The Whitmore Mountains are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the Marie Byrd Land region of Westarctica. They consist of three small mountains and a cluster of nunataks arranged in a semicircular pattern extending over 15 miles. When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of Antarctica, Grand Duke Travis was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, Neil Whitmoyer. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.

-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 '''[[Whitmore Mountains]]'''  are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the [[Marie Byrd Land]] region of [[Westarctica]]. They consist of three small mountains and a cluster of [[nunatak]]s arranged in a semicircular pattern extending over 15 miles. When researching the National Geographic Atlas map of [[Antarctica]], [[Grand Duke Travis]] was inspired by the fact that the Whitmore Mountains were located in the unclaimed section of Marie Byrd Land and they shared the name of his childhood best friend, [[Viscount of Whitmore|Neil Whitmoyer]]. Were it not for this immediate confirmation, it is entirely possible the Grand Duke might not have decided to move forward with his plan to claim Westarctica.
-[[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.
