His Grace shepherded the nation in troubled times, and was invaluable in seeing Westarctica through the transition of Grand Dukes. Second only to this was his accomplishment of bringing peace to Antarctic micronationalism by brokering the West Antarctic Treaty. This Honor is bestowed with the utmost respect and deepest gratitude of Westarctica's leadership on this, the 1st day of May in the year Two-Thousand and Eighteen."
