===Protectorate of Kolios=== | |||
Established as a 120-acre Kingdom on 25 September 1995, [[Protectorate of Kolios|Kolios]] spent the majority of its time prior to becoming a protectorate of Westarctica as the Principality of Kolios within the [[Empre of Agber]]. During the tenure with Agber, the primary focus of Kolios was the culture surrounding Renaissance Fairs and other forms of creative anachronism. | |||
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the founders reconnected with the project, leading it to join the larger online micronational community. When its then reigning Princess Arlene decided to go back to medical school, she announced that she was abdicating the throne. After lengthy consideration, [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|her successor]] declared his intent to place Kolios under Westarctica as a protectorate, this transfer took place on 27 February 2022, with Prince Garibald having worn the crown for less than 36 hours. | |||
Grand Duke Travis' authority is consolidated in Kolios in the role of the Governor-General, which is currently filled by Jordan Farmer. Kolios' citizens select the Chancellor, who serves as their collective voice in the colonial government. The current Chancellor is Ella Westerly. | |||
===Colony of Raphania=== | |||
Previously known as the Grand Emirate of [[Raphania]], this territory is made up of two separate tracts of land found in Arizona, totaling 1.48 acres. Raphania was founded on 12 April 2022, although its origins go back earlier during a time when the area was known as the Desert Realm of Raphastan. It would become a territory of Westarctica on 19 November 2022, also bringing an end to the [[Westarctica-Raphania War]]. | |||
Within Raphania, Westarctica's Grand Duke Travis technically holds the role of Emir, although he is commonly referred to by his Westarctican title. Day-to-day operations are overseen by the Viceroy, [[Sir Charles Ross|Prince Charles]]. Unlike other holdings within the Westarctican conservacy of territories, Raphania is unique in that the role of Viceroy is hereditary. | |||
