Difference between revisions of "Duke of Moulton-Berlin"

From August to December 2008 Jon-Lawrence corresponded with Travis McHenry about the possibility of a [[2008 Transition of Power|transfer of power]] from [[Grand Duke Philip]], who had allowed Westarctica's government to become inactive and reclusive. In an arrangement brokered by McHenry, Philip voluntarily gave up the throne, and the title [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] was passed to Jon-Lawrence. He assumed the throne on 30 December 2008 as Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence.

His reign experienced many difficulties including an uphill battle to regain some of Westarctica's lost prestige and to direct attacks on the sovereignty of the nation. These challenges culminated in the [[Siple War]] between [[Westarctica]] and a coalition of allied nations. Eventually, the cabinet ministers and hereditary nobles turned against him, and lobbied Grand Duke Travis to return to the throne. In May 2010, Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence was deposed in a coup known as [[The Great Return]].
