In 2013, King Montague and Queen Cathryn filed for divorce. This resulted in a crisis in the Calsahara government. The members of the Chancellery voiced their desire to have someone other than the disgraced King Montague rule their land. After months of bickering and internal pressure, King Montague abdicated and passed the throne to his son, who was crowned as King Nicholas in late 2014. In a power-sharing agreement, the executive power to govern was split between King Nicholas and the newly-created office of Dictator For Life. Naturally, McHenry was the only serious candidate for the office. | In 2013, King Montague and Queen Cathryn filed for divorce. This resulted in a crisis in the Calsahara government.

The value of [[Currency | Starting in 2010, the Royal Bank of Calsahara began printing paper banknotes. These notes were called "bulgur" after the bulgur wheat that grows so plentifully on the [[Carrizo Plain]]. The value of [[Currency of Calsahara|Calsaharan Bulgur]] was pegged to the value of wheat, which resulted in a pitifully low valuation. To compensate, the banknotes were printed in extremely high denominations, from 1 million bulgur to 100 million bulgur. | ||
After Westarctican forces took control of Calsahara's territory, the currency was changed to Colonial Bulgur and responsibility for printing new notes was assumed by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]]. Minor changes were made to the designs on the notes, but they remain pegged to the value of wheat with a high level of inflation. | After Westarctican forces took control of Calsahara's territory, the currency was changed to Colonial Bulgur and responsibility for printing new notes was assumed by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]].
