The '''[[Illustrious Antarctic Order of the Orca]]''' is the highest [[Orders of Westarctica|Order of Westarctica]]. The intention of the order is to honor those who have provided a lifetime of service and dedication to [[Westarctica]] and its ideals. The order was formally established on 10 July 2019.

The order only has a single official rank: Dame/Knight of the Orca, which is limited to 14 regular members, who are appointed for life. These are sometimes referred to as numerary members. While there is no specific criteria, these members are intended to be those citizens who have provided the greatest services to the nation. This is often measured as a body of work across years or even a lifetime. There is no minimum number of knights or dames the order must have, but the accepted wisdom is that vacancies should be filled as worthy candidates are identified.

On 10 April 2015, the day before MicroCon 2015 was scheduled to occur, President Baugh organized a group tour of Hollywood, California. The tour was led by local Los Angeles resident, Grand Duke Travis and his royal consort, Prince-Consort Dinny.

As a former professional actor and filmmaker, Grand Duke Travis was uniquely suited to lead the tour of Hollywood Boulevard. Also on the tour were King Christopher of Vikesland, Prince Arthur of Homestead, Baron Stogner, Commodore Jonathan Miller and his wife Katie Bellis Miller, in addition to President Baugh and the First Family of Molossia.

Matt Roth snapped this picture of them in the outer courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theater where Grand Duke Travis explained the history of the majestic location. Afterward, the group was hungry and decided to dine at the adjacent Pig & Whistle restaurant where they were seated together at a large group table.
