==Names of the nobles==
==Names of the collected nobles==
During the era when Westarctica was known as the [[Achaean Territory of Westarctica]], the collected nobles were simply known as "the Nobility." In 2002, when the [[Achaean Royal Charter]] was decreed, the name was formalized as the [[Baronage]]. This name was retained in the [[Grand Ducal Charter]] of 2004.

In September 2012, when the first [[Charter of Westarctica]] was decreed, the nobles were labeled simply "nobility," however, in the second revision of the Charter, only a month later, [[Grand Duke Travis]] first added the word "hereditary" to the article on nobility. From this time forward, the group of nobles became known as the "Hereditary Nobility."
