Its lord is ex officio the Prince of Whales, Kir. Along with the lordships of Walhafen and Gakkotsudzuka, it forms the Walstadt urban area.

Founded in 1591 by whalers from (Rossheim-Slavonia-Volksburg and other parts of the Kingdom of Sangun, Riskai and the Idunn Isles), it quickly grew in prominence and was raised to a principality the following year (1592), the principality to which the current Whales is a direct successor.

Misspelling as Wahlstadt or Whalstadt

One explanation for the misspelling of Walstadt as Wahlstadt or Whalstadt is based on the spelling of the city's name in the Ludwiggian script, which was also used in Walstadt in the ancient past. This script does not have a w, but makes that sound by adding an h to the v. A long letter a, such as in the first part of Walstadt, is also formed by adding an h. As such, the city's name is written as VHAHLSTADT, or: Template:Natopia article
