The '''[[2017 - State visit in Scone|2017 State Visit in Scone]]''' was a diplomatic event that occurred between the sovereign of the [[Kingdom of Scone]] and a delegation from [[Westarctica]] in the Niagara Falls region of upstate New York. It was considered an important event in the [[foreign relations of Westarctica]].
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.

The Westarctica delegation included Grand Duke Travis, the [[Countess of Benton]], and [[Prince-Consort Dinny]]. They met with [[James, King of the Sconnish|King James]] at Old Fort Niagara in Upstate New York, where the King led the visitors on a personal tour of the old battlements.


Inside the fort, significant time was dedicated to the French Castle, an impressive colonial structure which bears many symbols of the French and British governments that at one time ruled over the fort. These symbols were reverentially reviewed and discussed by the monarchs before a ceremony in the dining room of the castle where Grand Duke Travis presented King James with the regalia of a Knight Commander in the [[Order of the Snowflake]] and a copy of ''[[The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Westarctica]]''.

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.
