Senate of Westarctica

2026-04-21T02:02:12Z

Westarctica: Added list of new senators

The '''Senate of Westarctica''' is the primary legislative body of [[Westarctica]]. The function and composition of the Senate is outlined in the [[Constitution of Westarctica]] (Chapter III: The Legislature). Senators are accorded the honorific "The Honorable."

The Acting Senate Leader is the Duke of [[Denfeld Mountains|Denfeld]].

==Legislative function==
The Senate is a body of legislators selected from among citizens of Westarctica. It forms the lower portion and general start of the legislative process in Westarctica. Its primary function is to create and pass laws, while aiding in good governance.

Proposals for new laws may be submitted by either a senator or the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]]. Proposed laws must receive a simple majority assent of the total number of seats in the Senate to pass. Proposals that have passed the Senate are then reviewed by the Prime Minister for either approval or denial. Those proposals the Prime Minister approves are passed on to the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Sovereign]] for potential approval and ratification into law.

Any proposals denied by the Prime Minister, but passed in the Senate by a 2/3 or greater majority will be passed on to the Sovereign for consideration. Proposals that the Prime Minister denies, but passed with less than a 2/3 majority are to be given back to the Senate, where they may be modified or dropped.

Ultimately, the Sovereign either approves or vetoes any proposal that reaches them via the legislative process. Those proposals that the Sovereign approves are to be signed into law as a [[Westarctican Ordinance]] and bear both the royal signature and Sovereign’s seal.

Proposals that the Sovereign denies, but were passed with a 3/4 or greater majority by the Senate and the Prime Minister’s approval shall be signed into law as a Westarctican Ordinance by the Prime Minister. Laws passed in this manner may not pertain directly to a matter that is considered to fall entirely under the Sovereign’s purview, per the constitution.

==Composition==
Senators are selected during the annual [[Voting in Westarctica|Voting Weekend]] to a term of two years. Senators are limited to service in three consecutive two-year terms, regardless of how much time they serve during those three terms. There is no limit to the total number of terms an individual may serve.

===Senate Leader===
The position of Senate Leader is generally the first order of business for an incoming Senate. There are no explicit added benefits to holding this position, and the only added responsibility is serving as mouthpiece of the body, as well as guiding it through the legislative process. The Senate Leader is accorded the honorific "The Right Honorable."

On 21 February 2023, Alex "Sasha" Radionov was selected by the sitting senators as the first Senate Leader. He resigned from this position on 28 October 2023.

On 1 November 2023, the [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula]] was voted in as Senate Leader with 7 approvals and 1 abstention.

On 5 March 2024, the Duke of [[Denfeld Mountains|Denfeld]] was elected as the new Senate Leader.

===Requirements to serve===
Prospective senators must meet the following requirements in order to be deemed eligible to serve in the senate:

* 18 years or older, and under the age of 75 on the day the application window opens;
* In sufficient mental and physical health that they can be expected to perform the duties of the role for the entirety of their term;
* Willing and able to commit the time required to fulfill all duties specified by this Constitution;
* Submit a completed application packet.

==Current list of senators==
The Second Senate of Westarctica, seated on 20 April 2026, consists of the following members:

* Alex "Sasha" Radionov

* Thomas Marek
* Betty McKeough
* Christian Seitz

* Hann Dougie
* Kurt Fuchs

===Activities===
The first Senate passed the following [[Westarctican Ordinance]]s into law:

* 20 May 2023: WO-2023-001 - Creation of Committees in the Westarctican Senate.
* 4 September 2023: WO-2023-003 - Renaming of [[Executive Committee Range]] and [[Hull Glacier]].
* 6 October 2024: WO-2024-004 - Creation of [[Westarctican Parks Service]].

* 5 March 2025: WO-2025-001 - Ordinance for Citizen Outreach
* 10 June 2025: WO-2025-002 - Creating the [[Boyd Glacier National Park]]

===Votes===
On 11 August 2025, the Senate voted on the confirmation of two newly-appointed government ministers. While the [[Duke of Waite]] was approved as [[Minister of Citizenship]], the [[Count of Dorchuck]] was vetoed as [[Foreign Minister]]. Although this was a routine vote, the veto was the first time the Senate had blocked the appointment of a government minister.

Peerage of Westarctica

2026-04-18T21:50:26Z

Westarctica: fixed title change

[[File:Peers Collage 2025.jpg|600px|thumb|Collage showing a small selection of Westarctica's peers as of 2025]]
The '''Peerage of Westarctica''' comprises all noble titles created in [[Westarctica]] from 2004 to the present day. The institution is technically older than Westarctica itself, having come into existence when the first noble titles were created for citizens of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]] in 2001, although most of these early titles were abolished in 2004.

Peers are recognized as having a voice in the nation's public debates, and their opinions, advice, and counsel, when offered, are to be taken into consideration by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Sovereign]] (who may or may not follow this counsel, but is expected to at least hear and weigh it).

In 2023, management and oversight of the Peerage of Westarctica was brought under the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis]].

==History of the Peerage==
The Peerage of Westarctica has been known by several different names since its creation.

During the era when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the collected nobles were simply known as "the Nobility." In 2002, when the [[Achaean Royal Charter]] was decreed, the name was formalized as "the [[Baronage]]." This name was retained in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]] of 2004. The Mandate also retired the title of "Earl," and those holding the rank were renamed "Counts."

In September 2012, when the first [[Charter of Westarctica]] was decreed, the nobles were labeled simply "nobility," however, in the second revision of the Charter, only a month later, [[Grand Duke Travis]] first added the word "hereditary" to the article on nobility. From this time forward, the group of nobles became known as the "Hereditary Nobility."

In July 2018, on the advice of the [[Royal Council]], Grand Duke Travis renamed the body of nobles the "Peerage of Westarctica." This was done to accommodate the many newly created Life Peers.

From 2 February 2021 - 4 July 2023, Grand Duke Travis suspended the sale of peerages, but continued to grant them to deserving supporters.

==Peerage Members==
A Westarctican Peer is any member of the Peerage.

The peers include all nobles, from the [[Grand Duke|Sovereign]] (Grand Duke or Grand Duchess) through [[Baronet|baronet/baronetess]]. The Sovereign may place greater value on the opinions of higher ranking peers before lower, as the former usually have more invested in the country's overall well being and future, but the thoughts of every peer are of considerable value and many of the country's [[Baron|barons]] have exercised greater influence over national policy than some of its [[Duke|dukes]] and [[Prince|princes]].

===Life and Hereditary Peerage===
A peer may be created for life or may be hereditary. A life peer is entitled to and holds their assigned rank from the moment it is received until death, unless the title is revoked for some reason by the Sovereign. A hereditary peer, on the other hand, is allowed to pass the title to their heirs, as they wish. In other respects, a life peer and a hereditary peer are indistinguishable in terms of rights or privileges, including the [[Order of Precedence in Westarctica|Order of Precedence]].

==Authority==
===Font of Honor===
The reigning Sovereign alone has the authority to grant peerages, and may do so for any reason. Peerages are bestowed by the Sovereign at their discretion. They may decide to confer with advisors on the suitability of a person, or on the specific rank to be bestowed. For example, [[Grand Duke Travis]] has asked for input from the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]] before making appointments on more than one occasion.

===Changes to the Peerage===
At the discretion of the Sovereign, the rank of a peer may be changed (either promoted or demoted) or an entire rank may be eliminated and its members assigned to a new rank. This happened, for example, with the rank of Westarctican [[count|earl]], a currently-defunct form of peer.

===The "Old Guard"===
Starting in 2012, nobles who had received their titles prior to [[Grand Duke Travis]]' 2006 abdication from the throne became informally known as the "[[Old Guard]]" out of respect to their long service to [[Westarctica]].

Recely Bluff

Westarctica: updated title change

[[File:Siple Map.jpg |thumb|right|Map of Mount Siple showing Recely Bluff to the north of the summit]]
'''Recely Bluff''' is a snow and rock bluff on the northeast slope of [[Mount Siple]] on [[Siple Island]].

The bluff is 7 nautical miles (13 km) northeast of the summit of the mountain.

==Discovery and name==
It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photography from 1959–65. It was named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Frank J. Recely, Jr., an American ionospheric physicist at [[Byrd Station]] in 1965.

==Peerage title==
On 10 January 2025, Thomas Williams was granted the [[peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Count of Recely in recognition of his support of [[Westarctica]]. After he was elevated to the rank of [[Duke]], it became one of His Grace's [[subordinate title]]s. His Grace subsequently requested that the title be transferred to his wife, Delilah Williams, who subsequently became the 2nd Countess of Recely.

On 15 February 2026, the Countess requested that the title be transferred to her sister, Savannah Hughes, who became the 3rd Countess of Recely.

Peerage of Westarctica

2026-04-18T21:48:18Z

Westarctica: /* Counts and Countesses */ updated Countess of Recely

[[File:Peers Collage 2025.jpg|600px|thumb|Collage showing a small selection of Westarctica's peers as of 2025]]
The '''Peerage of Westarctica''' comprises all noble titles created in [[Westarctica]] from 2004 to the present day. The institution is technically older than Westarctica itself, having come into existence when the first noble titles were created for citizens of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]] in 2001, although most of these early titles were abolished in 2004.

Peers are recognized as having a voice in the nation's public debates, and their opinions, advice, and counsel, when offered, are to be taken into consideration by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Sovereign]] (who may or may not follow this counsel, but is expected to at least hear and weigh it).

In 2023, management and oversight of the Peerage of Westarctica was brought under the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis]].

==History of the Peerage==
The Peerage of Westarctica has been known by several different names since its creation.

During the era when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the collected nobles were simply known as "the Nobility." In 2002, when the [[Achaean Royal Charter]] was decreed, the name was formalized as "the [[Baronage]]." This name was retained in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]] of 2004. The Mandate also retired the title of "Earl," and those holding the rank were renamed "Counts."

In September 2012, when the first [[Charter of Westarctica]] was decreed, the nobles were labeled simply "nobility," however, in the second revision of the Charter, only a month later, [[Grand Duke Travis]] first added the word "hereditary" to the article on nobility. From this time forward, the group of nobles became known as the "Hereditary Nobility."

