The ruler of Westarctica at that time was [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]], who had previously served as Westarctica's chief herald and had assumed the throne from [[Grand Duke Philip]] in 2008. His rule had been criticized from Westarcticans and foreigners alike as both aggressively hostile as well as isolationist and, ultimately, negligent. | The ruler of Westarctica at that time was [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]], who had previously served as Westarctica's chief herald and had assumed the throne from [[Grand Duke Philip]] in 2008.

To fulfill the wishes of the people of Westarctica, from May - June 2010, Travis participated in a [[The Great Return|coup to remove]] Jon-Lawrence from the throne. The coup was successful and on 4 June, a [[Transitional Government]] was proclaimed that effectively reduced Westarctica's sovereign status to that of a Protectorate (unofficially a protectorate of Calsahara). As he was still [[King of Calsahara]], rather than take the title of Grand Duke, Travis adopted the title "Protector of Westarctica" and gave Westarctica's [[Minister of Defense]], [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], the position of [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]]. | To fulfill the wishes of the people of Westarctica, from May - June 2010, Travis participated in a [[The Great Return|coup to remove]] Jon-Lawrence from the throne.
