'''Sir James Murphy''' | '''Sir James Murphy''' was a prominent citizen of [[Westarctica]] and sovereign ruler of several [[micronation]]s.

Inselwald later evolved into the Kingdom of Argonne before being disbanded entirely on 20 April 2020. | King James abdicated the Sconnish throne on 1 October 2018 and three months later created a new project called the Price-Abbacy of Inselwald.

While the activity levels were not what King James had hoped for, the interactions were an improvement over Inselwald's, and appeared to be increasing, as time went on. The underwhelming activity levels, coupled with the typical headaches found throughout micronationalism led James to declared the disbanding of Argonne on 20 April 2020. In the same announcement, James declared his intent to retire from the micronational community. | While the activity levels were not what King James had hoped for, the interactions were an improvement over Inselwald's, and appeared to be increasing, as time went on.
