The '''[[Westarctican 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.

As he began to recruit for his invasion force, he realized the unit would require a name. As the soldiers were expected to answer directly to the Crown and were primarily a defensive unit, the Grand Duke chose the name "Westarctican Royal Guards."
