-A '''[[lichen]]''' is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi in a symbiotic relationship. The combined lichen has properties different from those of its component organisms. Lichens come in many colors, sizes, and forms. The properties are sometimes plant-like, but lichens are not plants.
+The '''[[Flag of Westarctica]]''' has gone through many changes since the nation first declared itself a sovereign territory. Although the original flag of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] was generally considered to be an eyesore, subsequent flags were designed to be more aesthetically pleasing while also encompassing the values of [[Westarctica]].
-Lichens occur from sea level to high alpine elevations, in many environmental conditions, and can grow on almost any surface. Lichens are abundant growing on bark, leaves, [[moss|mosses]], on other lichens, and hanging from branches "living on thin air" (epiphytes) in rain forests and in temperate woodland. Different kinds of lichens have adapted to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth: [[Antarctica]], hot dry deserts, rocky coasts, and toxic slag heaps.
+In late 2014, [[Grand Duke Travis]] decided it was time to bring back some of the old [[National Symbols of Westarctica|symbols of Westarctica]]. In a show of solidarity with the old regime, he created a new flag utilizing the old symbology of the "Cross and Crown" design. To make the flag more aesthetically pleasing, simple tinctures of blue (with the colorspace in CMYK of C=96.47%, M=75.29%, Y=0.39%, K=0%; in RGB R=16, G=84, B=165; webcolor #1054A5) and white were used instead of the original teal and forest green found on the 2004 - 2010 flags. The specific tincture of blue is called "Westarctica Blue" and is considered a protected official color of Westarctica.
