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 title '''[[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]''' was created by Travis McHenry in June 2004 as part of the transition of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] from a [[Micronations|new country project]] to a [[sovereignty|sovereign]] nation. The legal basis for the creation of the title is found in the [[Grand Ducal Mandate]], as well as the [[Achaean Royal Charter]].


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.
