As a sovereign nation-state, [[Westarctica]] engages in '''foreign relations''' with many nations, micronations, and other international governmental organizations. Aside from brief periods during the reign of [[Grand Duke Philip]] and [[Duke of Waesche|Prime Minister Waesche]], all foreign affairs have been handled by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]; however, starting in 2018, a [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] was appointed to handle day-to-day interactions with representatives from other countries.


==History and diplomatic activities==
==History==
In May 2005, [[Grand Duke Travis]] signed Westarctica's first treaty with the [[Republic of Molossia]]. This treaty became the go-to template for the treaties of many other [[micronation]]s, and the portions of the text can still be found in micronational treaties to this day. [[Westarctica]] has signed treaties of friendship and recognition with dozens of micronations from around the world.

[[Westarctica]] has signed treaties of friendship and recognition with dozens of other micronations from around the world and also entered into several multi-state pacts such as the [[West-Antarctic Treaty]], the [[West-Antarctic Free Alliance]] and the [[Antarctic Micronational Union]] (which it later left).


===United Nations status===
Since January 2015, Westarctica has enjoyed non-consultative status as a member of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs - NGO Branch. In this capacity, representatives from Westarctica have participated in annual planning sessions with other NGOs to create and implement Sustainable Development Goals on a global scale.

===State visits===
[[Grand Duke Travis]] has undertaken many state visits on behalf of [[Westarctica]] and has traveled widely to promote the country's interests and to help raise awareness of [[micronation]]s in general. Starting in 2015, there was a major shift in the nature of these visits and public speeches: instead of advocating exclusively for recognition of Westarctica's [[sovereignty]], the Grand Duke began advocating on behalf of the fragile West Antarctic ecosystem and made environmental conservation a key talking point.
 
Westarctica has received representatives from many micronations and a few sovereign nation-states. One guest of honor at the Grand Duke's 2004 wedding to [[Marquise of Walgreen|Grand Duchess Cathryn]] was the nephew of the Minister of Finance from Togo (a small country on the West African coast).

Grand Duke Travis meeting with President Baugh of Molossia and Chancellor Rankin of Slabovia at a diplomatic reception held by the Kingdom of Ruritania in 2017

As a sovereign nation-state, Westarctica engages in foreign relations with many nations, micronations, and other international governmental organizations. Aside from brief periods during the reign of Grand Duke Philip and Prime Minister Waesche, all foreign affairs have been handled by the Grand Duke of Westarctica; however, starting in 2018, a Minister of Foreign Affairs was appointed to handle day-to-day interactions with representatives from other countries.

History

In May 2005, Westarctica entered into its first international agreement, a treaty of friendship and recognition with the Republic of Molossia. This treaty became the go-to template for treaties of many other micronations, and portions of the text can still be found in micronational treaties to this day. Westarctica has signed treaties of friendship and recognition with dozens of other micronations from around the world and also entered into several multi-state pacts such as the West-Antarctic Treaty, the West-Antarctic Free Alliance and the Antarctic Micronational Union (which it later left).

United Nations status

Since January 2015, Westarctica has enjoyed non-consultative status as a member of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs - NGO Branch. In this capacity, representatives from Westarctica have participated in annual planning sessions with other NGOs to create and implement Sustainable Development Goals on a global scale.

Diplomatic activities

State visits

Grand Duke Travis has undertaken many state visits on behalf of Westarctica and has traveled widely to promote the country's interests and to help raise awareness of micronations in general. Starting in 2015, there was a major shift in the nature of these visits and public speeches: instead of advocating exclusively for recognition of Westarctica's sovereignty, the Grand Duke began advocating on behalf of the fragile West Antarctic ecosystem and made environmental conservation a key talking point.

Westarctica has received representatives from many micronations and a few sovereign nation-states. One guest of honor at the Grand Duke's 2004 wedding to Grand Duchess Cathryn was the nephew of the Minister of Finance from Togo (a small country on the West African coast).
