As a sovereign nation-state, [[Westarctica]] engages in '''foreign relations''' with many nations, [[micronation]]s, and other international governmental organizations. Aside from brief periods during the reign of [[Grand Duke Philip]] and [[Duke of Waesche|Prime Minister Waesche]], all foreign affairs have been handled by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]; however, starting in 2018, a [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] was appointed to handle day-to-day interactions with representatives from other countries.
