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 '''[[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.


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.

Whitmore Mountains - Mt Chapman.jpg

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.
