The title of Baronet was originally utilized by [[Grand Duke Travis]] as a means of punishing nobles by demoting them, but still allowing them to remain in the [[Peerage of Westarctica]]. This practice was often coupled with branding them a [[Disgraced noble]]. | The title of Baronet was originally utilized by [[Grand Duke Travis]] as a means of punishing nobles by demoting them, but still allowing them to remain in the [[Peerage of Westarctica]].

In 2018, following the advice of the [[Royal Council]], the title of Baronet was reestablished as the lowest rank of nobility in the peerage. It began to be granted with more regularity, however it has remained the least popular title, with only ten members (as of 10 March 2020). One useful application for the title has been to grant it as a courtesy title to family members of nobles, especially for same-sex couples where one person holds the rank of Baron/Baroness and giving both individuals the same title might cause confusion. | In 2018, following the advice of the [[Royal Council]], the title of Baronet was reestablished as the lowest rank of nobility in the peerage.
