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 '''[[Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station]]''' is a United States scientific research station at the [[South Pole]], the southernmost place on the Earth. The station is located on the high plateau of [[Antarctica]] at an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,301 feet) above sea level and is administered by the Division of Polar Programs within the National Science Foundation under the United States Antarctic Program (USAP).


[[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.
