After years of struggle, the War for Wikipedia was lost. And all the while, less notable micronations with far less international press coverage, continue to have their articles unmolested by the foul coprophages mentioned above. | After years of struggle, the War for Wikipedia was lost.

===Aftermath and creation of Encyclopedia Westarctica=== | |||
Despite having stayed far from the battle lines during the edit/revert war raging on Wikipedia, [[Grand Duke Travis]] took a concerned interest in the lack of discretion being displayed by the team dedicated to deleting Westarctica's entry. When the news finally broke that the article's deletion would be permanent, His Royal Highness clenched his fists and remarked: "Screw Wikipedia! I'll make ''my own'' Wikipedia, that'll show 'em!" | |||
However, with limited technical knowledge and almost no experience editing or creating articles in the Wiki format, the Grand Duke was unable to move forward with his plan immediately. It took several months of exhaustive research and help from a team of technical experts to set up a dedicated server, load the MediaWiki software, and create the Wiki you see before you today. | |||