In July 2018, on the advice of the [[Royal Council]], Grand Duke Travis renamed the body of nobles the "Peerage of Westarctica." This was done to accommodate the many newly created Life Peers.

From 2 February 2021 - 4 July 2023, Grand Duke Travis suspended the sale of peerages, but continued to grant them to deserving supporters.

==Peerage Members==
A Westarctican Peer is any member of the Peerage.

The peers include all nobles, from the [[Grand Duke|Sovereign]] (Grand Duke or Grand Duchess) through [[Baronet|baronet/baronetess]]. The Sovereign may place greater value on the opinions of higher ranking peers before lower, as the former usually have more invested in the country's overall well being and future, but the thoughts of every peer are of considerable value and many of the country's [[Baron|barons]] have exercised greater influence over national policy than some of its [[Duke|dukes]] and [[Prince|princes]].

===Life and Hereditary Peerage===
A peer may be created for life or may be hereditary. A life peer is entitled to and holds their assigned rank from the moment it is received until death, unless the title is revoked for some reason by the Sovereign. A hereditary peer, on the other hand, is allowed to pass the title to their heirs, as they wish. In other respects, a life peer and a hereditary peer are indistinguishable in terms of rights or privileges, including the [[Order of Precedence in Westarctica|Order of Precedence]].

==Authority==
===Font of Honor===
The reigning Sovereign alone has the authority to grant peerages, and may do so for any reason. Peerages are bestowed by the Sovereign at their discretion. They may decide to confer with advisors on the suitability of a person, or on the specific rank to be bestowed. For example, [[Grand Duke Travis]] has asked for input from the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]] before making appointments on more than one occasion.

===Changes to the Peerage===
At the discretion of the Sovereign, the rank of a peer may be changed (either promoted or demoted) or an entire rank may be eliminated and its members assigned to a new rank. This happened, for example, with the rank of Westarctican [[count|earl]], a currently-defunct form of peer.

===The "Old Guard"===
Starting in 2012, nobles who had received their titles prior to [[Grand Duke Travis]]' 2006 abdication from the throne became informally known as the "[[Old Guard]]" out of respect to their long service to [[Westarctica]].

Honorary Consular Corps

2026-04-15T05:39:12Z

Westarctica: added missing consul

[[File:Honorary Consul-Logo.jpg|thumb|350px|Logo of the Honorary Consular Corps]]
The '''Honorary Consular Corps''' is [[Westarctica]]'s primary diplomatic institution. It is staffed by volunteers who are carefully vetted by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] after passing the [[Honorary Consul Training Program]]. They are a key part of Westarctica's [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|foreign affairs program]].

==Duties==
Honorary Consuls serve as representatives of the government of Westarctica in their home countries. They are expected to liaison with other citizens of Westarctica who either reside in their same geographic area or speak their same language. When official diplomatic events occur in their region, the Consuls may be asked to represent Westarctica's interests at these functions. For this reason, the Consuls must be well-versed on Westarctica's history, its mission, and goals.

All Honorary Consuls receive a certificate with their diplomatic credentials as well as a metal lapel pin of the [[Flag of Westarctica]]. They are encouraged to wear the flag pin even when not working on official business as a way of establishing conversations about Westarctica.

Although Honorary Consuls are appointed by the Grand Duke, they are managed by the [[Foreign Minister]] and deliver quarterly reports on their activities to him.

==Chiefs of Mission Meeting==
[[File:Consuls1a.jpg|350px|thumb|Members of the foreign office meeting with Grand Duke Travis. (left to right: Honorary Consul to Spain, the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]], Grand Duke Travis, Honorary Consul to England, and Honorary Consul to Italy)]]
Starting in 2018, the [[Grand Duke Travis|Grand Duke]] and the [[Foreign Minister]] hold a one day meeting / reception for the members of the diplomatic corps known as the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]]. The first such meeting was held in Berlin on 2 November 2018 and was attended by Honorary Consuls from Italy, England, and Spain. It was decided that a similar event would be held every few years in a different country where Westarctica has a diplomatic presence.

==Ranks==
With good service and excellence in their work, Honorary Consuls can be promoted to higher diplomatic ranks. The rank of Ambassador is reserved for representatives to countries which accord full diplomatic recognition to [[Westarctica]] (presently, only other [[micronation]]s). The ranks of Westarctica's diplomats are, in decreasing order of precedence:

* Ambassador
* Consul-General
* Consul
* Vice-Consul
* Honorary Consul

==List of Honorary Consuls==
As of 15 April 2026, the current roster of Honorary Consuls is:

Peerage of Westarctica

2026-04-13T05:36:24Z

Westarctica: /* Barons and Baronesses */ added new baron

[[File:Peers Collage 2025.jpg|600px|thumb|Collage showing a small selection of Westarctica's peers as of 2025]]
The '''Peerage of Westarctica''' comprises all noble titles created in [[Westarctica]] from 2004 to the present day. The institution is technically older than Westarctica itself, having come into existence when the first noble titles were created for citizens of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]] in 2001, although most of these early titles were abolished in 2004.

Peers are recognized as having a voice in the nation's public debates, and their opinions, advice, and counsel, when offered, are to be taken into consideration by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Sovereign]] (who may or may not follow this counsel, but is expected to at least hear and weigh it).

In 2023, management and oversight of the Peerage of Westarctica was brought under the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis]].

==History of the Peerage==
The Peerage of Westarctica has been known by several different names since its creation.

During the era when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the collected nobles were simply known as "the Nobility." In 2002, when the [[Achaean Royal Charter]] was decreed, the name was formalized as "the [[Baronage]]." This name was retained in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]] of 2004. The Mandate also retired the title of "Earl," and those holding the rank were renamed "Counts."

In September 2012, when the first [[Charter of Westarctica]] was decreed, the nobles were labeled simply "nobility," however, in the second revision of the Charter, only a month later, [[Grand Duke Travis]] first added the word "hereditary" to the article on nobility. From this time forward, the group of nobles became known as the "Hereditary Nobility."

In July 2018, on the advice of the [[Royal Council]], Grand Duke Travis renamed the body of nobles the "Peerage of Westarctica." This was done to accommodate the many newly created Life Peers.

From 2 February 2021 - 4 July 2023, Grand Duke Travis suspended the sale of peerages, but continued to grant them to deserving supporters.

==Peerage Members==
A Westarctican Peer is any member of the Peerage.

The peers include all nobles, from the [[Grand Duke|Sovereign]] (Grand Duke or Grand Duchess) through [[Baronet|baronet/baronetess]]. The Sovereign may place greater value on the opinions of higher ranking peers before lower, as the former usually have more invested in the country's overall well being and future, but the thoughts of every peer are of considerable value and many of the country's [[Baron|barons]] have exercised greater influence over national policy than some of its [[Duke|dukes]] and [[Prince|princes]].

===Life and Hereditary Peerage===
A peer may be created for life or may be hereditary. A life peer is entitled to and holds their assigned rank from the moment it is received until death, unless the title is revoked for some reason by the Sovereign. A hereditary peer, on the other hand, is allowed to pass the title to their heirs, as they wish. In other respects, a life peer and a hereditary peer are indistinguishable in terms of rights or privileges, including the [[Order of Precedence in Westarctica|Order of Precedence]].

==Authority==
===Font of Honor===
The reigning Sovereign alone has the authority to grant peerages, and may do so for any reason. Peerages are bestowed by the Sovereign at their discretion. They may decide to confer with advisors on the suitability of a person, or on the specific rank to be bestowed. For example, [[Grand Duke Travis]] has asked for input from the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]] before making appointments on more than one occasion.

===Changes to the Peerage===
At the discretion of the Sovereign, the rank of a peer may be changed (either promoted or demoted) or an entire rank may be eliminated and its members assigned to a new rank. This happened, for example, with the rank of Westarctican [[count|earl]], a currently-defunct form of peer.

===The "Old Guard"===
Starting in 2012, nobles who had received their titles prior to [[Grand Duke Travis]]' 2006 abdication from the throne became informally known as the "[[Old Guard]]" out of respect to their long service to [[Westarctica]].

McHenry Range Conservation Area

2026-04-13T05:30:56Z

Westarctica:

[[File:Mount Sidley.png|thumb|Peak of Mount Sidley in the Conservation Area]]
The '''McHenry Range Conservation Area''' (76°50′S 126°06′W) is a protected area of [[Westarctica]] created to preserve the volcanic landscape of the [[McHenry Range]]. It was created via Royal Decree on 20 April 2025 by [[Grand Duke Travis]]. It falls under the oversight of the [[Westarctican Parks Service]].

==History==
The range was discovered on 15 December 1940 by the United States Antarctic Service expedition on a reconnaissance flight. It was named Executive Committee Range for the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service Executive Committee. Individual mountains (e.g. [[Mount Hampton]], [[Mount Waesche]]) are named in honor of members of the committee, except for [[Mount Sidley]], the most imposing mountain in the range, which was discovered and named by [[Richard E. Byrd|Rear Admiral Byrd]] in 1934. The entire range was mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photography, 1958-60.

In November 2013, Lough et al. reported deep long period volcanic earthquakes centered at depths of 30-40 km approximately 55 km S of Mount Sidley that were interpreted as indications of present deep crustal magmatic activity beneath the Executive Committee Range. Ice penetrating radar results reported in this study indicated a sub-ice topographic feature, interpreted as a volcano, above the seismic swarms. The study also reported a mid-icecap (1400 m depth) ash layer about 8,000 years old that was interpreted as probably originating at nearby Mount Waesche.

On 4 September 2023, the [[Senate of Westarctica]] passed [[Westarctican Ordinance]] WO-2023-003 which renamed the Executive Committee Range to the McHenry Range, in honor of [[Grand Duke Travis]]. The justification for the change was that the members of the committee are all honored with geographic features within the range, and a desire to memorialize the efforts of Grand Duke Travis to preserve and raise awareness for Westarctica.

The McHenry Range was on the January 2024 list of ten sites that should be considered for eventual protection as a national park of Westarctica. The range was initially considered for protection as a national monument, as its striking vistas and Mount Sidley's status as the highest volcanic mountain on the continent of Antarctica draw world-class hikers; most notably those tackling the Volcanic Seven Summits. Despite this, it was decided that recent indications of deep-earth magma activity required more research into the likelihood of parts of the range becoming active again in the near future. While this is being conducted, it was recommended to protect the site as a Conservation Zone, which allows for more finely tuned recommendations of responsible access.

