The alliance between Westarctica and Molossia is Westarctica's oldest, and ranks among its most important and influential 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 2017 annexation and rebirth as a colony of Westarctica.

While Westarctica currently has no formal alliance with Molossia, informally they are among, if not the, closest allies the nation has. The two nations have established mutual recognition, military cooperation, as well as trade relations.
