Exercise: Westarctic Chill was a joint military exercise conducted by Westarctica and Slabovia on 5 August 2019 in Dundas, Ontario, Canada. It marked the fourth time Grand Duke Travis had participated in a joint military operation with another micronation. The exercise was conducted inside a simulator room that utilized the Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator program. This software was originally released in 2010 and is designed to be played between three and eight players over a local area network. In a manner similar to the television show Star Trek, each player uses a separate computer that controls a specific spaceship bridge station. The Slabovian Navey has a long history of running complex Artemis simulations in their dedicated simulator room, which has been christened the USS Don Quixote.
