The Order of the Polar Cross is a knighthood in the Orders of Westarctica. It was created on 18 July 2022 to recognize micronationalists which share friendly terms with Westarctica. There is one class, that of Knight/Dame. The order is limited to 200 members.
Holders are entitled to the post-nominal "PC."
Criteria for award
The Order of the Polar Cross was created to celebrate friendship among micronations. There is no set criteria for the honor to be awarded, and all awards are made at the discretion of the Sovereign.
Regalia
The regalia for the knighthood is a 2-inch square badge in the form of a silver cross stylized with arrows pointing outward and a snowflake in the center. This symbolizes the South Pole and the lines of longitude that radiate across the world, touching all countries and people, like Westarctica's goodwill toward other nations.
The badge is worn on the center of the left chest under other medals and breast stars. Dames may place the badge near the left shoulder above other awards.
Members
The award was bestowed upon 100 attendees of MicroCon 2022 on 6 August 2022.
