==Decision | ==Decision to abdicate== | ||
In order to keep his job as an Intelligence Specialist, [[Grand Duke Travis]] made the difficult decision to abdicate from the throne of [[Westarctica]]. On 11 January, he informed his long-time friend, Philip Karns, the [[Duke of Ravencroft]], about his decision and asked for guidance on the next steps for a smooth transition. They eventually decided that it would be best to let Philip assume the mantle of [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]], and take command of the government. | In order to keep his job as an Intelligence Specialist, [[Grand Duke Travis]] made the difficult decision to abdicate from the throne of [[Westarctica]].
