The '''[[Marana Accords]]''' are an agreement between [[Westarctica]] and the [[Principality of Kolios]] that resulted in Kolios becoming a protectorate of Westarctica.
The '''[[Invasion of Calsahara|Liberation of Calsahara]]''' occurred on 29 October 2017, when a coalition force formed by [[Westarctica]] and its ally the [[Kingdom of Shiloh]] invaded and conquered Calsahara, a sovereign [[micronation]] located on the [[Carrizo Plain]] of California.  As a result of the successful military operation, [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]] became a colony of Westarctica. Liberation Day is celebrated as a [[Public Holidays in Westarctica|public holiday]] on 29 October.


After Prince Garibald's ascension, he and [[Grand Duke Travis]] met in a small underground cellar in the city of Marana, Arizona to sign the accords that would formally make Kolios a territorial holding of Westarctica. Also present at the signing were [[Duke of Fox Grove]] and Countess Erin of Cloud Ridge.
Calsahara had much in common with Westarctica: it is remote, uninhabited, has a hostile climate, and nobody seems to care too much about it. The territory is also home to 13 endangered species including the [[giant kangaroo rat]], the [[San Joaquin kit fox]], and the [[California condor]].


Prior to the accords, Prince Garibald issued sixteen “Princely Edicts,” initiatives intended to set up and smooth the transition from kingdom to protectorate. The edicts range from the withdrawal of Kolios from the [[Empire of Agber]] to restructuring Koliosian nobility to officially secularizing the government. He also made a number of appointments, elevating Koliosian nobles to higher ranks. In an effort to bridge the two nations, he also created a number of new nobles, drawing them from both Koliosian and Westarctican citizenship rosters. The successful accords resulted in the Provincial Charter of the Westarctican Protectorate of Kolios becoming the new law of Kolios.
After watching Calsahara's government slowly fall into inactivity over the course of 2017, [[Grand Duke Travis]] decided to liberate the nation from its non-resident leadership, and claim the area on behalf of Westarctica. In this way, he would take full responsibility for the continued preservation and protection of the vast uninhabited area.

March to Hooverville.png

The Liberation of Calsahara occurred on 29 October 2017, when a coalition force formed by Westarctica and its ally the Kingdom of Shiloh invaded and conquered Calsahara, a sovereign micronation located on the Carrizo Plain of California. As a result of the successful military operation, Calsahara became a colony of Westarctica. Liberation Day is celebrated as a public holiday on 29 October.

Calsahara had much in common with Westarctica: it is remote, uninhabited, has a hostile climate, and nobody seems to care too much about it. The territory is also home to 13 endangered species including the giant kangaroo rat, the San Joaquin kit fox, and the California condor.

After watching Calsahara's government slowly fall into inactivity over the course of 2017, Grand Duke Travis decided to liberate the nation from its non-resident leadership, and claim the area on behalf of Westarctica. In this way, he would take full responsibility for the continued preservation and protection of the vast uninhabited area.
