The '''[[Barony of Brandenburg]]''' is one of three baronies inside the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. Baron of Brandenburg is a peerage title in the [[Nobility of Calsahara]]. Its motto is: "The Gateway to Calsahara."
The '''[[Whitmore Mountains]]''' are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the [[Marie Byrd Land]] region of [[Westarctica]]. They consist of three small mountains and a cluster of [[nunatak]]s arranged in a semicircular pattern extending over 15 miles. When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of [[Antarctica]], [[Grand Duke Travis]] was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, [[Viscount of Whitmore|Neil Whitmoyer]]. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.


Brandenburg is a narrow strip of land located on the border with the United States. It runs along the shore of the [[Seven Seas of Rhye]] inside the Duchy of Chutney and Monte Cristo County. The barony is an important place in Calsahara as it contains the only navigable entry and exit point to enter or leave the colony in a vehicle. This point, a natural depression which sometimes floods, is called "the Brandenburg Gate," although there is no gate present.

Whitmore Mountains - Mt Chapman.jpg

The Whitmore Mountains are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the Marie Byrd Land region of Westarctica. They consist of three small mountains and a cluster of nunataks arranged in a semicircular pattern extending over 15 miles. When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of Antarctica, Grand Duke Travis was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, Neil Whitmoyer. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.
