Logo of the Honorary Consular Corps

The Honorary Consular Corps is Westarctica's primary diplomatic institution. It is staffed by volunteers who are carefully vetted by the Grand Duke after passing the Honorary Consul Training Program. They are a key part of Westarctica's foreign affairs program.

Duties

Honorary Consuls serve as representatives of the government of Westarctica in their home countries. They are expected to liaison with other citizens of Westarctica who either reside in their same geographic area or speak their same language. When official diplomatic events occur in their region, the Consuls may be asked to represent Westarctica's interests at these functions. For this reason, the Consuls must be well-versed on Westarctica's history, its mission, and goals.

All Honorary Consuls receive a certificate with their diplomatic credentials as well as a metal lapel pin of the Flag of Westarctica. They are encouraged to wear the flag pin even when not working on official business as a way of establishing conversations about Westarctica.

Although Honorary Consuls are appointed by the Grand Duke, they are managed by the Foreign Minister and deliver monthly reports on their activities to him.

Ranks

With good service and excellence in their work, Honorary Consuls can be promoted to higher diplomatic ranks. The ranks of Westarctica's diplomats are:

  • Ambassador
  • Consul-General
  • Consul
  • Honorary Consul