It was on the list of five recommended areas to protect made by [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Jordan Farmer]] to [[Grand Duke Travis]] in March of 2025. On 20 April 2025, Grand Duke Travis declared the McHenry Range a conservation zone under the oversight of the [[Westarctican Parks Service]]. McHenry Range Conservation Zone has been identified as a potential candidate for elevation to the status of national park, but more research into the volcanic factors of the area are being conducted in order to ensure this action is appropriate first. The site was renamed McHenry Range Conservation Area on 10 June 2025.

===Conservans Protectorem===
Those [[Peerage of Westarctica|nobles]] whose titles were named for features within the memorial when it was established were afforded the additional honorific Conservans Protectorem to use in conjunction with said title. McHenry Range Conservation Area granted that honorific to the following:

* Duke of Boudette
* Duke of Hampton
* Duke of Le Vaux
* Duke of Waesche
* Count of Mintz
* Viscount of Annexstad
* Baron of Bennett
* Baroness of Feyerharm
* Baron of Lavris
* Baron of Weiss

==Conservation==
McHenry Range Conservation Area's roughly 40,700 acres (164.7 square kilometers) is protected under category III (national monument or feature) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. These protections mean that conservation efforts are primarily aimed at the preservation of the geologic and natural landscape. Although not the primary concern, efforts are also made to protect biodiversity found within its boundaries.

==Features==
The area comprises the five mountains of the McHenry Range, which includes Mount Sidley, [[Antarctica|Antarctica's]] highest volcanic mountain.

Peerage of Westarctica

2026-03-27T17:12:41Z

Westarctica: /* Baronets and Baronetesses */ added new baronet

[[File:Peers Collage 2025.jpg|600px|thumb|Collage showing a small selection of Westarctica's peers as of 2025]]
The '''Peerage of Westarctica''' comprises all noble titles created in [[Westarctica]] from 2004 to the present day. The institution is technically older than Westarctica itself, having come into existence when the first noble titles were created for citizens of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]] in 2001, although most of these early titles were abolished in 2004.

Peers are recognized as having a voice in the nation's public debates, and their opinions, advice, and counsel, when offered, are to be taken into consideration by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Sovereign]] (who may or may not follow this counsel, but is expected to at least hear and weigh it).

In 2023, management and oversight of the Peerage of Westarctica was brought under the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis]].

==History of the Peerage==
The Peerage of Westarctica has been known by several different names since its creation.

During the era when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]], the collected nobles were simply known as "the Nobility." In 2002, when the [[Achaean Royal Charter]] was decreed, the name was formalized as "the [[Baronage]]." This name was retained in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]] of 2004. The Mandate also retired the title of "Earl," and those holding the rank were renamed "Counts."

In September 2012, when the first [[Charter of Westarctica]] was decreed, the nobles were labeled simply "nobility," however, in the second revision of the Charter, only a month later, [[Grand Duke Travis]] first added the word "hereditary" to the article on nobility. From this time forward, the group of nobles became known as the "Hereditary Nobility."

In July 2018, on the advice of the [[Royal Council]], Grand Duke Travis renamed the body of nobles the "Peerage of Westarctica." This was done to accommodate the many newly created Life Peers.

From 2 February 2021 - 4 July 2023, Grand Duke Travis suspended the sale of peerages, but continued to grant them to deserving supporters.

==Peerage Members==
A Westarctican Peer is any member of the Peerage.

The peers include all nobles, from the [[Grand Duke|Sovereign]] (Grand Duke or Grand Duchess) through [[Baronet|baronet/baronetess]]. The Sovereign may place greater value on the opinions of higher ranking peers before lower, as the former usually have more invested in the country's overall well being and future, but the thoughts of every peer are of considerable value and many of the country's [[Baron|barons]] have exercised greater influence over national policy than some of its [[Duke|dukes]] and [[Prince|princes]].

===Life and Hereditary Peerage===
A peer may be created for life or may be hereditary. A life peer is entitled to and holds their assigned rank from the moment it is received until death, unless the title is revoked for some reason by the Sovereign. A hereditary peer, on the other hand, is allowed to pass the title to their heirs, as they wish. In other respects, a life peer and a hereditary peer are indistinguishable in terms of rights or privileges, including the [[Order of Precedence in Westarctica|Order of Precedence]].

==Authority==
===Font of Honor===
The reigning Sovereign alone has the authority to grant peerages, and may do so for any reason. Peerages are bestowed by the Sovereign at their discretion. They may decide to confer with advisors on the suitability of a person, or on the specific rank to be bestowed. For example, [[Grand Duke Travis]] has asked for input from the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]] before making appointments on more than one occasion.

===Changes to the Peerage===
At the discretion of the Sovereign, the rank of a peer may be changed (either promoted or demoted) or an entire rank may be eliminated and its members assigned to a new rank. This happened, for example, with the rank of Westarctican [[count|earl]], a currently-defunct form of peer.

===The "Old Guard"===
Starting in 2012, nobles who had received their titles prior to [[Grand Duke Travis]]' 2006 abdication from the throne became informally known as the "[[Old Guard]]" out of respect to their long service to [[Westarctica]].

Westarctica: added note on origin of baronet titles in Westarctica

[[File:Baron Havola.jpg|thumb|300px|Baron of Havola, once reduced to the rank of baronet, was the first holder of the baronet title in Westarctica]]
A '''Baronet''' (feminine '''Baronetess''') is the lowest ranking order of nobility within [[Westarctica]], occurring directly below the title of [[Baron]]. In a departure from the standards utilized by the United Kingdom, baronets are considered Westarctican [[Peerage of Westarctica|peers]]. Those bearing the title of baronet are to be addressed as "Sir" ("Dame" if female) in correspondence.

The majority of baronet titles in Westarctica consist of ''noble-sounding'' place names generated by [[Grand Duke Travis]] and are not physical locations within the territory.

==History of the title==
The term baronet has medieval origins. Sir Thomas de La More (1322), describing the Battle of Boroughbridge, mentioned that baronets took part, along with barons and knights. Edward III is known to have created eight baronets in 1328. The title of baronet was initially conferred upon noblemen who lost the right of individual summons to Parliament, and was used in this sense in a statute of Richard II. A similar title of lower rank was banneret.

Present-day baronets in the United Kingdom date from 1611 when King James I granted letters patent to 200 gentlemen of good birth with an income of at least £1,000 a year; in return for the honor, each was required to pay for the upkeep of thirty soldiers for three years amounting to £1,095, in those days a very large sum. In 1619 James I established the Baronetage of Ireland; Charles I in 1625 created the Baronetages of Scotland and Nova Scotia. The new baronets were each required to pay 2,000 marks or to support six colonial settlers for two years. Over a hundred of these baronetcies, now familiarly known as Scottish baronetcies, survive to this day.

As a result of the Union of England and Scotland in 1707, all future creations were styled "baronets of Great Britain." Following the Union of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801, new creations were styled as "baronets of the United Kingdom."

==Usage in Westarctica==
[[File:Baron of Tearmunn - Troy Thompson1.jpg|thumb|300px|Baronet of Brandenberger, Westarctica's first authentic Baronet]]
The title of Baronet was originally utilized by [[Grand Duke Travis]] as a means of punishing nobles by demoting them, but still allowing them to remain in the [[Peerage of Westarctica]]. This practice was often coupled with branding them a [[Disgraced noble]].

In 2005, [[Baron of Lee-Tearmunn|Troy Thompson]], the Deputy [[Minister of Defense]], was granted the the first authentic title of Baronet as the Baronet of Brandenberger, so-named for [[Brandenberger Bluff]], a steep rock bluff on the far northern side of [[Mount Berlin]]. Later that year, his title was elevated to that of Baron, although he retained his baronetcy as a [[subordinate title]].

===2015===
After Grand Duke Travis revised the system of peerages in 2015, all existing disgraced Baronets were returned to their original peerage ranks, leaving the nation without any Baronets. This situation didn't last long, however, as title of Baronet was reimagined as a kind of [[Orders of Westarctica|knighthood]] whereby several individuals would hold the same title. For example, there would be a "1st, 2nd, 3rd, Baronet of Westarctica," each held by a different person simultaneously. However, this arrangement proved to be extremely unpopular and only two Baronets were created between 2015 - 2018: one Baronet of the [[South Pole]] and one Baronet of Westarctica.

===2018===
In 2018, following the advice of the [[Royal Council]], the title of Baronet was reestablished as the lowest rank of nobility in the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage]]. One useful application for the title has been to grant it as a [[courtesy title]] to family members of nobles, especially for [[LGBT rights in Westarctica|same-sex couples]] where one person holds the rank of Baron/Baroness and giving both individuals the same title might cause confusion.

Duke

2026-03-20T22:36:47Z

Westarctica: /* Usage in Westarctica */

A [[duke]] is a senior rank in the [[Peerage of Westarctica]]. It is below that of [[prince]]/ princess and above that of [[marquis]]/ marquise. Dukedoms/Duchies are often named for large geographic features like peninsulas or mountain ranges.

==History of the title==
The title of duke has been in continuous usage since the early days of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica]].

===Usage in the Achaean Territory===
The [[Achaean Royal Charter]] had several unusual articles pertaining to dukes. Articles 27-31 of the charter detailed not only how a duke should be addressed, but also what would happen to dukes who no longer held their title though either resignation or being [[disbarred]]. This system would have allowed multiple individuals to hold the same title simultaneously while all were still living, with the first being called the 1st Duke and later holders being called by their respective number.

Article 30 of the charter permitted some former dukes to be granted the title of Arch-Duke with a salary provided by the government and advisory responsibilities over their former dukedom.

===Usage in Westarctica===
When [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage titles]] were formalized and revised to their present state in 2005, the title of duke became mostly associated with senior ministers of the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet]]. This tradition has continued to the present day, as nearly all senior members of the [[Royal Council]] bear the title of duke.

