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 '''[[South Magnetic Pole]]''' is the wandering point on the Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards. It should not be confused with the "South Geomagnetic Pole" described later.


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 South Magnetic Pole is constantly shifting due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. As of 2005 it was calculated to lie at 64°31′48″S 137°51′36″E, placing it off the coast of [[Antarctica]], between [[Adélie Land]] and [[Wilkes Land]]. In 2015 it lay at 64.28°S 136.59°E (est). That point lies outside the [[Antarctic Circle]].


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.

The South Magnetic Pole is the wandering point on the Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards. It should not be confused with the "South Geomagnetic Pole" described later.

The South Magnetic Pole is constantly shifting due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. As of 2005 it was calculated to lie at 64°31′48″S 137°51′36″E, placing it off the coast of Antarctica, between Adélie Land and Wilkes Land. In 2015 it lay at 64.28°S 136.59°E (est). That point lies outside the Antarctic Circle.
