==Political career==
Westover first entered Palmshire politics when he was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Palmshire on 4 December 2009 only to have resigned on 17 January 2010. He was later appointed the Palmshire Ambassador on 1 December 2010 and served in that office until it was abolished on 1 April 2011.

The King had reportedly held him in high favor and was dismayed at his departure.