==Notable dukes==
* [[Duke of Ravencroft]] - Former Grand Duke Philip of Westarctica
* [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin]] - Former Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence of Westarctica
* [[Duke of Waesche]] - [[Prime Minister of Westarctica]] from 2010 - 2017
* [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula]] - [[Prime Minister of Westarctica]] from 2019 - 2023
* [[1st Duke of Goldstream]] - [[Foreign Minister]] from 2018 - 2020

'''[[Hooverville]]''' is a city in the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. It is the only permanent structure in the entire colony. The [[Count of Dendtler]] is the Mayor of Hooverville. It lies within the Barony of Bastanchury in the [[Principality of Bohemia]]. During the [[Invasion of Calsahara|Liberation of Calsahara]], Hooverville was considered a vital target for the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]]. Shortly after [[Otisburg]] was overrun, the Royal Guards marched on Hooverville and victory was proclaimed from the house's broken steps.

Westarctica: updated new article

[[File:Crabeater Pléneau Bay.jpg|250px|left]]
The '''[[crabeater seal]]''' is a true seal with a circumpolar distribution around the coast of [[Antarctica]]. They are found primarily on the free-floating [[pack ice]] that extends seasonally out from the Antarctic coast, which they use as a platform for resting, mating, social aggregation and accessing their prey. They are by far the most abundant seal species in the world. While population estimates are uncertain, there are at least 7 million and possibly as many as 75 million individuals. This success of this species is due to its specialized predation on the abundant [[Antarctic krill]] of the [[Southern Ocean]], for which it has uniquely adapted, sieve-like tooth structure.

Despite its name, crabeater seals do not eat crabs. As well as being an important [[krill]] predator, the crabeater seal is an important component of the diet of [[leopard seal|leopard seals]], which consume about 80% of all crabeater pups.

Honorary Consular Corps

2026-03-19T13:33:53Z

Westarctica: fixed gallery and added picture

[[File:Honorary Consul-Logo.jpg|thumb|350px|Logo of the Honorary Consular Corps]]
The '''Honorary Consular Corps''' is [[Westarctica]]'s primary diplomatic institution. It is staffed by volunteers who are carefully vetted by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] after passing the [[Honorary Consul Training Program]]. They are a key part of Westarctica's [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|foreign affairs program]].

==Duties==
Honorary Consuls serve as representatives of the government of Westarctica in their home countries. They are expected to liaison with other citizens of Westarctica who either reside in their same geographic area or speak their same language. When official diplomatic events occur in their region, the Consuls may be asked to represent Westarctica's interests at these functions. For this reason, the Consuls must be well-versed on Westarctica's history, its mission, and goals.

All Honorary Consuls receive a certificate with their diplomatic credentials as well as a metal lapel pin of the [[Flag of Westarctica]]. They are encouraged to wear the flag pin even when not working on official business as a way of establishing conversations about Westarctica.

Although Honorary Consuls are appointed by the Grand Duke, they are managed by the [[Foreign Minister]] and deliver quarterly reports on their activities to him.

==Chiefs of Mission Meeting==
[[File:Consuls1a.jpg|350px|thumb|Members of the foreign office meeting with Grand Duke Travis. (left to right: Honorary Consul to Spain, the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]], Grand Duke Travis, Honorary Consul to England, and Honorary Consul to Italy)]]
Starting in 2018, the [[Grand Duke Travis|Grand Duke]] and the [[Foreign Minister]] hold a one day meeting / reception for the members of the diplomatic corps known as the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]]. The first such meeting was held in Berlin on 2 November 2018 and was attended by Honorary Consuls from Italy, England, and Spain. It was decided that a similar event would be held every few years in a different country where Westarctica has a diplomatic presence.

==Ranks==
With good service and excellence in their work, Honorary Consuls can be promoted to higher diplomatic ranks. The rank of Ambassador is reserved for representatives to countries which accord full diplomatic recognition to [[Westarctica]] (presently, only other [[micronation]]s). The ranks of Westarctica's diplomats are, in decreasing order of precedence:

* Ambassador
* Consul-General
* Consul
* Vice-Consul
* Honorary Consul

==List of Honorary Consuls==
As of 19 March 2026, the current roster of Honorary Consuls is:

Minister of Culture

2026-03-19T13:28:49Z

Westarctica:

The '''Minister of Culture''' is a cabinet-level position in the [[Government of Westarctica]]. The Minister of Culture holds a seat on the [[Royal Council]].

==History==
The promotion of a unique [[Westarctica]]n culture was not a priority during most phases of Westarctica's history. [[Grand Duke Travis]] felt that a national culture should create itself based on the personalities of its citizens. In the past, any duties that might have fallen to a Minister of Culture were handled by the [[Minister of Information]].

==Creation of the office==
Throughout much of 2019, there was discussion about creating a cabinet position that could be devoted to cultural outreach among the citizens of the nation. In January 2020, the [[Duke of Fox Grove]] resigned as [[Minister of Citizenship & Immigration]] and was appointed the first Minister of Culture.

==Duties==
The primary responsibility of the Minister of Culture is launching and promoting cultural initiatives that will build a sense of community among Westarctica's citizens. These include:

* The [[Westarctica Art Expo]]
* Publication of [[Westarctica Quarterly]]
* Organizing an annual team for [[GISH]]
* Managing the [[Minister of Sports]]

Order of the Snowflake

2026-03-19T12:35:50Z

Westarctica: added Michael's upgrade

[[File:Snowflake-Regalia-sm.jpg|500px|thumb|Regalia for the four grades of knighthoods in the Order of the Snowflake]]
The '''Order of the Snowflake''' is the second highest [[Orders of Westarctica|Order of Westarctica]]. The intention of the order is to honor those who have provided a service to [[Westarctica]]. It was created in January 2015.

There are four classes of the order:

* Knight/Dame Grand Cross
* Knight/Dame Grand Commander
* Knight/Dame Commander
* Knight/Dame

Only the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] himself has the power to bestow new knighthoods and thus far, he has awarded the medal to foreign dignitaries, artists, prominent nobles, and other supporters of Westarctica. All knights and dames receive the regalia of the class being bestowed; the Order of the Snowflake is always awarded for life. Membership entitles the bearer to attach the post-nomial "KtS" ("Knight of the Snowflake") or "DtS" ("Dame of the Snowflake") following their name in correspondence and other forms of written address (business cards, place settings, calling cards, etc.).

==Distribution of classes==
[[File:Order of the Snowflake Star.jpg|300px|thumb|Breast star for the grade of Knight Grand Commander]]
===Knight Grand Cross===
The highest grade, that of Knight Grand Cross, is primarily reserved for Heads of State, members of the [[Royal Family of Westarctica|Royal Family]], and members of the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis|Royal Household]]. It remains the most rarely awarded class.

The regalia for this class consists of a silver breast star with over 100 Austrian rhinestone crystals. In the center of the star is a snowflake symbol encased in glass. From 2015 - 2025, these stars were hand-crafted by Grand Duke Travis, but in August 2025, he commissioned the company that makes the silver stars to create a custom version based on his design. After this, the criteria for receiving the grade was expanded and it became limited to 30 members (including the sovereign).

===Knight Grand Commander===
On 12 August 2020, [[Grand Duke Travis]] created the class of Knight Grand Commander as a way to further recognize distinguished service from existing knights and dames. This grade is intended for existing Knight or Dame Commanders who have held the honor for at least two years, although exceptions are sometimes made for foreign government officials or significant achievements from [[Westarctica]]n citizens. The regalia is a silver breast star modeled after the star of the Order of the British Empire. In the center of the star is a blue enamel badge with the words "ORDER OF THE SNOWFLAKE" in white lettering surrounding a white enamel snowflake design.

===Knight Commander===
The grade of Knight Commander is the most frequently awarded class and has been given to many allies of Westarctica as well as many citizens and nobles in recognition of their significant contributions to the nation. The regalia for this class is a blue and white striped ribbon drape with a snowflake pendant. The pendant is silver with white enamel and a single rhinestone crystal in the center. Originally, these pendants were sourced from a retail supplier; however, in 2020, [[Grand Duke Travis]] arranged to have custom pendants manufactured after the original pieces were discontinued.

===Knight===
The class of Knight is often awarded to foreign diplomats where the class of Knight Commander might not be appropriate when that grade was already held by the recipient's Head of State or Head of Government. The original regalia for this class was a small pewter snowflake, which was updated in October 2020 along with the regalia for the other classes. The current regalia consists of a blue drape ribbon with a solid white stripe and a brushed silver snowflake pendant with a single crystal in the center. The pendant is identical to the pendant used for for the grade of Knight Commander, but without the white enamel.

His Lordship, the '''Count of Dorchuck''', is a member of the [[Peerage of Westarctica]] and [[Westarctica]]'s former [[Foreign Minister]].

==Activities with Westarctica==
The count was introduced to Westarctica by his friends, Dr. Stephen Winkler, the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]] and the Baron of [[Mount Swan|Swan]] (later raised to [[2nd Duke of Goldstream]]) in 2019. Shortly after learning about Westarctica's goals and mission, he was appointed to the post of Vice Consul for Rhode Island.

In 2020, he was granted the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Count of Dorchuck, so-named for [[Dorchuck Glacier]].

In August 2023, he met [[Grand Duke Travis]] in Boston, Massachusetts during an informal summit of the New England Honorary Consuls. At this time, he was awarded a knighthood in the [[Order of the Polar Cross]] in recognition of his work as an advocate for Westarctica.

After the passing of the 1st Duke of Goldstream, his [[subordinate title]], Viscount Grier (named for [[Mount Grier]]) was bestowed upon the Count of Dorchuck in the 2023 Anniversary Honors [[Royal Decrees|Royal Decree]].

===Foreign Minister===
After [[Prince Charles of Raphania]] resigned from the post of [[Foreign Minister]] in October 2024, the Count of Dorchuck was the first person to volunteer to fill the vacant post. One month later, following approval from the [[Prime Minister]], the [[Duke of Steventon]], he was appointed as the new Foreign Minister on 12 November 2024.

In July 2025, the [[Jain affair]] caused significant distress for the Foreign Office and [[Westarctica]]'s international reputation. The scandal was managed by the [[Christopher Watson|Deputy Foreign Minister]], who began damage control operations immediately after the news stories began breaking.

