The Barony of Brandenburg is one of three baronies inside the Colony of Calsahara. Baron of Brandenburg is a peerage title in the Nobility of Calsahara.

Its motto is: "The Gateway to Calsahara."

Name

The barony's name was derived from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Brandenburg Concertos by Bach. Many of the places in Calsahara were named in honor of movies and songs, and Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 is Grand Duke Travis' favorite song.

Geography

Brandenburg is a narrow strip of land located on the border with the United States. It runs along the shore of the Seven Seas of Rhye inside the Duchy of Chutney and Monte Cristo County.

The barony is an important place in Calsahara as it contains the only navigable entry and exit point to enter or leave the colony in a vehicle. This point, a natural depression which sometimes floods, is called "the Brandenburg Gate," although there is no gate present.

It is located entirely inside the Principality of Rhye.

Peerage title

On 2 November 2022, the noble title Baron of Brandenburg was granted to James Stoshak, Count of Faulkender in recognition of his devoted support of Westarctica.
