Within Westarctica, the title Grand Duke (female equivalent: Grand Duchess) is the highest ranking peer and title which an individual may hold. It supersedes all other titles, and only one person may hold the title at a given time.

Though constrained in certain respects by the nation's Constitution, the office still retains enormous personal power, including the power to appoint and dismiss members of the Royal Council. As of 2020 there have been three Westarctican Grand Dukes.
