===Overlapping Claim With Flandrensis=== | ===Overlapping Claim With Flandrensis=== | ||
In 2008, during a perceived period of inactivity from the Westarctcan government, the [[Grand Duchy of Flandrensis]] was established, laying claim to five islands off the coasts of West Antarctica: [[Siple Island]], [[Cherry Island]], [[Maher Island]], [[Pranke Island]], and [[Carney Island]], and based its claim on an interpretation of the 1959 [[Antarctic Treaty]]. These five Islands are still claimed as part of the Westarctican mainland, but are administered as a special district within the nation, out of respect for the now allied Flandrensis. | |||
