The first flag of [[Westarctica]] was designed by [[Grand Duke Travis]] in June 2004 after he was inspired by a vision of an interlinked cross and crown during a Presbyterian church service. The color teal, aside from being wildly popular during the early 2000s, was selected to represent the icy cold of the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] climate. The color green was chosen because it is the Grand Duke's favorite color. | The first flag of [[Westarctica]] was designed by [[Grand Duke Travis]] in June 2004 after he was inspired by a vision of an interlinked cross and crown during a Presbyterian church service.

The overall design of the flag was based upon the flags of Nordic countries as well as the flag of Lichtenstein, which features a similar crown. | |||
The cross represents Christianity, as Westarctica was founded as a [[Religion in Westarctica|Christian nation]]. The crown represents the authority and person of the Grand Duke. | |||
