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.
The '''[[Principality of Aigues-Mortes]]''' is a [[micronation]] created to promote and support local initiatives of the eponymous city, located in Southern France, 23km east of Montpellier. The Principality of Aigues-Mortes engages in relations with other [[micronation]]s, having signed treaties with many countries. In February 2018, Chancellor Olivier de Constance was hosted for a diplomatic visit at the Grand Ducal Apartments in Los Angeles, California by Grand Duke Travis and Prince-Consort Dinny where he was invested as a Knight Commander in the [[Order of the Snowflake]].
