The '''[[Honorary Consular Corps]]''' is [[Westarctica]]'s primary diplomatic institution. It is staffed by volunteers who are carefully vetted by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] after passing the [[Honorary Consul Training Program]]. They are a key part of Westarctica's [[Foreign relations of Westarctica|foreign affairs program]].
The '''[[chinstrap penguin]]''' is a species of [[penguin]] which inhabits a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the [[Southern Ocean|Antarctic Ocean]]. Its name derives from the narrow black band under its head which makes it appear as if it were wearing a black helmet, making it one of the most easily identified types of penguin. Other common names are "ringed penguin", "bearded penguin", and "stonecracker penguin" due to its harsh call.


Honorary Consuls serve as representatives of the government of Westarctica in their home countries. They are expected to liaison with other citizens of Westarctica who either reside in their same geographic area or speak their same language. When official diplomatic events occur in their region, the Consuls may be asked to represent Westarctica's interests at these functions. For this reason, the Consuls must be well-versed on Westarctica's history, its mission, and goals.
Males are both larger and heavier than females.


Although Honorary Consuls are appointed by the Grand Duke, they are managed by the [[Foreign Minister]] and deliver monthly reports on their activities to him.
The adult chinstraps' flippers are black with a white edge; the inner sides of the flippers are white. The face is white extending behind the eyes, which are reddish brown; the chin and throat are white, as well, while the short bill is black. The strong legs and the webbed feet are pink. Its short, stumpy legs give it a distinct waddle when it walks. The chinstrap penguin's black back and white underside provide camouflage in the form of counter-illumination when viewed from above or below, helping to avoid detection by its predators.
