To fulfill the wishes of the people of Westarctica, from May - June 2010, Travis participated in a coup to remove Jon-Lawrence from the throne. The coup was successful and on 4 June, a Transitional Government was proclaimed that effectively reduced Westarctica's sovereign status to that of a Protectorate (unofficially a protectorate of Calsahara). As he was still King of Calsahara, rather than take the title Grand Duke, Travis adopted the title Protector of Westarctica and gave Westarctica's Minister of Defence, [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], the position of [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]].
