The name "Whitmore" comes from the [[Whitmore Mountains]] in southern Westarctica, very near to the [[South Pole]], but is also extremely close to the Viscount's actual last name. From 2001 - 2004, when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]], Whitmoyer held the title "Duke of Whitmore." In October 2004, all titles from the Achaean Territory were either abolished or reduced in precedence and the Duchy was lowered to a [[Viscount|Viscountcy]]. | The name "Whitmore" comes from the [[Whitmore Mountains]] in southern Westarctica, very near to the [[South Pole]], but is also extremely close to the Viscount's actual last name.
