facilitating religious harmony in the diverse nation. The meeting place of the Ecumenical Council is the former Grand Masonic Lodge #1, which became the fortress of the Ecumenical Defense League during the overthrow of the tyrant King Benedict II. Weishaupt sits on the eastern coast of the South Island, slightly to the southeast of New Rotterdam and northeast of Framboise. It is the site of a harbor which sports one of the largest coral reefs in the world, just slightly smaller than the Great Barrier Reef.
