'''[[Whaling in Japan]]''' is estimated to have begun around the 12th century. However, Japanese whaling on an industrial scale began around the 1890s when Japan began to participate in the modern [[whaling]] industry, at that time an industry in which many countries participated. Japanese whaling activities have historically extended far outside Japanese territorial waters, even into whale sanctuaries protected by other countries.
On 10 April 2015, the day before '''[[MicroCon 2015]]''' was scheduled to occur, President Baugh organized a group tour of Hollywood, California. The tour was led by local Los Angeles resident, [[Grand Duke Travis]] and his [[Consorts of Westarctica|royal consort]], [[Prince-Consort Dinny]].


Starting in 2016, [[Westarctica]] took an active approach to fight Japan's illegal [[whaling]] operation in the [[Southern Ocean]]. Westarctica's primary weapon of war involves publicly shaming executives and scientists who work for the Japanese whaling companies. It has also created public service advertisements (distributed through paid ads on Facebook) to encourage Japanese citizens to boycott whale meat.
As a former professional actor and filmmaker, Grand Duke Travis was uniquely suited to lead the tour of Hollywood Boulevard. Also on the tour were [[King Christopher of Vikesland]], [[Prince Arthur of Homestead]], [[Baron Stogner]], Commodore Jonathan Miller and his wife [[Katie Bellis Miller]], in addition to President Baugh and the First Family of Molossia.

On 10 April 2015, the day before MicroCon 2015 was scheduled to occur, President Baugh organized a group tour of Hollywood, California. The tour was led by local Los Angeles resident, Grand Duke Travis and his royal consort, Prince-Consort Dinny.

As a former professional actor and filmmaker, Grand Duke Travis was uniquely suited to lead the tour of Hollywood Boulevard. Also on the tour were King Christopher of Vikesland, Prince Arthur of Homestead, Baron Stogner, Commodore Jonathan Miller and his wife Katie Bellis Miller, in addition to President Baugh and the First Family of Molossia.

Matt Roth snapped this picture of them in the outer courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theater where Grand Duke Travis explained the history of the majestic location. Afterward, the group was hungry and decided to dine at the adjacent Pig & Whistle restaurant where they were seated together at a large group table.
