The '''[[Gothic Mountains]]''' is a group of mountains, 32 kilometers (20 mi) long, in the [[Queen Maud Mountains]] of [[Westarctica]], located west of [[Watson Escarpment]] and bounded by [[Scott Glacier]], Albanus Glacier, and Griffith Glacier.
The '''[[Supreme Diet]]''' was the legislative assembly of the [[Colony of Calsahara|Kingdom of Calsahara]] during the time it was an independent [[micronation]]. The building was a church in Yorba Linda, California. At the time it was utilized by the government of Calsahara, the head pastor was [[Grand Duke Travis]]' father-in-law.


The mountains were first visited in December 1934 by the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]] geological party led by [[Quin Blackburn]]. The name was proposed by Edmund Stump, leader of a U.S. Antarctic Research Program (USARP) - Arizona State University geological party which made investigations here in the 1980-81 season. The mountains are composed of granites which have weathered to produce a series of spires and peaks reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral.
Shortly after Calsahara was founded, Travis (at the time reigning as [[King of Calsahara|King Montage]]) realized the utility of having access to a large assembly hall for giving speeches and facilitating gatherings of Calsahara's citizens. Several of the [[Chancellery of Calsahara|Chancellors of Calsahara]] were also members of the church and even served in various administrative capacities, making it an ideal location to gather them together for public speeches.


On 28 April 2020, Logan Mullins was granted the [[Peerage of Westarctica|hereditary peerage]] title Duke of the Gothic Mountains in recognition of his support of Westarctica.

The Supreme Diet was the legislative assembly of the Kingdom of Calsahara during the time it was an independent micronation. The building was a church in Yorba Linda, California. At the time it was utilized by the government of Calsahara, the head pastor was Grand Duke Travis' father-in-law.

Shortly after Calsahara was founded, Travis (at the time reigning as King Montage) realized the utility of having access to a large assembly hall for giving speeches and facilitating gatherings of Calsahara's citizens. Several of the Chancellors of Calsahara were also members of the church and even served in various administrative capacities, making it an ideal location to gather them together for public speeches.
