The '''[[crabeater seal]]''' is a true seal with a circumpolar distribution around the coast of [[Antarctica]].  
The '''[[Masters of the Universe]]''' was the lowest-ranking of the [[Orders of Calsahara]].

They are medium- to large-sized (over 2 m in length), relatively slender and pale-colored, found primarily on the free-floating [[pack ice]] that extends seasonally out from the Antarctic coast, which they use as a platform for resting, mating, social aggregation and accessing their prey. They are by far the most abundant seal species in the world. While population estimates are uncertain, there are at least 7 million and possibly as many as 75 million individuals.
The investiture ceremony for the Masters of the Universe requires the honored person to stand before the Sovereign of the Order while their eccentric deeds are recited, then they must kneel as the Sovereign places the collar over their head. Then the Sovereign proclaims them "Lord ''Firstname'', Master of the Universe" and touches them on the shoulder, saying:
"Rise, and claim your domain!"


Despite its name, crabeater seals do not eat crabs. As well as being an important [[krill]] predator, the crabeater seal is an important component of the diet of [[leopard seal|leopard seals]] (''Hydrurga leptonyx''), which consume about 80% of all crabeater pups. The crabeater seal is the official seal of [[Westarctica]], and a favored animal of [[Grand Duke Travis]].

King-Master of the Universe.jpg

The Masters of the Universe was the lowest-ranking of the Orders of Calsahara. It was created in December 2010 to recognize and celebrate outstanding megalomania and delusions of grandeur, especially among leaders of micronations. After Clasahara became a colony of Westarctica the order was declared to be in disuse.

The investiture ceremony for the Masters of the Universe requires the honored person to stand before the Sovereign of the Order while their eccentric deeds are recited, then they must kneel as the Sovereign places the collar over their head. Then the Sovereign proclaims them "Lord Firstname, Master of the Universe" and touches them on the shoulder, saying: "Rise, and claim your domain!"
