The first step taken by the Consul-General was the creation of an informational website to share the existence of the Achaean Territory with the rest of the world. He purchased the domain name www.achaea.org and created a website using Geocities with a Yahoo account registered under the username ''achaeanterritory''.

From 15 November 2001 - June 2002, the Consul-General spent the majority of his time reaching out to polar scientists and trying to gather friends to serve as members of the nobility. He gave titles to numerous friends, including [[Viscount of Whitmore|Neil Whitmoyer]], [[Baron of Havola|George Morin]], [[Countess Radlinski|Jeanne Morin]], and [[Count of Kohler|Joseph Day]]. Although they were expected to take their rightful places as Achaea's legislature, most of these new nobles did little to participate in the growth of the Achaean Territory, aside from Neil Whitmoyer, who actively encouraged the Consul-General and even posed for a picture wearing the Achaean Greatcoat, a semi-official uniform item for Achaean nobles.

The structure of the nobility and the ranks of the nobles were adjusted several times from 2002 - 2004. In early 2004, the nobility included two Grand Dukes and an assorted number of lower-ranking nobles. As of 2018, the only title of nobility that still exists and is still held by the original noble is the title [[Countess Radlinski]].
