Deputy Minister of Defense
In late 2005, when the Ministry of Defense was created by Grand Duke Travis and the Duke of Waesche (at that time, Count of Waesche), Mr. Thompson's talents and ambition were already apparent and he was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Defense. The Baron of Lee-Tearmunn remained in the post only a short while, but participated in the creation of the Royal Officer Corps.
Retirement from the government
In early 2006, just weeks before Grand Duke Travis abdicated the throne, the Baron asked to be relieved from his duties so he could begin his own micronation known as the Principality of Jerusalem.
In 2012, Grand Duke Travis reached out to Lee-Tearmunn to inquire about the possibility of returning to service in the cabinet of Westarctica. However, the Baron respectfully declined the offer due to his commitments as Prince of Jerusalem.
