Throughout his tenure as the leader of Westarctica, the Grand Duke tried to adopt a style and title that would most accurately reflect his actual position in the country. When he first claimed the territory in 2001, he viewed himself as a diplomatic representative from the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] to the rest of the world, hence his choice of a diplomatic title versus a royal title. Once the Achaean Territory was formally proclaimed as the Grand Duchy of Westarctica in 2004, the title naturally changed and the choice of ''His Serene Majesty'', while completely against the grain of traditional European princely titles, was selected to emphasize the Grand Duke's status as a sovereign leader and his commitment to leading Westarctica as a [[Religion in Westarctica|Christian nation]]. | Throughout his tenure as the leader of Westarctica, the Grand Duke tried to adopt a style and title that would most accurately reflect his actual position in the country.

Following the 2010 coup that restored order to Westarctica, the Grand Duke was initially reluctant to return to the throne, as he wished to place formal power in the hands of his Prime Minister, the [[Duke of Waesche]] instead of ruling as a virtual autocrat as he and [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|other Grand Dukes]] had done in the past. Therefore, he adopted the title ''Protector of Westarctica'', indicating that he was there to help, but not necessarily to lead. Finally, in 2014, following his departure from the throne of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]], he decided it was time to once again ascend to the throne of Westarctica and lead the nation as Head of State. However, rather than use the unusual and unconventional style of ''His Serene Majesty'', the Grand Duke took the traditional style for sovereign Grand Dukes, ''His Royal Highness''. | Following the 2010 coup that restored order to Westarctica, the Grand Duke was initially reluctant to return to the throne, as he wished to place formal power in the hands of his Prime Minister, the [[Duke of Waesche]] instead of ruling as a virtual autocrat as he and [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|other Grand Dukes]] had done in the past.
