During the troubled times, when Westarctica's [[Westarctica Domain Name|official website]] was taken offline, several new micronations including Finismund, Marie State, and the [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]], banded together and claimed various areas of Westarctica's previously claimed territory. They believed Westarctica no longer existed as a sovereign nation, and therefore, viewed the 2001 claim to [[Marie Byrd Land]] as no longer valid. | During the troubled times, when Westarctica's [[Westarctica Domain Name|official website]] was taken offline, several new micronations including Finismund, Marie State, and the [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]], banded together and claimed various areas of [[Westarctica]]'s previously claimed territory.

Eventually, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] assumed the throne, he challenged these claims and this led to Finismund, Marie State, and Flandrensis declaring war against Westarctica. Through the course of this conflict, which was waged as a war of words and propaganda, [[Grand Duke Niels of Flandrensis]] discovered that maps published on Westartican websites failed to specifically highlight Siple island as a claimed area. | Eventually, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] assumed the throne, he challenged these claims and this led to Finismund, Marie State, and Flandrensis declaring war against Westarctica.
