  • Hollywood, California - April 10, 2015: Grand Duke Travis of WestArctica stops for a portrait during a pre-MicroCon 2015 tour of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Friday April 10, 2015. <br />
<br />
The claimed territory of WestArctica is the Marie Byrd Land of Antarctica, which is 1/8th of the continent. Last year Grand Duke Travis (Travis McHenry) registered WestArctica as a non-profit. It’s mission is to bring attention to climate change's impact on Antarctica's ice sheets and advocate for the local penguin population. Grand Duke Travis founded WestArctica November 2, 2001 while he was in the Navy as an Intelligence Specialist. His advocacy work with WestArctica led him to speak with dignitaries from other countries. The Navy found out, and gave him an ultimatum. So, his work with WestArctica took a backseat until he was honorably discharged in 2008. Since then he established a second micronation, Calsahara. It's a swath of land in the high plains of the California Valley, which his ex-wife’s family owns. After Travis came out as gay, he and his wife divorced. While Travis and his ex-wife remain on good terms, according to Travis, her family is not interested in handing over their land to Travis. He did, however, name their son Nicholas, King of CalSahara, and Travis is CalSahara's "Dictator for Life."<br />

"Territorial Prince" is an honorary title originally given to Prince Arthur’s 6th Generation Grandfather, Lord Arthur Henry Nieves, who owned the original House of Homestead -- 16 acres of land in La Essana, Principality of Andorra. Andorra is a European microstate, landlocked between Spain and France; it's a monarchy run by two co-princes. Territorial Prince Arthur makes it clear that he is not a blue blood.

  • Anaheim , California - April 11, 2015: Queen Carolyn of Ladonia -- who lives in Chicago -- became involved in the Sweden-based micronation in the late 90's while a Political Science major in college. Her satirical business case proposing why Ladonia should annex Gary Indiana earned her a minister's position. After the previous Queen was ousted, Carolyn Shelby filled the spot. In Ladonia, queens reign for life, and there are no kings. "I've survived a couple coups." The Micronation's government is a Constitutional monarchy run by 100 active ministers and have presidential elections every three years. Ladonians have claimed sovereignty over a coastal Swedish nature reserve. Needless to say Ladonia has a tepid relationship with the Swedish government, but the micronation brings 40,000 people per year to a place that hasn't had a boom in tourism for around 100 years. Ladonia's founder, political artist & sculptor Lars Vilks, created the micronation as a protest to governmental encroachment in Sweden. Ladonia stands for Freedom of speech, lower taxes, the right for its citizens not to be compelled to do things by the government, and freedom to be idle. 100 different countries are represented in its 17,000 citizens -- 6,000 of whom are from the U.S. Queen Carolyn says Ladonia offers people the chance to be a citizen in a system they weren't born in to. "...because nobody was born there. We're all immigrants." <br />

  • Anaheim , California - April 11, 2015:  His Territorial Highness Prince Arthur Louis Pagan Nieves and Her Territorial Highness Lady Edith Ortiz, ARNP Military Medical Officer of The House of Homestead pose for a portrait during the MicroCon 2015 Cotillion at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim, CA April 11, 2015. "Territorial Prince" is an honorary title originally given to Prince Arthur’s 6th Generation Grandfather, Lord Arthur Henry Nieves, who owned the original House of Homestead -- 16 acres of land in La Essana, Principality of Andorra. Andorra is a European microstate, landlocked between Spain and France; it's a monarchy run by two co-princes. Territorial Prince Arthur makes it clear that he is not a blue blood. His title has been passed down through his family for generations. He claims his home in Miami as the Diplomatic Residence of The House of Homestead. <br />
