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]]. 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.

The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.
