When [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|noble titles]] were first created in [[Westarctica]], they were granted with the intention that those nobles would parcel out lower-ranking titles to other nobles who would then serve beneath them. In practice, however, this almost never occurred. | When [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|noble titles]] were first created in [[Westarctica]], they were granted with the intention that those nobles would parcel out lower-ranking titles to other nobles who would then serve beneath them.

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 Arthur Langer, who was given the Barony of Maricopa by his father, the [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin]].

In late 2017, several additional titles were subject to mediatization including the [[Siple Island|Viscounty of Siple]] and the [[Walgreen Coast|Marquisate of Walgreen]]. 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]].
