The Order of the Snowflake is an Westarctic's highest honor and is awarded to those who have provided a service to Westarctica. There are three classes of the Order: Knight, Knight Commander, and Knight Grand Cross.

Only the Grand Duke himself has the power to bestow new knighthoods and thus far, he has awarded the medal to foreign dignitaries, artists, prominent nobles, and other supporters of Westarctica. All knights receive the medal respective of their class and the award is for life.

The Order is considered a "self-styled" one, with no connection to existing or historical Orders of Chivalry.

Membership in the Order of the Snowflake entitles the bearer to attach the post-nomial "KtS" following their name. In this way, they are living examples of the Westarctican ideal.
