#REDIRECT [[Peerage of Westarctica]]
The '''Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica''' is an institution almost as old as [[Westarctica]] itself, although it has had several different names since nobles were first appointed in 2001.


As of 8 April 2018, no title in the Hereditary Nobility has ever been transferred to an heir as no member of the nobility has yet passed away.


==Names of the peerage==
During the era when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the collected nobles were simply known as "the Nobility." In 2002, when the [[Achaean Royal Charter]] was decreed, the name was formalized as "the [[Baronage]]". This name was retained in the [[Grand Ducal Charter]] of 2004.


In September 2012, when the first [[Charter of Westarctica]] was decreed, the nobles were labeled simply "nobility," however, in the second revision of the Charter, only a month later, [[Grand Duke Travis]] first added the word "hereditary" to the article on nobility. From this time forward, the group of nobles became known as the "Hereditary Nobility."

===The "Old Guard"===
Starting in 2012, nobles who had received their titles prior to [[Grand Duke Travis]]' 2006 abdication from the throne became informally known as the "Old Guard" out of respect to their long service to [[Westarcica]].
