His Lordship served as Minister of Information for just over a year from 2018 - 2019, when he was transferred to the post of [[Minister of Commerce]] to oversee [[Westarctica|Westarctica's]] retail product offerings. As part of his new responsibilities, the Count was given possession of the Great Seal of Westarctica and was granted the honorific of Keeper of the Seal. In this capacity, His Lordship is responsible for personally sealing all Letters Patent that are granted to new peers. | His Lordship served as Minister of Information for just over a year from 2018 - 2019, when he was transferred to the post of [[Minister of Commerce]] to oversee [[Westarctica|Westarctica's]] retail product offerings.

===As Captain-General of Calsahara=== | |||
Although the Count has only visited his domain in the [[Colony of Calsahara]] on one occasion, he provided several invaluable services during that trip. The first was the dramatic expansion and renovation of Montague Square in the Capital city of [[Otisburg]]. Due to heavy rains during the previous year, the entire square had become completely overgrown with thick patches of needlegrass. These sharp needle-like spurs had to be carefully removed so the bricks of the square would be visible again. Once the square was cleaned up, the Count supervised the laying of new paver stones, effectively doubling the size of Montague Square. | |||
During an inspection tour of [[Hooverville]], the Count noticed a large crow trapped on a piece of twine inside the rafters of the dilapidated building. Without regard for his own safety, the Count climbed up into rafters and spent approximately three minutes cutting the twine with a shard of broken glass. The crow was freed from the twine and left in peace to recover from its ordeal. This animal rescue operation also confirmed the presence of a white barn owl living inside Hooverville in the same roost as the crow. | |||
