-The '''[[Balleny Islands]]''' are a series of uninhabited islands in the [[Southern Ocean]]. The islands are heavily glaciated and of volcanic origin. [[glacier|Glaciers]] project from their slopes into the sea. The islands became a colony when [[Westarctica]] formally annexed it from New Zealand on 14 January 2005. [[Duke of Sherman|Jorge Fernandez Vidal]] was appointed its Governor, and following the first successful minting of the Balleny Islands coin, Vidal was given the title Count of Sturge.

-Two symbols were created by the Governor of the Balleny Islands shortly after they were annexed by Westarctica: the coat of arms and the flag. The coat of arms features heraldic devices from Spain, France, and the region where Mr. Vidal was born, as well as an [[emperor penguin]], the symbol of Westarctica. The flag of the islands is the 2004 - 2008 flag of Westarctica with the colors reversed and the coat of arms of the Balleny Islands in the upper left quadrant in place of the crown of Westarctica.
