===Reign of Prince Garibald===
Princess Arlene first floated the idea of abdicating and naming [[Duke of the Bean Peninsula|Margrave Jordan of Sulli]] as her successor in late 2020. Given his active role at the time as [[Prime Minister of Westarctica]], Jordan informed her that wouldn't be possible, and that she should find someone else to reign instead. When the Princess made it clear to Jordan that she did not feel there was anyone else viable, he began working for a solution to what he would refer to as "the Kolios problem."

When the Princess made it clear to Jordan that she did not feel there was anyone else viable, he began working for a solution to what he would refer to as "the Kolios problem."


This problem, as Jordan would put it, needed to allow him to honor his commitment to the office of Prime Minister of [[Westarctica]]. Constitutionally, as Prime Minister, he was prohibited from concurrent service in the government of another nation. At the same time, he wanted to ensure Kolios' survival. Without an identifiable noble willing to take the throne, Jordan floated the possibility of making Kolios a colony of Westarctica. While a number of objections were raised by Kolios' nobles, the majority consensus was that this would only be acceptable if the role of Prince of Kolios was somehow preserved, as a possible future path back to sovereignty.
