The '''Westarctica Royal Guards''' are the military force of [[Westarctica]]. The primary duty of the Royal Guards is to accompany the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] as an honor guard at state ceremonies and other public appearances. The Royal Guards are not a full-time unit, but are brought together on occasions of major ceremony. Due to their close proximity to Westarctica's dignitaries, all guardsmen are trained in close protection tactics. Service in the Royal Guards is voluntary and unpaid.
The '''Ford Ranges''' are a group of mountain ranges standing east of the [[Sulzberger Ice Shelf]] and [[Block Bay]] in the northwest part of [[Westarctica]]. Discovered by the [[Richard E. Byrd|Byrd Antarctic Expedition]] on 5 December 1929, and named by Byrd for Edsel Ford of the Ford Motor Company, who helped finance the expedition.
