Westarctican Activities
August became a Westarctica citizen during GISHWHES 2016. In March of 2018, August was made a member of the nobility, as the Duke of Fox Grove. He was among the first to join the Westarctica Civilian Corps the following month. That same year, he became a moderator on the Citizens of Westarctica Facebook page.
August announced in late July of 2018 that Grand Duke Travis had approved an unofficial Saint Misha Day. This day is an informal celebration of Misha Collins, akin to a feast day for canonized saints in the Catholic or Eastern Orthodox churches. Since Misha Collins is still living, and Westarctica has no official religion, this celebration is considered a tongue-in-cheek and entirely for fun celebration of Collins, GISH, its participants, and the role all three have played in shaping Westarctica.
In December of 2018, Duke August was named the Deputy Minister of Citizenship & Immigration. In March 2019, the appointment was made official and His Grace was promoted to full Ministerial status, as the Minister of Citizenship & Immigration. He served in this role until 28 January 2020, when he became the first Minister of Culture.

This Honor is bestowed with the utmost respect and deepest gratitude of Westarctica's leadership on this, the 7th day of February in the year Two-Thousand and Twenty."
Honored Volunteer of Westarctica
On 29 July 2019 August was named as an Honored Volunteer of Westarctica. The award citation read:
"...for excellence in coordinating and executing the Icebreaker for the Nashville area in July of 2019.

This Honor, and its corresponding ribbon are bestowed with the utmost respect and deepest gratitude on this, the 29th Day of July in the year Two Thousand and Nineteen."
Honored Artist of Westarctica
On 25 August 2018 August was named an Honored Artist of Westarctica (then called the Honored Artist ribbon). The award citation read:
"...for excellence in being chosen as the Council Selection in the 2018 Westarctica Art Expo.

This piece of art is an important building block in creating a culture for Westarctica. This Honor is bestowed with the utmost respect and deepest gratitude of Westarctica's leadership on this, the 25th day of August in the year Two-Thousand and Eighteen."
Honored Citizen of Westarctica
On 10 December 2019 August was named an Honored Citizen of Westarctica, as he had previously already been named an Honored Artist during the 2018 iteration. The award citation read:
"...for excellence in being chosen as the Citizen's Selection in the 2019 Westarctica Art Expo. His Grace's piece, "The Smallest of Us," was selected for special recognition by the citizens of Westarctica. This piece of art is an important building block in creating a culture for Westarctica.
