Young Island is the northernmost and westernmost of the three main islands in the uninhabited Balleny Islands group located in the Southern Ocean. It lies 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) northwest of Buckle Island, some 115 kilometers (71 mi) north-northeast of Belousov Point on the Antarctic mainland.

Young Island was annexed by Westarctica on 14 January 2005 when it annexed the entire Balleny Islands group. The island has been featured on two of Westarctica's coins: the first was a bronze $1 WAD coin minted in 2005 by the Central Bank of Westarctica and shows Young Island on a map of the Balleny Islands. The second coin was a brass $2 WAD coin minted in 2013 and was the last coin created by the Central Bank. That coin has an image of an Antarctic krill instead of the island itself.

-The '''[[Marana Accords]]''' are an agreement between [[Westarctica]] and the [[Principality of Kolios]] that resulted in Kolios becoming a protectorate of Westarctica.
+'''[[Young Island]]''' is the northernmost and westernmost of the three main islands in the uninhabited [[Balleny Islands]] group located in the [[Southern Ocean]]. It lies 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) northwest of [[Buckle Island]], some 115 kilometers (71 mi) north-northeast of Belousov Point on the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] mainland.
-After Prince Garibald's ascension, he and [[Grand Duke Travis]] met in a small underground cellar in the city of Marana, Arizona to sign the accords that would formally make Kolios a territorial holding of Westarctica. Also present at the signing were [[Duke of Fox Grove]] and Countess Erin of Cloud Ridge.
+Young Island was annexed by [[Westarctica]] on 14 January 2005 when it annexed the entire [[Balleny Islands]] group. The island has been featured on two of Westarctica's [[Coins of Westarctica|coins]]: the first was a bronze $1 WAD coin minted in 2005 by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] and shows Young Island on a map of the Balleny Islands. The second coin was a brass $2 WAD coin minted in 2013 and was the last coin created by the Central Bank. That coin has an image of an [[Antarctic krill]] instead of the island itself.
-Prior to the accords, Prince Garibald issued sixteen “Princely Edicts,” initiatives intended to set up and smooth the transition from kingdom to protectorate. The edicts range from the withdrawal of Kolios from the [[Empire of Agber]] to restructuring Koliosian nobility to officially secularizing the government. He also made a number of appointments, elevating Koliosian nobles to higher ranks. In an effort to bridge the two nations, he also created a number of new nobles, drawing them from both Koliosian and Westarctican citizenship rosters. The successful accords resulted in the Provincial Charter of the Westarctican Protectorate of Kolios becoming the new law of Kolios.
