The '''[[Consul-General of the Achaean Territory]]''' was the title used by [[Grand Duke Travis]] during his time as Head of State of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]], the predecessor state to [[Westarctica]].
The '''[[southern elephant seal]]''' is one of the two species of elephant seals. It is the largest member of the clade Pinnipedia and the order Carnivora, as well as the largest marine mammal that is not a cetacean. It gets its name from its massive size and the large proboscis of the adult male, which is used to produce very loud roars, especially during the breeding season.


Travis selected the title Consul-General due to its diplomatic origin and his desire to serves as a representative of the Achaean Territory to the world at large. As the territory had no cohesive government before and during its initial formation, there was no proper authority that could appoint Travis as the Head of Government.
The world population was estimated at 650,000 animals in the mid-1990s, and was estimated in 2005 at between 664,000 and 740,000 animals. Studies have shown the existence of three geographic subpopulations, one in each of the three oceans. Tracking studies have indicated the routes traveled by elephant seals, demonstrating their main feeding area is at the edge of the Antarctic continent. While elephant seals may come ashore in [[Antarctica]] occasionally to rest or to mate, they gather to breed in subantarctic locations.


As Consul-General, Travis held unlimited power in the Achaean Territory. He ruled by decree and was permitted to take any action that pleased him. He was the sole author of the [[Achaean Civil Code]] and the [[Achaean Royal Charter]]. These two documents, which comprised the whole constitution of Achaea, codified the government structure and placed all executive, legislative, and judicial authority in the Consul-General.
