Activities

The Count has been an extremely active member of the Royal Council and was responsible for designing Westarctica's first paper currency, the Ice mark. His Lordship was appointed to the position of Commissioner of the Treasury with responsibility for managing the Central Bank of Westarctica on behalf of the Crown.

As Minister of Information, the Count's primary duty was to help populate Encyclopedia Westarctica with articles and he was instrumental in creating the first 500 articles in the wiki. Despite no longer holding the Minister of Information post, he still maintains some responsibility over the wiki as a Senior Admin.

His Lordship served as Minister of Information for just over a year from 2018 - 2019, when he was transferred to the post of Minister of Commerce to oversee Westarctica's retail product offerings. As part of his new responsibilities, the Count was given possession of the Great Seal of Westarctica and was granted the honorific of Keeper of the Seal. In this capacity, His Lordship is responsible for personally sealing all Letters Patent that are granted to new peers.

Titles

The count was first granted the courtesy title Baron of Bastanchury, one of only two peerage titles in the Nobility of Calsahara that is not held by Grand Duke Travis.

In 2020, after two years of faithful service, he was granted the Westarctican title Count of Dendtler, so-named for Dendtler Island. This island is located on the extreme eastern border of Westarctica and its sovereignty is divided between Westarctica and the Chilean Antarctic Territory.

Knight of the Snowflake

On 15 July 2018, at the fourth annual Royal Polo Match, His Lordship was invested as a Knight Commander in the Order of the Snowflake in recognition of his work creating and maintaining Encyclopedia Westarctica.