On 11 August 2025, the [[Senate of Westarctica]] voted to deny his appointment as Foreign Minister and he was immediately retired from the role.

===Westarctica Ice Krakens===
The count has been an avid ice hockey player for many years and was instrumental in forming Westarctica's ice hockey team, the Ice Krakens. The team trains and plays throughout New England every winter hockey season.

In December 2024, he was appointed alternate captain of the Ice Krakens by the [[Minister of Sports]].

Viceroy

2026-03-11T04:42:24Z

Westarctica: name change

A '''viceroy''' (/ˈvaɪsrɔɪ/) is an official who reigns over a polity in the name of and as the representative of the monarch of the territory.

The term derives from the Latin prefix ''vice-'', meaning "in the place of" and the Anglo-Norman ''roy'', meaning "king." This denotes the position as one who acts on behalf of a king or monarch. A viceroy's territory may be called a viceroyalty, though this term is not always applied. The adjective form is viceregal, less often viceroyal. The term vicereine is sometimes used to indicate a female viceroy ''suo jure'', although viceroy can serve as a gender-neutral term. Vicereine is more commonly used to indicate a viceroy's wife, known as the viceregal consort.

The position of a viceroy is by royal appointment rather than a [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]].

==In Westarctica==
The most prominent viceroy in [[Westarctica]] is [[Crown Prince Ashton Roman]], who was appointed Viceroy of [[Peter I Island]] on 15 January 2005, when he was only 1-year-old. This title was intended to be merely a [[courtesy title]] for the heir to the throne with no real authority. Prince Ashton bore this ceremonial title even during the years when his father, [[Grand Duke Travis]], was not the reigning [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]].

The second viceroy appointed by the [[government of Westarctica]] was the Viceroy of [[Calsahara]]. After the 2017 [[invasion of Calsahara]] by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]], the reigning [[King of Calsahara]] was dethroned and given the title Viceroy of Calsahara. To ensure his cooperation with the colonial administration, a military governor, the [[Captain-General of Calsahara]] was simultaneously appointed as co-executive of the colony.

This set a precedent for all future colonial governors to bear the title of [[prince]], viceroy, or both.

===Standardization of colonial viceroys===
On 15 March 2024, [[Grand Duke Travis]] issued a [[Royal Decrees|Royal Decree]] naming four colonial governors as viceroys over their respective territories. These princely authorities were given the power of the Grand Duke within their colony. This decree was the first step in granting increased autonomy to Westarctica's colonial possessions.

In the [[Order of Precedence in Westarctica|order of precedence]], viceroys occupy the status formerly held by the colonial governors, above peers, but under high [[Government of Westarctica|government officials]].

===Current Westarctican viceroys===

Conference of Santiago

Westarctica: name change

[[File:Conf Santiago.png|400px|thumb|Conference of Santiago Logo]]
The '''Conference of Santiago''' (''Portuguese'': '''Conferência de Santiago''' • ''Spanish'': '''Conferencia de Santiago''' • ''French'': '''Conférence de Santiago'''), also abbreviated as '''CS''', is an [[micronation|intermicronational]] organisation and supranational union whose main objective is to promote relations between secessionist (also called derivative) micronations and the development of secessionism/derivatism by formulating rules, accordances and treaties and providing micronationalists with the proper support to engage in secessionist micronationalism.

The current Secretary-General is [[Grand Duke Travis]] of [[Westarctica]], who was elected to a six month term on 22 February 2026.

==History==
The CS was founded in 7 April 2020 by the Treaty of Santiago on the initiative of King Thomas I of Quinta Velha as a direct consequence of the process that led to the splitting of the simulationist-dominated Lusophone Sector and the creation of the [[Brazilian Antarctica|Brazil]]ian sector. Although formally established by the Treaty of Santiago, the CS has its premises established by the Treaty of Persenburg nd follows the definitions detailed in the Protocol of Goetha, both documents authored by the Emperor Oscar I of [[Empire of Karnia-Ruthenia|Karnia-Ruthenia]] and which became requirements for the admissions process to the organization. Subsequently, the Convention of Mauritsstad, which identifies micronations that do not claim geographic territory as sovereign entities analogous to secessionist states (they were labeled virtualists), also became a key document and requirement for the admission process to the CS.

During its first year and a half, CS self-identified as a regional organization and became the most relevant intermicronational organization in South America and in the Lusophone and Spanish-speaking worlds due to its relationship development, intersectoral activity, intermicronational recognition and content production, which eventually led CS to abandon its regionality and become an organization with a global reach, with a presence in North America, Europe and Asia.

==Goals==
According to the Treaty of Santiago, the namesake Conference aims to "promote the derivative micronationalism [secessionism] among practitioners of micronationalism wether they be Brazilians or speakers of the Portuguese language [and] [...] support new derivative projects, regardless of political system, religion or government" observing the definition of the Protocol of Goetha. The Conference's ultimate goal is to provide secessionist micronations a safe heaven and a political stage where to act in consensus with its peers.

Further, as amended by the Conferential Statute in 1 August 2021, the Conference of Santiago's goal expanded to include not only Brazilians and Portuguese-speakers, or Hispanics, as ''de facto'' already included by then, but to promote secessionist micronationalism everywhere, while respecting other forms of micronational practices and even simulationism, still regarded as a different practice than micronationalism.

==Structure==
The Conference of Santiago works as an intergovernmental elective direct democracy headed by the Secretary-General of the Conference of Santiago who is elected by the Heads of State of the member states for a term of 6 months with possibility of re-election. The Secretary-General is the chief administrative officer and speaker of the Conference of Santiago Plenary, which is the main administrative body of the organization, formally composed by the Heads of State of the member states of the conference which may be represented by duly appointed members of his or her respective government.

Formal plenary sessions may be convened by any CS member state; in them, representatives of member states vote to approve or reject proposals previously discussed and listed, as well as can introduce new bills and policy proposals for future voting. The approval or rejection of proposals is subject to a simple majority vote with a minimum quorum of three votes either in favor or against, within the time period determined for the vote.

==Requirements for membership==
Following the promulgation of the Statute of the Conference of Santiago, the criteria for membership was padronized. It has since abbandoned the geographical requirement for a micronation to have its territory based in South America. Instead, it is required for a micronation to ratify the four main documents issued by the Conference, which are the Treaty of Persenburg, the Protocol of Goetha, the Convention of Mauritsstad and the Treaty of Santiago, to have a verifiable existence for at least 2 months, to not adhere to simulationism or geofiction, to not be at war with any other micronation, to have a stable government and population.

The criteria according to the Statute of the Conference:

* Ratify the Treaty of Persenburg;
* Ratify the Protocol of Goetha;
* Ratify the Convention of Mauritsstad;
* Ratify the Treaty of Santiago;
* Have a verifiable territory;
* Have verifiable existence for at least 2 months;
* Participate at the Plenary for two months without right to vote, in a propositive and positive way, being this disposition able to be suspended through approval by verified majority of the members of the Plenary;
* Don't be imaginary, fictional or classified as “exercise of historical modelism”
* Don't being involved in intermicronational conflicts;
* Have stable government, population and act of foundation.

==Summits==
Since establishment there have been eleven formal head of state summits. They were called on the Conference of Santiago's discord server, but usually, the capital of the micronation whose head of state presides over the summit (or, later, presides over the Conference as Secretary-General) is formally entrusted with hosting the summit, as the principle of extraterritoriality has been applied to the virtual space where the conference summits has taken place. Nonetheless, the capital of Quinta Velha, the city of Santiago do Sacramento, is the formal location of the Conference of Santiago's headquarters, as implicitly established by the Treaty of Santiago. So far, Persenburg, capital of [[Empire of Karnia-Ruthenia|Karnia-Ruthenia]], has hosted the most summits, eight in total.

Two physical summits have taken place since the founding of the CS in 2020. The first, that same year, between the Emperor of Karnia and King of Ruthenia and the King of Luna, accompanied by his wife, in the city of São Paulo, [[Brazilian Antarctica|Brazil]]. The second Physical Summit took place in Montreal, Canada, between the Minister-President of [[Newgraviate of Saint-Castin|Saint-Castin]] and the Sovereign Princess of [[Principality of Sancratosia|Sancratosia]].

In addition, the Santiago Conference participated in other events with other intermicronational organizations, such as the ASAM-GUM-CS summit hosted by The Radiator micronation, between representatives of the Association of South Asian Micronations, the [[Grand Unified Micronational]]. In August 2022 the CS was represented at the [[MicroCon 2022]], the biggest micronational event in the world, which took place in Las Vegas, United States, becoming the first South American [origin] representation in the history of [[MicroCon]].

==Requirements for membership==
Following the promulgation of the Statute of the Conference of Santiago, the criteria for membership was patronized. It has since abandoned the geographical requirement for a micronation to have its territory based in South America. Instead, it is required for a [[micronation]] to ratify the four main documents issued by the Conference, which are the Treaty of Persenburg, the Protocol of Goetha, the Convention of Mauritsstad, and the Treaty of Santiago, to have a verifiable existence for at least 2 months, to not adhere to simulationism or geofiction, to not be at war with any other micronation, to have a stable government and population.

Additional criteria according to the Statute of the Conference:

*Have a verifiable territory;
*Have verifiable existence for at least 2 months;
*Participate at the Plenary for two months without right to vote, in a propositive and positive way, being this disposition able to be suspended through approval by verified majority of the members of the Plenary;
*Don't be imaginary, fictional or classified as “exercise of historical modelism”;
*Don't being involved in intermicronational conflicts;
*Have stable government, population and act of foundation.

Friendship Cross of Kolios

2026-03-11T04:41:24Z

Westarctica:

[[File:Kolios Friendship Cross.jpg|250px|thumb|The Friendship Cross of Kolios - Gold Award medal]]
The '''Friendship Cross of Kolios''' is a non-chivalric award of the [[Principality of Kolios]]. It is one of three active awards in the [[Orders and Decorations of Kolios|Kolios honors system]].

==Degrees==
There are two degrees of the Friendship Cross. One is reserved for foreign heads of the state, the other is for other foreigners.

* The Gold award is presented to foreign heads of state.
* The Silver award is presented to all other foreign representatives.

