The king penguin is a large species of penguin, second only to the emperor penguin in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on krill and other crustaceans than most Southern Ocean predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in Westarctica.

-The '''[[Claimant Letter]]''' is the founding document of [[Westarctica]]. The purpose of the letter was analogous to a Declaration of Independence, although Westarctica was not under the authority of any world government at the time it declared itself to be a [[sovereignty|sovereign]] nation.

-[[Grand Duke Travis]] completed writing the letter on October 30th, but he didn't print and sign it until the following Thursday, on the evening of November 1st. As before signing the first of the nine letters, he uttered the words: "With this pen, the die is cast." He then signed all nine letters and mailed them at the Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania post office the following morning.
-Despite the Claimant Letter being dated 30 October and signed on 1 November, the 2nd of November is a [[Public Holidays in Westarctica|public holiday]] celebrated as Independence Day in [[Westarctica]] due to it being the day Travis gained the courage to undertake the action of actually mailing the letters. The largest celebration to date was the [[Westarctica's 15th Anniversary Celebration|15th Anniversary Celebration]] in 2016.
