There is a long, proud tradition of '''[[United States Navy]]''' involvement in the exploration and governance of both [[Westarctica]] and the entire continent of [[Antarctica]]. Pictured here is the USS ''Kearsarge'', a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship that was home to many of Westarctica's nobles from 2001 - 2004.
The title '''[[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]''' was created by Travis McHenry in June 2004 as part of the transition of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] from a [[Micronations|new country project]] to a [[sovereignty|sovereign]] nation. The legal basis for the creation of the title is found in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]], as well as the [[Achaean Royal Charter]].


[[Grand Duke Travis]] was onboard the USS ''Kearsarge'' (LHD-3) when he discovered the existence of [[Marie Byrd Land]]. Much of the [[Achaean Civil Code]] and [[Achaean Royal Charter]] were written onboard the same ship. During his late nights while standing 24-hour duty onboard the ''Kearsarge'', Travis discovered and researched other [[micronation]]s through the [[MicroFreedom]] Index.
