The '''[[San Joaquin kit fox]]''' is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Because the San Joaquin kit fox requires dens for shelter, protection and reproduction, a habitat’s soil type is important. Loose-textured soils are preferable, but modification of the burrows of other animals facilitates denning in other soil types. San Joaquin kit foxes can use more than 60 different dens over the course of a year in an effort to evade predators, like coyotes.
The '''[[Royal Officer Corps]]''' was a proposed military organization in [[Westarctica]]. Although plans were made for the creation of the unit, it was never actually formed as a fighting force. In 2005, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was urged to create a military unit by numerous members of the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet]] and the [[Baronage]], including the [[Baron of Havola]], who pleaded with the Grand Duke that there was an urgent need for a functioning military (even if it was only a small one). The creation of the [[Minister of Defense]] was phase one of the establishment of Westarctica's military, and the office was given to [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], a citizen of Westarctica since 2003.


San Joaquin kit foxes can breed at one year of age. The male and female may stay together the full year but may not necessarily den together. Home ranges vary from 1 to 12 square miles. Each kit fox may use several dens in a season and change dens often. In September and October, the female focuses on preparing the pupping den. Mating can occur from December to March, and the pups will be born after a 48-52 day gestation period. The male will provide most of the female’s food while she is lactating. The pups venture outside of their den for the first time when they are a little more than a month old.
As Minister of Defense, Wolf Tulier also served as the head of the Royal Officer Corps, utilizing his experience as a soldier in the U.S. Army to guide his leadership of the Corps.

The Royal Officer Corps was a proposed military organization in Westarctica. Although plans were made for the creation of the unit, it was never actually formed as a fighting force. In 2005, Grand Duke Travis was urged to create a military unit by numerous members of the Grand Ducal Cabinet and the Baronage, including the Baron of Havola, who pleaded with the Grand Duke that there was an urgent need for a functioning military (even if it was only a small one). The creation of the Minister of Defense was phase one of the establishment of Westarctica's military, and the office was given to Wolf Tulier, a citizen of Westarctica since 2003.

As Minister of Defense, Wolf Tulier also served as the head of the Royal Officer Corps, utilizing his experience as a soldier in the U.S. Army to guide his leadership of the Corps. Shortly following the creation of the office, Wolf appointed the former Baronet of Brandenberger, Troy Thompson, as Deputy Minister of Defense to assist him in getting Westarctica’s military into marching order. Although the Ministry of Defense planned to host training camps for prospective members, the Royal Officer Corps gradually became a footnote in Westarctica's history. In 2017, their function was replaced by the Westarctican Royal Guards.
