The '''[[Jamesway hut]]''' is a portable and easy-to-assemble hut, designed for polar weather conditions. This version of the Quonset hut was created by James Manufacturing Company of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Insulated blankets in 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in)-wide lengths were made with glass fiber insulation faced with flame-proof muslin and enclosed in plastic-treated cotton that was water-, vermin-, and fire-proof. The hardware (nails, fasteners, and connecting bars) was the only metal component. The whole package weighed 540 kg (1,190 lb) for a 5 meter (16 ft)-square hut. Its wooden packing crates were designed for reuse as the hut floor.
The '''[[Alliance Between Westarctica and Molossia|alliance between Westarctica and Molossia]]''' is [[Westarctica|Westarctica's]] oldest, and ranks among its most important and influential [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|diplomatic relations]]. Since 2005, [[President Kevin Baugh]] of [[Molossia]] has been an important ally and advisor to [[Grand Duke Travis]], both in his role as [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] and during his time as the [[King of Calsahara]], prior to its [[Invasion of Calsahara|2017 annexation]] and rebirth as a [[Colony of Calsahara|colony of Westarctica]].


The storage/floor sections, each 1.2 by 2.4 m (3 ft 11 in by 7 ft 10 in) were made from plywood and insulated with R-7 fiberglass insulation, which provided a portable, warm and cleanable floor. The wooden arches holding up the roof were attached to the floor sections with steel fittings and wing nuts, and were strong enough to hold a winter’s snow. The arches, the key to the design, were curved, glue-laminated wooden 15 cm (6 in) beams on 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) centers that folded in quarters on steel hinges and removable pins.
