A half-acre of the nation was designated as The Colonial Estates. The estates are each 10 feet by 10 feet plots of land that have been given to Westarctica's [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobles]]. Possessing Manorial Rights gives the holder the right to be known as Lord/Lady of the Manor. | A half-acre of the nation was designated as The Colonial Estates.

In July 2011, Calsahara established its first military force, the Royal Corps of Engineers. The primary duty of the Corps was to defend against seasonal flooding which endangers the southern border of Calsahara. | |||
During the 2010 state visit to [[Kingdom of Vikesland|Vikesland]], members of the Corps of Engineers participated in the Joint Micronational Training Exercise-2010 (JMTEX-10) with the Vikesland Security Force. In 2011, they constructed the Otisburg Fire Pit, a small ring of rocks quarried from Calsahara. | |||
Although capable of combat operations, Calsaharan soldiers did not carry firearms. After Calsahara was absorbed as a colony of Westarctica, the Corps of Engineers was dissolved, although the Captain-General of Calsahara reserves the right to marshal troops should they be necessary for national defense. | |||
