The first mediatized title was Arthur Langer, who was given the Barony of Maricopa by his father, the [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin]]. Although this Barony was included as an official title in the Peerage of Westarctica, and the [[baron]] himself was subject to the overall authority of the Grand Duke, he still answered directly to the Duke of Moulton-Berlin. | The first mediatized title was for Arthur Langer, who was given the Barony of Maricopa by his father, the [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin]].

This was done out of administrative and political convenience to the [[Government of Westarctica|central government]]. | In late 2017, several additional titles were subject to mediatization including the [[Siple Island|Viscounty of Siple]] and the [[Walgreen Coast|Marquisate of Walgreen]].
