-Peter I Island was excluded from the initial area claimed by the government of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] in 2001, and was not considered a part of the territory at that time. The [[Consul-General of the Achaean Territory|Consul-General]] felt that claiming ownership of an area which had previously been claimed by another sovereign nation might weaken the overall legitimacy of his government.
+Peter I Island was included in the initial area claimed by the government of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] in 2001, but it was not considered an important part of the territory at that time due to Norway's pre-existing claim. The [[Consul-General of the Achaean Territory|Consul-General]] felt that asserting ownership over an area which had previously been annexed by another sovereign nation might weaken the overall legitimacy of his government.
 When the Achaean Territory was reorganized as the [[Westarctica|Grand Duchy of Westarctica]] and [[Grand Duke Travis]] began to take his plans for visiting Westarctica's land seriously, that he sought out an ideal location for the first landing. Peter I Island was selected for this honor because it is the northernmost point of Westarctica and therefore it was thought to be somewhat more accessible than the continental land mass.
