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.

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]].
