After Prince Garibald's ascension, he and [[Grand Duke Travis]] met in a small underground cellar in the city of Marana, Arizona to sign the accords that would formally make Kolios a territorial holding of Westarctica.

Prior to the accords, Prince Garibald issued sixteen “Princely Edicts,” initiatives intended to set up and smooth the transition from kingdom to protectorate. The edicts range from the withdrawal of Kolios from the [[Empire of Agber]] to restructuring Koliosian nobility to officially secularizing the government. He also made a number of appointments, elevating Koliosian nobles to higher ranks. In an effort to bridge the two nations, he also created a number of new nobles, drawing them from both Koliosian and Westarctican citizenship rosters. The successful accords resulted in the Provincial Charter of the Westarctican Protectorate of Kolios becoming the new law of Kolios.

The Flag of Westarctica has gone through many changes since the nation first declared itself a sovereign territory. Although the original flag of the Achaean Territory was generally considered to be an eyesore, subsequent flags were designed to be more aesthetically pleasing while also encompassing the values of Westarctica. There have been five flags representing Westarctica since the nation was first founded. Only two of these flags have ever actually flown on a flagpole.

In late 2014, Grand Duke Travis decided it was time to bring back some of the old symbols of Westarctica. In a show of solidarity with the old regime, he created a new flag utilizing the old symbology of the "Cross and Crown" design. To make the flag more aesthetically pleasing, simple tinctures of blue and white were used instead of the original teal and forest green found on the 2004 - 2010 flags. The specific tincture of blue is called "Westarctica Blue" and is considered a protected official color of Westarctica.
