It should be noted that although a Westarctican noble might bear the title of duke or duchess, he or she may actually be the prince or princess of a given territory.  There are no other Westarcticsan titles which work this way.
 
It should also be noted that a person may hold the Westarctican title of "duke" or "duchess" while simultaneously being a king or a grand duke in some other system of peerage.  For example, [[King Christopher of Vikesland]] is a Westarctican [[prince]] whose Westarctican title is [[Duke of Hudson]].