==History==
The Friendship Cross was created in February 2023 by [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prince Garibald]] during his brief reign as sovereign of the [[Principality of Kolios]]. The first awardees received the honor as part of the [[Honors List for the Accession of Prince Garibald]] in that same month.

After the [[Marana Accords]] were finalized, Kolios became a protectorate of [[Westarctica]], although it continues to maintain its own unique honors system. Although the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] is the sovereign ruler of Kolios, the Friendship Cross is awarded by the Governor-General of Kolios as an award specific to the protectorate.

The '''Westarctica-Raphania War''' known within [[Westarctica]] as the '''War With Raphania''' was a [[micronation|micronational]] conflict between the Grand Duchy of Westarctica and the [[Raphania|Grand Emirate of Raphania]]. It was waged primarily through a war of words and posturing before the conflict was settled through negotiations between the leaders of the two countries.

==Background==
During [[MicroCon 2022]], the leaders of Raphania and Westarctica discussed the possibility of Raphania becoming a colony of Westarctica in the same manner as [[Calsahara]] had in 2017. [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prime Minister Farmer]] and [[Prince Charles of Raphania|Grand Emir Charles]] began to hammer out the details of a theatrical invasion which would provide an entertaining spectacle for the micronational community while allowing the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] to undertake military exercises with their newly-recruited personnel.

==Declarations of War==
On 26 October 2022, Grand Emir Charles issued a Royal Declaration of War against Westarctica. Among the reasons for this declaration was the annexation of Calsahara as a colony, which Charles believed was an illegal act.

After receiving the declaration, [[Grand Duke Travis]] immediately informed the [[Minister of Defense]] and directed the mobilization of the Westarctican Royal Guards in preparation for a full scale invasion of Raphanian territories. The same day, "[[Royal Decrees|Royal Decree]] RD-2022-004 War With Raphania" was issued by the Grand Duke and forwarded to Prime Minister Farmer for approval.

Due to the close proximity of Raphania to the leader of Westarctica's other colony, the [[Principality of Kolios]], for the first time in its history, the Kolios National Guard was activated and plans were made for Kolios' troops to invade the southern territories of Raphania.

==Invasion of Raphania==
[[File:Mock Tortoise1.jpg|350px|thumb|Operation: MOCK TORTOISE]]
:''Elements of this operation remain classified.''
On 10 November 2022, a small contingent of Royal Guards from Westarctica successfully occupied Raphanian territory in [[Operation: MOCK TORTOISE]]. A video was created of the invasion and released to the micronational community. It had the effect of crushing Raphanian morale, causing Grand Emir Charles to release a video statement admitting that defeat was likely imminent and he fully expected to lose the conflict.

==Peace negotiations==
During the following week, Grand Duke Travis and Grand Emir Charles began back channel negotiations for the full surrender of Raphania, planning its future as a colony of Westarctica. Such details as Charles' new title and the legal system of the colony were discussed and agreed upon.

On 19 November 2022, Grand Duke Travis and Grand Emir Charles met in Tucson, Arizona to sign the Treaty of Unification Between Westarctica and Raphania. At the conclusion of this treaty signing, there was a short ceremony whereby both leaders exchanged awards with one another and the was was officially over.

==Aftermath==
[[Raphania]] became a colony of [[Westarctica]]. Grand Emir Charles was given the title Prince Charles of Raphania and became the Royal [[Viceroy]] responsible for governing the territory. He was also made a Knight in the [[Noble Order of the Sword]] for his valiant participation in the war. Westarctica's military commanders, [[Viscount Atwood]] and [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prince Von Kolios]] were also given knighthoods in the order.

Operation: MOCK TORTOISE

2026-03-11T04:39:54Z

Westarctica:

:''Elements of this operation remain classified.'' 
[[File:Mock Tortoise1.jpg|400px|thumb|The Westarctican Royal Guards occupying Raphania]]
'''Operation: MOCK TORTOISE''' was a military operation conducted by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] during the [[Westarctica-Raphania War]]. It occurred on 10 November 2022.

==Prelude==
After the leader of [[Raphania]], [[Prince Charles of Raphania|Grand Emir Charles I]], declared war upon [[Westarctica]], citing his belief that their occupation of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]] in 2017 was an illegitimate act, [[Grand Duke Travis]] mobilized the Royal Guards and made immediate preparations for a state of war. A [[Royal Decrees|Royal Decree]] was issued on 26 October 2022 formally declaring war against Raphania.

The Grand Duke held private planning sessions with the [[Minister of Defense]], the [[Duke of Waesche]], and [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prime Minister Farmer]] to decide the best course of action to bring about a speedy end to the conflict. The decision was made to first cripple Raphanian morale by invading their sovereign territory, located in northern Arizona, then proceed south over the following days to conduct an assault on the Raphanian government in their administrative headquarters.

==The operation==
A small contingent from the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] arrived in Raphania at 1:00 pm local time and encountered no resistance. The Raphanian military was evidently not prepared for the enemy's arrival and the territory was swiftly conquered.

[[Viscount Atwood]], the newly-appointed Captain of the Guards, was given the honor of planting the [[Flag of Westarctica]] on Raphanian soil to prove to the world that it was now a possession of Westarctica.

After reading a brief victory speech, Grand Duke Travis stopped short of declaring victory, pledging to continue the push further south until Grand Emir Charles and the Government of Raphania have been subdued.

'''Raphania''', formerly known as the '''Grand Emirate of Raphania''', was a [[micronation]] made up of a 1.16 square acre property in north-eastern Arizona and another 0.32 square acre property in southern Arizona. It became a colony of [[Westarctica]] in November 2022.

==Pre-Colonial history==
===Creation===
Raphania's creation was heavily inspired by the experiences of its creator who has been a micronationalist since 2007. As such, the creator's former micronation Phokland as well as the micronation of [[Dracul]], in which he had heavy involvement, played large parts in inspiring the nature and makeup of Raphistan as well as its institutions. Additionally, great inspiration was taken from the [[Republic of Molossia]] and the [[Colony of Calsahara|Kingdom of Calsahara]], both of which are desert-based micronations operating under a similar mindset to Raphania, that being to portray themselves as a unique project of creativity all the while embracing the eccentric nature of their very existence. To a lesser extend, the Emirate also takes inspiration from the micronation of [[Vikesland]].

The country attributed its name to the Catholic Archangel and Saint Raphael. This was chosen as the angel is Charles' Patron Saint and thus his saint's name in accordance with Catholic tradition.

Following a civil conflict with the previous regime, Raphania's government assumed operation of the nation on 12 April 2022, after the toppling of the regime of the Desert Realm of Raphistan under the leadership of Shah Alexander.

===Government===
[[File:Prince Charles Official.jpg|300px|thumb|His Highness, Prince Charles of Raphania]]
The pre-colonial government of Raphistan operated under an neo-absolute monarchy with the [[Prince Charles of Raphania|Grand Emir]] serving as the head of affairs and Prime Minister (the evolved form of the previous office of the Marshal) operating as a secondary creative adviser and deputy leader within the state.

The nation possessed an advisory legislative body known as the "Tamenparli" from which the appointed members proposed and voted on laws and amendments to be presented to the Grand Emir. From this body, additional Ministers (known within Raphania as "Councilors") were appointed by the Prime Minister and monarch.

===Military===
Before its defeat, the Raphanian Royal Corps of Discovery (abbreviated to RRCD) served as Raphania's military/policing body. While the Grand Emir served as Commander-in-Chief by default, the Supreme Commander of the RRCD was Raphistan's former Marshal Tony the Great who also served as Prime Minister.

==Colonial government==
[[File:Raphania MicroCon 2022.jpg|350px|thumb|Grand Duke Travis and Prince Charles at MicroCon 2022]]
The Colony of Raphania is controlled by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]], who rules as the colony's sultan. However, the day to day operations are of Raphania are managed by a Royal [[Viceroy]] bearing the title of "prince." The current viceroy is [[Prince Charles of Raphania]].

Raphania's legal codes are limited to the [[Constitution of Westarctica]] and the Treaty of Unification Between Westarctica and Raphania, although the Royal Viceroy is authorized to pass additional ordinances as needed to maintain order in the colony.

==War with Westarctica==
:''Main article: [[Westarctica-Raphania War]]''
On 26 October 2022, Grand Emir Charles I declared war on [[Westarctica]], citing what he believed was the country's illegal annexation of the [[Colony of Calsahara]].

[[Grand Duke Travis]] immediately informed the [[Minister of Defense]] and directed the mobilization of the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] in preparation for a full scale invasion of Raphanian territories. The same day, "[[Royal Decrees|Royal Decree]] RD-2022-004 War With Raphania" was issued by the Grand Duke and forwarded to [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prime Minister Farmer]] for approval.

On 10 November 2022, Westarctica successfully occupied Raphanian territory in [[Operation: MOCK TORTOISE]]. After peace negotiations were concluded on 19 November 2022, Raphania became a colony of Westarctica.

==Territory==
[[File:Raph painting.jpg|350px|thumb|Petroglyphs on a rock in Al-Aarondad]]
Raphania is divided into six separate areas of administration; two official territories of land (known as Prefectures) with one being home to the colony's capital, one consulate (which serves as the de facto administrative center), two ceremonial provinces and one protectorate.

The sub-divisions which make up the prefectures consist of the regional city of Al-Aarondad, which exists as its own district of jurisdiction, and the remainder of the area, which is known as "The Frontier". Within the Homeland Prefecture, the area is subdivided between the Raphanian capital of Goree and the rest of the land, known as the "The Heartland". The capital's name is taken from the maiden name of the royal consort of Raphania, Emira Sarahann Marie Goree.

Raphania's Royal Consulate General in Arizona (also known as the Royal Compound or Royal Household) is a residence which serves as the home for the royal couple of Raphania, from where, most diplomatic receptions, state celebrations, and day-to-day government activities are conducted.

==Noble titles==
There are only two noble titles in the peerage of Raphania:
* Sultan of Raphania
* Prince of Raphania

==Foreign Relations==
Prior to invasion by Westarctica, Raphania became a party to the [[Conference of Santiago]]. Their status as a member of the conference was demoted to "observer state," thus allowing them to continue participating in conference affairs. In January 2024, this issue was rendered largely moot when Westarctica joined the conference as a full member.

