The Realm of Calsahara was a 120-acre micronation located near the tiny community of California Valley, California, just north of the [[Carrizo Plain]] National Monument, a protected natural area of the United States.  It existed as an independent country starting 24 November 2009 and was ruled by various leaders, but at the time of the invasion, the monarch was [[Prince Daniel Nicholas|King Nicholas]], who had not visited his nation since 2011.

Calsahara had much in common with Westarctica: it is remote, uninhabited, has a hostile climate, and nobody seems to care too much about it. The territory is also home to 13 endangered species including the [[giant kangaroo rat]], the [[San Joaquin kit fox]], and the black-tailed jackrabbit.

After watching Calsahara's government slowly fall into inactivity over the course of 2017, [[Grand Duke Travis]] decided to liberate the nation from its non-resident leadership, and claim the area on behalf of Westarctica. In this way, he would take full responsibility for the continued preservation and protection of the vast uninhabited area.
