The '''[[West-Antarctic Treaty]]''' is a major treaty signed by seven rival [[micronations]] who were all claimants to overlapping territories in the [[Marie Byrd Land]] region of [[Antarctica]].
The '''[[Whitmore Mountains]]''' are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the [[Marie Byrd Land]] region of [[Westarctica]]. They consist of three small mountains and a cluster of [[nunatak]]s arranged in a semicircular pattern extending over 15 miles. When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of [[Antarctica]], [[Grand Duke Travis]] was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, [[Viscount of Whitmore|Neil Whitmoyer]]. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.


In June 2010, after a participating in a [[Siple War|prolonged conflict]] with a group of rival micronations led by the [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]], the ruler of [[Westarctica]], [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]], was [[The Great Return|removed from power in a coup]] and replaced by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] and [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], the newly-proclaimed [[Prime Minister of Westarctica]].

Whitmore Mountains - Mt Chapman.jpg

The Whitmore Mountains are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the Marie Byrd Land region of Westarctica. They consist of three small mountains and a cluster of nunataks arranged in a semicircular pattern extending over 15 miles. When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of Antarctica, Grand Duke Travis was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, Neil Whitmoyer. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.
