	"God Save Westarctica" was written by [[Grand Duke Travis]] in 2004 as a quick and easy national anthem for Westarctica. He wanted to create a piece that would be familiar to laymen and also be easy to play on the piano, which he was learning at the time. The music is based on the tune "God Save the Queen," ~~with very slight modifications~~.

"''God Save Westarctica''" is the national hymn of [[Westarctica]] and one of the country's three national songs.

==History==
"God Save Westarctica" was written [[Grand Duke Travis]] in 2004 as a quick and easy national anthem for Westarctica. He wanted to create a piece that would be familiar to laymen and also be easy to play on the piano, which he was learning at the time.

The lyrics begin by praising the Grand Duke and asking God to bless him as he leads the nation. The second verse is devoted to Westarctica and asks for God's blessings over the land and its natural resources. Despite having the opening verse "God save our Grandest Duke," the song is primarily a tribute to Westarctica and to whoever happens to occupy the throne, not to Grand Duke Travis specifically, thus, the title is "God Save Westarctica" and not "God Save the Grand Duke."

In the first verse, the lyrics refer to the Grand Duke as "His Majesty." At the time the song was written, the Grand Duke utilized the style "His Serene Majesty," which was later changed to "His Royal Highness" in 2014. However, the new style didn't fit with the song's rhyming structure, so the original lyric was maintained.

"God Save Westarctica" was Westarctica's national anthem from the time it was composed until March 2018 when it was replaced by "[[Westarctica, Land of the Brave]]."

==Lyrics==
<blockquote>
God save our Grandest Duke 
Give him the power to 
Be just and strong 
 
God save His Majesty 
Clothe him in piety 
Cause everyone to see 
The Grand Duke live long 
 
God save Westarctica 
Flora and fauna 
God save our land 
 
Oh, Lord descend to us 
Bless us with righteousness 
Lay upon all of us 
Your glorious hand 
<blockquote>
