The Principality of Guerreria was founded by Prince Leland I and Princess Anne on January 17, 1971 (as the story goes) on land owned by Leland I's parents in the Rosewood community of western Wayne County, North Carolina, USA. In 1983, Leland I bought land across the property and began renting it out to tenants. As years progressed, family tensions forced Leland I to move his family to the land purchased in 1983. From 1991 until 2009, Guerreria was all but dead. Lack of time spent on it and general family issues forced inoperations in the government. In 2009, Prince Leland Royce, the youngest of Prince Leland I's two sons, "revived" the principality.
Upon the death of Princess Anne on August 16, 2010, Leland I abdicated as sovereign of the principality in favor of his oldest son, who became Prince Andrew I. Prince Andrew's only official duties were to oversee the burial of his mother. The reigns of government did not suit him, therefore, he abdicated the throne in favor of his brother, who became Prince Leland II.
Once taking the reigns of government, Leland II proceeded to take Guerreria as far as he possibly could. Leland II began appointing an actual legislative government, writing a constitution and other laws. As well as designing the national flag, Leland II also designed the flags for the four provinces of his nation. Under his leadership, Guerreria took to the internet with a Facebook page, Prince Leland II's personal page and, ultimately, a website.
On June 15, 2015, massive political upheaval took place within the country. Austin province's northern district was forcibly seized by the State of North Carolina. As a result, Duke Leland I and Duchess Elizabeth abandoned the country and the Prince. Their peerage was stripped from them, they were exiled from all Guerrerian lands and the provinces of Florence and Rosewood have been relinquished to the State of North Carolina.
