Captain-General of Calsahara
The Captain-General of Calsahara is the military governor of the Colony of Calsahara. The position answers directly to the Grand Duke of Westarctica and has overall responsibility for the administration and management of the Colony.
The current Captain-General is Damien Kramer.
Creation of office
On 29 October 2017, Grand Duke Travis led the Westarctican Royal Guards across the border of the Seven Seas of Rhye and liberated Calsahara from the negligent rule of its absentee government led by King Nicholas and Grand Chancellor Arledge.
After King Nicholas was unseated from his throne, he was elevated to the position of Viceroy of Calsahara, the representative of the Crown of Westarctica in Calsahara. To help maintain good order and balance out the power of the Viceroy, the Grand Duke also appointed a military governor with the rank of Captain-General.
A major part of the Captain-General's duties include signing and stamping all grants of Manorial Rights in the Colonial Estates.
