In June 2010, after a participating in a prolonged conflict with a group of rival micronations led by the Grand Duchy of Flandrensis, the ruler of Westarctica, Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence, was removed from power in a coup and replaced by Travis McHenry and Wolf Tulier, the newly-proclaimed Prime Minister of Westarctica. On 24 September 2010, representatives from all parties signed the treaty.