Although Westarctica handles most foreign affairs of Raphania, their Treaty of Unification permits the Raphanian Royal [[Viceroy]] to manage the colony's trade relationship as well as representation in inter-micronational governmental organizations.

Order of the Polar Cross

2026-03-11T04:38:42Z

Westarctica: name change

[[File:Polar Cross.jpg|350px|thumb|Badge for the Order of the Polar Cross]]
The '''Order of the Polar Cross''' is a knighthood in the [[Orders of Westarctica]]. It was created on 18 July 2022 to recognize [[micronation|micronationalists]] who share friendly terms with [[Westarctica]]. There is one class, that of Knight/Dame. The order is limited to 200 members.

Holders are entitled to the post-nominal "PC."

==Criteria for award==
The Order of the Polar Cross was created to celebrate friendship and diplomacy among micronations. There is no set criteria for the honor to be awarded, and all awards are made at the discretion of the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Sovereign]].

==Regalia==
The regalia for the knighthood is a 2-inch square badge in the form of a silver cross stylized with arrows pointing outward and a snowflake in the center. This symbolizes the [[South Pole]] and the lines of longitude that radiate across the world, touching all countries and people, like Westarctica's goodwill toward other nations.

The badge is worn on the center of the left chest under other medals and breast stars. Dames may place the badge near the left shoulder above other awards.

==Members==
The award was first bestowed upon many of the attendees of [[MicroCon 2022]] on 6 August 2022.

His Lordship, the '''Baron of Dorrel''', '''Dr. Joachim Adlfinger''' is a diplomat in the [[Honorary Consular Corps]] of [[Westarctica]]. He also served as the [[Foreign Minister]] from 2021 - 2022.

==Background==
From 1990 - 2005, he designed and manufactured Ferrari car kits for the Pontiac Fiero and holds numerous patents related to cycle designs. in 2015, the Baron acquired the rights to the Messerschmitt trade name and now manufactures speciality sport cycles under the Messerschmitt brand.

==Diplomatic career==
The Baron became a citizen of Westarctica in 2018 and shortly after was appointed as Honorary Consul of Westarctica to Spain as a diplomat in the [[Honorary Consular Corps]]. In this role, he worked closely with the [[Foreign Minister]], the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]]. Despite living in southern Spain, the Baron is actually German and speaks English, Spanish, and German fluently. This made him an ideal choice for the consular role.

In November 2018, he attended the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]] in Berlin, Germany along with other members of the Diplomatic Corps. During this meeting, he received the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Baron of Dorrel as well as a knighthood in the [[Order of the Snowflake]]. His title was named for [[Dorrel Rock]].

The Baron's work as a consul was exemplary and he opened the first physical consulate building on Westarctica's behalf in Nerja, Spain. This event was covered extensively by the local [[Westarctica in the Media|Spanish and English press]]. As a result of his efforts, the Baron was raised to the rank of Consul-General in 2019. He was unofficially appointed to the temporary role of Deputy Foreign Minister in 2020 by [[Grand Duke Travis]], although he never exercised the authority of that role.

==Foreign Minister==
On 11 February 2021, the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]] resigned from the position of [[Foreign Minister]] and the Baron of Dorrel was immediately appointed Acting Foreign Minister. This appointment was quickly confirmed by the [[Prime Minister of Westarctica|Prime Minister]] and was made permanent the following day.

He resigned from the post on 7 November 2022 and returned to his primary service as Consul-General to Spain.

Foreign Minister

2026-03-11T04:37:49Z

Westarctica: name change

[[File:GrandDuke CharlesRoss.jpg|350px|thumb|Grand Duke Travis and previous Foreign Minister, Prince Charles of Raphania in Tucson, Arizona in 2022]]
The '''Foreign Minister''' is a position in the [[Royal Council]] of the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] tasked with handling the [[Foreign relations of Westarctica]].

Westarctica's current Foreign Minister is [[Christopher Watson]].

==History of the role==
During the early days of [[Westarctica]], from 2001 - 2006, [[Grand Duke Travis]] eschewed the idea of anyone aside from himself handling the foreign affairs of Westarctica. Interacting with foreign leaders and representing Westarctica on the international stage was considered a core duty of the Grand Duke, as well as being one of his favorite parts of the job.

In 2006, after Travis abdicated the throne, his successor, [[Grand Duke Philip]] appointed [[Lady Thurston]] (who had previously held the post [[Minister of Theocratic Affairs]]) to the post of Minister of Affairs, which combined the duties of Foreign Affairs and the Interior. From this time forward, Lady Thurston handled relations with other nations and pursued an aggressive outreach to protect Westarctica's interests.

In 2008, when [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]] assumed the throne of Westarctica, few of the existing ministers of the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet]] remained in service to the crown and the Grand Duke himself once again handled foreign affairs. However, as the [[Siple War]] broke out, [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], the [[Minister of Defense]] attempted to fulfill the mission of the foreign ministry by negotiating with the various [[micronations]] allied against Westarctica.

==Creation of the office==
[[File:Grand Duke Lobby.jpg|350px|thumb|The Grand Duke with former Foreign Minister, the [[Baron of Dorrel]], in Berlin in 2018]]
In 2018, after a significant increase in citizens and [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|nobles]] from German-speaking nations, [[Grand Duke Travis]] recognized the need for [[Westarctica]] to have an increased presence in international locations. As part of the effort to manage what was hoped to be a large network of international representatives and diplomats, the Grand Duke created the Foreign Ministry and appointed the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]] as the first Foreign Minister. He held this position until his resignation in February 2021.

==Duties==
The Foreign Minister's primary function is managing the [[Honorary Consular Corps]]. The Honorary Consuls are responsible for representing Westarctica's interests in their home countries as well as interacting with citizens of the nation on behalf of the Grand Duke. As part of his duties, the Foreign Minister engages in routine travel to meet with other diplomats and represent Westarctica abroad.

The Foreign Minister is also responsible for organizing the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]].

Order of the Snowflake

2026-03-11T04:37:13Z

Westarctica: name change

[[File:Snowflake-Regalia-sm.jpg|500px|thumb|Regalia for the four grades of knighthoods in the Order of the Snowflake]]
The '''Order of the Snowflake''' is the second highest [[Orders of Westarctica|Order of Westarctica]]. The intention of the order is to honor those who have provided a service to [[Westarctica]]. It was created in January 2015.

There are four classes of the order:

* Knight/Dame Grand Cross
* Knight/Dame Grand Commander
* Knight/Dame Commander
* Knight/Dame

Only the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] himself has the power to bestow new knighthoods and thus far, he has awarded the medal to foreign dignitaries, artists, prominent nobles, and other supporters of Westarctica. All knights and dames receive the regalia of the class being bestowed; the Order of the Snowflake is always awarded for life. Membership entitles the bearer to attach the post-nomial "KtS" ("Knight of the Snowflake") or "DtS" ("Dame of the Snowflake") following their name in correspondence and other forms of written address (business cards, place settings, calling cards, etc.).

==Distribution of classes==
[[File:Order of the Snowflake Star.jpg|300px|thumb|Breast star for the grade of Knight Grand Commander]]
===Knight Grand Cross===
The highest grade, that of Knight Grand Cross, is primarily reserved for Heads of State, members of the [[Royal Family of Westarctica|Royal Family]], and members of the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis|Royal Household]]. It remains the most rarely awarded class.

The regalia for this class consists of a silver breast star with over 100 Austrian rhinestone crystals. In the center of the star is a snowflake symbol encased in glass. From 2015 - 2025, these stars were hand-crafted by Grand Duke Travis, but in August 2025, he commissioned the company that makes the silver stars to create a custom version based on his design. After this, the criteria for receiving the grade was expanded and it became limited to 30 members (including the sovereign).

===Knight Grand Commander===
On 12 August 2020, [[Grand Duke Travis]] created the class of Knight Grand Commander as a way to further recognize distinguished service from existing knights and dames. This grade is intended for existing Knight or Dame Commanders who have held the honor for at least two years, although exceptions are sometimes made for foreign government officials or significant achievements from [[Westarctica]]n citizens. The regalia is a silver breast star modeled after the star of the Order of the British Empire. In the center of the star is a blue enamel badge with the words "ORDER OF THE SNOWFLAKE" in white lettering surrounding a white enamel snowflake design.

===Knight Commander===
The grade of Knight Commander is the most frequently awarded class and has been given to many allies of Westarctica as well as many citizens and nobles in recognition of their significant contributions to the nation. The regalia for this class is a blue and white striped ribbon drape with a snowflake pendant. The pendant is silver with white enamel and a single rhinestone crystal in the center. Originally, these pendants were sourced from a retail supplier; however, in 2020, [[Grand Duke Travis]] arranged to have custom pendants manufactured after the original pieces were discontinued.

===Knight===
The class of Knight is often awarded to foreign diplomats where the class of Knight Commander might not be appropriate when that grade was already held by the recipient's Head of State or Head of Government. The original regalia for this class was a small pewter snowflake, which was updated in October 2020 along with the regalia for the other classes. The current regalia consists of a blue drape ribbon with a solid white stripe and a brushed silver snowflake pendant with a single crystal in the center. The pendant is identical to the pendant used for for the grade of Knight Commander, but without the white enamel.

Noble Order of the Sword

2026-03-11T04:36:47Z

Westarctica: /* List of Knights and Dames */ name change

[[File:ORDER OF SWORD.jpg|thumb|Regalia of the Noble Order of the Sword]]
The '''Noble Order of the Sword''' is one of the four original [[Westarctica|Westarctican]] [[Orders of Westarctica|Orders of Chivalry]]. It was created to recognize exceptional military achievement. As Westarctica is largely a peaceful nation, it remains an honor that is rarely awarded. Members of the order are entitled to use the postnominal "KNS" after their name.

