-'''[[Thurston Island]]''' is an [[ice]]-covered, [[glacier|glacially]] dissected island, 215 km (134 mi) long, 90 km (56 mi) wide and 15,700 km2 (6,062 sq mi) in area, lying a short way off the northwest end of [[Ellsworth Land]] in [[Westarctica]]. It is Westarctica's largest island, and the third largest island of [[Antarctica]] (after Alexander Island and Berkner Island).

-In June 2005, [[Lovette Mott]] won the title Prince/Princess of Thurston in an auction posted on Ebay. She had specifically sought the title as a graduation present for her daughter, [[Princess of Thurston|Kerry Mott]]. For the first time in Westarctica's history, [[Grand Duke Travis]] arranged a coronation ceremony for the Princess at her family home outside of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This coronation (as opposed to the typical investiture for [[Peerage of Westarctica|nobles]] or [[Orders of Westarctica|knights]]) was intended to signify the royal status of the Principality instead of the merely noble rank of all other Westarctican titles. This royal status placed the Princess of Thurston in the order of succession, but kept her outside the [[Royal Family of Westarctica]].
