The '''[[Supreme Diet]]''' was the legislative assembly of the [[Colony of Calsahara|Kingdom of Calsahara]] during the time it was an independent [[micronation]]. The building was a church in Yorba Linda, California. At the time it was utilized by the government of Calsahara, the head pastor was [[Grand Duke Travis]]' father-in-law.
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.


Shortly after Calsahara was founded, Travis (at the time reigning as [[King of Calsahara|King Montage]]) realized the utility of having access to a large assembly hall for giving speeches and facilitating gatherings of Calsahara's citizens. Several of the Chancellors of Calsahara were also members of the church and even served in various administrative capacities, making it an ideal location to gather them together for public speeches.

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.
