So he made up his mind to claim sovereignty over this region. He sent letters to the polar administrative agencies of nine countries, declared sovereignty "formally" and appointed himself as "Consul General" of "achaean Territory". Naturally, those countries did not take his statement seriously, but in Travis' view, this meant that they had no objection to it.
