The '''[[Westarctica Civilian Corps]]''' is an organization comprised of citizens of [[Westarctica]] who are admitted to the Corps regardless of [[Peerage of Westarctica|noble status]], knighthoods, or other rank. The only consideration is dedication to the nation and a sincere desire to better Westarctica and themselves.
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 Corps was the brainchild of [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Duke Jordan of the Bear Peninsula]]. In his capacity as [[Minister of Citizenship & Immigration]], the Duke was contemplating ways to better engage new citizens while giving them opportunities to take actions that would benefit Westarctica and further advance the national mission of preserving and conserving the environment.


As Westarctica already had a long tradition of recognizing supporters with [[Peerage of Westarctica|noble titles]] and [[Orders of Westarctica|knighthoods]], Duke Jordan desired an organization where each individual could gain recognition based on concrete actions, without ranks or classes.

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.
