'''Sir Percival Waddlesworth''' is the official mascot of the nation of [[Westarctica]]. He is depicted as an anthropomorphic adult male penguin, species unknown but possibly a [[chinstrap penguin]], wearing an top hat and monocle. Penguins are almost exclusively endemic to the Southern Hemisphere, and so the association of a penguin with the country of Westarctica is a natural one. | |||
==Creation and naming== | |||
In early 2018, [[Grand Duke Travis]] commissioned an artist to create a "fancy penguin" who would "do for Westarctica what Mr. Peanut did for Planters." After several iterations over the course of a week, the final result was approved by the Grand Duke and shared with the citizens of Westarctica through the official Facebook page. | |||
===Naming contest=== | |||
On 29 January 2018, a contest was announced to name the penguin. The winner was promised a Knighthood for coming up with the name that best suited the fancy penguin. | |||
Over 150 responses were recorded and the top ten names were presented to the members of the [[Westarctica's Hereditary Nobility|Hereditary Nobility]]. The nobles did not vote on single names, instead, they were asked to vote on three separate parts of the name: a title, a first name, and a last name. | |||
