The '''[[Westarctica Civilian Corps]]''' is an organization comprised of citizens of [[Westarctica]] who are admitted to the Corps regardless of [[Peerage of Westarctica|noble status]], knighthoods, or other rank. The only consideration is dedication to the nation and a sincere desire to better Westarctica and themselves.
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).


The Corps was the brainchild of [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Duke Jordan of the Bear Peninsula]]. In his capacity as [[Minister of Citizenship & Immigration]], the Duke was contemplating ways to better engage new citizens while giving them opportunities to take actions that would benefit Westarctica and further advance the national mission of preserving and conserving the environment.


As Westarctica already had a long tradition of recognizing supporters with [[Peerage of Westarctica|noble titles]] and [[Orders of Westarctica|knighthoods]], Duke Jordan desired an organization where each individual could gain recognition based on concrete actions, without ranks or classes.
