The '''[[West-Antarctic Treaty]]''' is a major treaty signed by seven rival [[micronations]] who were all claimants to overlapping territories in the [[Marie Byrd Land]] region of [[Antarctica]].
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]].


In June 2010, after a participating in a [[Siple War|prolonged conflict]] with a group of rival micronations led by the [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]], the ruler of [[Westarctica]], [[Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence]], was [[The Great Return|removed from power in a coup]] and replaced by [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] and [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], the newly-proclaimed [[Prime Minister of Westarctica]].


On 24 September 2010, representatives from all parties signed the treaty. [[Duke of Waesche|Prime Minister Tulier]] signed on behalf of [[Westarctica]], however after all signatures were received, [[Grand Duke Travis]] also added his name to the treaty in a show of solidarity with the terms. The signing of the treaty was announced in the [[Supreme Diet]] as part of the 2010 Rainbow Tour of diplomacy.

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.
