In late 2009, Travis learned that his mother-in-law was part owner of a 2.5 acre tract of land in central California. After viewing pictures of the property online and finding it to be a barren wasteland, Travis promptly proclaimed it a sovereign nation with the name "Calsahara" (California = ''Cal'' and Desert = ''Sahara''). | In late 2009, Travis learned that his mother-in-law was part owner of a 2.5 acre tract of land in central California.

While ruling as King Montague, Travis developed Calsahara into a thriving micronation with a unique culture. He conducted state visits with the micronations of [[Kingdom of Vikesland|Vikesland]], [[Republic of Molossia|Molossia]], and the [[Kingdom of Shiloh]]. On 10 September 2011, he was an honored guest at the wedding of President Baugh to the new First Lady of Molossia, [[Adrianne Baugh]]. | ||
In 2014, after the competition of his divorce from his wife, [[Marquise of Walgreen|Cathryn]], Travis began to feel conflicted concerning his continued Kingship over a land he was no longer truly entitled to rule. In deference to his ex-in-laws, Travis abdicated the throne of Calsahara and turned over the crown to his son, [[Prince Daniel Nicholas|Nicholas]]. He initially served as Calsahara's Head of Government, with the title Dictator for Life, but in 2017, that office was also relinquished, leaving Travis to focus his efforts entirely on Westarctica. | |||