==Creation of the order==
The order was created by decree on 2 April 2005 in the ''Royal Decree Revising the Orders of Westarctica''. The text of the decree read as follows:

<blockquote>
This Order is designed to recognize exceptional military achievement. There are two classes, Knight Commander, and Knight. The regalia for this Order are a gold chest star with crossed swords for the rank of Knight Commander, and a medal with three swords hanging from a red ribbon for the rank of Knight.
</blockquote>

==Regalia of the order==
The breast star of the order was created by master jewelry designer Carl W. Lemke on behalf of a disreputable con-artist known as Gary Martin Beaver (among other aliases too numerous to list) who subsequently failed to pay for the design and creation of the pieces. Grand Duke Travis thought it might be helpful to legitimize the regalia by turning it into a Westarctican Order of Chivalry, and ordering several breast stars, thereby covering the financial loss suffered by Mr. Lemke. However, due to the expense of the stars themselves, only one was ever purchased.

The drape medal for the order is a re-purposed fencing medal. The Grand Duke has frequently described it as "the ugliest piece of Westarctica's regalia."

==Sword of the order==
[[File:Orders Sword.jpg|thumb|Replica Sword of Austerlitz]]
The ceremonial sword of the order is a replica of the sword carried by Napoleon during the battle of Austerlitz. It was given to [[Grand Duke Travis]] as a present from [[Marquise of Walgreen|Grand Duchess Cathryn]] in 2005. The sword was of very poor quality and in early 2017, the hilt separated from the blade and the sword was deemed a total loss. As the Order of the Sword was almost never bestowed, there was little interest in having it replaced.

Its ceremonial function and usage in investitures has largely been replaced by the [[Crown_Jewels_of_Westarctica#The_Plantagenet_Dagger|Plantagenet Dagger]].

==Current Status==
After 13 years of being an underutilized honor, the Order's function was deemed non-essential due to Westarctica's commitment to peace and ability to cover the rare need to recognize military achievement with the [[Order of the Snowflake]]. However, after participating in [[Exercise: Westarctic Chill]] with the [[Slabovia]]n military, [[Grand Duke Travis]] decided to revive the Order and return it to active use.

His Viceroyal Highness, Prince Charles, KtS, KNS, PC, is the former [[Foreign Minister]] of [[Westarctica]]. He has been involved with many [[micronation]]s since 2007.

He is the current [[Viceroy]] of [[Raphania]].

==Biography==
Charles began his micronational career in 2007 when he created/ran the Kingdom of Rosston in the playground of his primary school until its dissolution in 2013. During his time running Rosston, Charles was for the most part unaware of what micronationalism was and simply saw himself leading a "new country." This juvenile belief later faded away and while searching for a more accurate description of the hobby he was participating in, he found the YouTube page of the now-defunct Kingdom of Bahoudii, more specifically, a micronational newscast from them, dated 15 January 2011. From this he discovered the term "micronation" and through this keyword, eventually found MicroWiki; a site he would lurk on until eventually creating an account in 2018.

Years after Rosston became inactive, Charles' interest in micronationalism was reignited after watching actor-comedian Doug Walker's 2010 film ''Kickassia'' where the micronational [[Republic of Molossia]] and its leader [[President Kevin Baugh]] were featured prominently.

==Career with Phokland==
Following the restoration of Rosston (later renamed Phokland) in 2017, Charles was selected as Prime Minister of the new country. From there he became the monarch of the Principality of Phokland, a position that later evolved into Viceroy for the Viceroyalty of Phokland then to Tsar of the Tsardom of Phokland and finally State President of the Phoklandian Free State.

His involvement in Phokland ended in April 2020 with the dissolution of Phokland as a micronation.

==Career with Austenasia==
While a part of Phokland, Charles began associating with other micronations, notably the [[Empire of Austenasia]], where he became the nation's Official Historian, Council to Arizona and, Commissioner of the Austenasian Crown Dependency of Bregusland. Over time, however, he began drifting away from Austenasia and began to focus more on his primary project, that being Phokland and later, [[Dracul]].

His involvement in the empire came to an end in December 2020, when after a legal battle in Dracul, he was forced to resign from all government offices within Austenasia. His last position (Commissioner of Bregusland) came to an end on 1 January 2021 when Bregusland dissolved. Despite his departure, Charles still retained all noble titles and awards bestowed upon him during his tenure in Austenasia, and additionally, still maintained his Austenasian citizenship.

He eventually returned to Austenasian involvement in June 2021, this time in the private sector as he was appointed Director-General of the privately owned, government subsidized Austenasian Television Productions.

==Career with Dracul==
[[File:Charles Ross Dracul.jpg|350px|thumb|Charles receiving the Order of the Silver Dragon from Dracul Vice President Stephen Luke]]
Charles continued with Phokland until early 2020 when a split in the government caused the nation to dissolve, leaving Charles stateless. Shortly after Phokland's dissolution, he was approached by Vice President of the Commonwealth of [[Dracul]], Stephen Luke with the proposition of him becoming the new Lieutenant Governor of North Dracul (a position he held until December 2020 when he resigned after a spat with North Dracul's Governor Eric Williams). He accepted the offer and shortly thereafter assumed office on 22 April 2020. In his time as Lieutenant Governor, he helped to streamline the state's executive office and created North Dracul's first official website.

After taking office, Charles began dedicating the majority of his time to Dracul, subsequently taking the additional responsibilities of becoming the Commonwealth's de facto chief marketing adviser, the Dracul Army's head recruiter (and later Commanding Officer), Deputy Secretary of State, Draculian Ambassador to the [[Grand Republic of Cycoldia]] and the United States, as well as Secretary of the Interior. Through his numerous positions and heavy involvement in government affairs, Lord Charles cemented himself as a prominent Draculian politician and later adviser, with the latter being most visible through his relationship with the Vice President's Office.

After leaving the office of North Dracul's Lieutenant Governor, Charles dedicated the bulk of his attention to his role as Secretary of the Interior and during his time in office, worked to streamline the department and create cadet agencies, such as the Land Administration Agency. He later left this and all other Dracul positions in May 2021 choosing to take a break from micronationalism. This lasted roughly a month and in late June 2021, he returned, this time in the much more minor roles of assisting with the forming of a newly reorganized Bran District government, becoming Deputy Director of the privately owned Dracul Historical Society and by helping to oversee new Dracul territorial projects as a de-facto Colonial Administrator, in which capacity he became Administrator of Las Verdes Colinas Territory.

In September on 2021, Charles lost his Dracul citizenship following accusations of treason and the subsequent declaration of war between Dracul and Graustark. These claims of treason were later proven to be false, but regardless Charles decided to ultimately leave the Commonwealth.

In February 2022, Charles temporarily returned to Dracul to fill a vacant government position within the Draculian Department of Naturalization due to the previous officeholder quitting unexpectedly. This would end following the appointment of new individuals to these posts, ending Charles' time in the Dracul government.

==Leader of Graustark-Dawsbergen==
In mid 2019, Charles created the micronation of Graustark based on the book of the same name. The country took great influence from the [[Kingdom of Ruritania]] and following its creation Charles was declared monarch. However, at the end of 2019, Graustark entered a long period of stagnation which persisted until 2021 when the nation was briefly revived. This jump of activity would be short lived as by that summer, with the establishment of Raphistan, Graustark-Dawsbergen would once again return to inactivity.

Wanting to give the nation a fresh start, in May 2022, Charles abdicated the throne of Graustark-Dawasbergen, giving it to his friend and longtime micronationalist Cas, who would go on to reign as Queen Martha I.

==Leader of Raphistan/Raphania==

Shortly after leaving Dracul, Charles purchased an acre of land in northeastern Arizona. This land was initially acquired for use in Graustark-Dawsbergen, but after inactivity restarted within the project, the property succeeded from the kingdom and reorganized itself as the [[Raphania|Desert Realm of Raphistan]] with Charles assuming the title of Shah and the reigning name of "Alexander I." The name change was done mostly to disassociate the state with his past projects and to give von Graustark a "fresh start."

In April 2022, Charles would drop the "Alexander" persona and would change his title from the ''Shah of Raphistan'' to ''Grand Emir of Raphania''.

As Grand Emir, one of his biggest foreign affairs actions was to join the [[Conference of Santiago]].

===Westarctica-Raphania War===
::''Main article: [[Westarctica-Raphania War]]''
During [[MicroCon 2022]], the leaders of Raphania and Westarctica discussed the possibility of Raphania becoming a colony of [[Westarctica]] in the same manner as [[Calsahara]] had in 2017. [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Prime Minister Farmer]] and Grand Emir Charles began to hammer out the details of a theatrical invasion which would provide an entertaining spectacle for the micronational community while allowing the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] to undertake military exercises with their newly-recruited personnel.

The [[Westarctica-Raphania War]] raged from 26 October 2022 - 19 November 2022 and resulted in Raphania's defeat and its absorption into Westarctica as a colonial possession.

==Career with Westarctica==

The Westarctica-Raphania Treaty made Charles a citizen of Westarctica and the Royal Viceroy of [[Raphania]] bearing the title "His Highness, Prince Charles of Raphania." As part of the negotiations, [[Grand Duke Travis]] gained the style "His Sultanic Highness, the Sultan of Raphania."

On 11 December 2022, Charles was appointed [[Foreign Minister]] of Westarctica. He served in this post until 3 October 2024, at which time he resigned.

==Community notoriety==
Throughout his micronational carrier, Charles has developed some notoriety within the community, mostly stemming from his work towards improving [[MicroWiki]] as a Wiki Administrator and his (unsuccessful) campaign of attempting to revitalize the wiki forums as a primary means of communication for several micronationalists.

Additionally, he has gained attention for his media productions, such as the Bregusland Report, an [[Empire of Austenasia|Austenasian]] news program which he hosted and which was referenced in a ''Lonely Planet'' article on the 2020 COVID-19 Virus, and ''MicroRamble'', a podcast which he co-hosted along with other micronationalists.

He has also been the target of attacks due to his outspoken criticism of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] and for his botched administration within the Organization of Active Micronations, the latter causing the eventual disbandment of said organisation, as well as his frequent criticism of modern micronational "degeneration." Despite these critiques Charles has been able to stay on rather good terms with a majority of the community, particularly within the MicroWiki and Discord sectors, receiving an honorable mention in the [[MicroWiki]]'s 25 Most Influential (2020) by Statistic-Dime.

In August of 2022, Charles was invited to speak at [[MicroCon 2022]] where he gave a presentation on how many micronations are inspired by historical entities/nationstates within the "real world."
