The Kingdom of Westphalia was a kingdom created in 1807 in present-day Germany. While nominally independent it was a vassal state to France under Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon made his brother Jerome Bonaparte the King of Westphalia until the country dissolved in 1813.

The name sounds mythical.
That one sure didn't last long
A short-lived country.
First time I hear about this.
That place did not last long, did it?
Oh that name is amazing!
I always think of this as a province of Germany and I love Westphalian ham
for a minute I thought you were talking about game of thrones.
Six years ~ not much of a run for a country.
