The '''[[Coat of Arms of Westarctica]]''' was established in its current form in 2015 as a [[National Symbols of Westarctica|National Symbol of Westarctica]], but arms for the nation have existed in various forms since 2005. It was originally used in it's most basic form (without supporters) on the reverse side of [[Coins of Westarctica|Westarctica's coins]], and a version with lion supporters was in the letterhead for decrees and correspondence issued by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]].
His Grace, the '''[[Duke of Ravencroft]]''', Philip Karns, is a member of the [[Peerage of Westarctica]]. He held the title [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]] from 2006 - 2008, ruling as Grand Duke Philip. He also served as [[Minister of Information]] from 2004 - 2006.


The first coat of arms for [[Westarctica]] was created by [[Duke of Moulton-Berlin|Jon-Lawrence Langer]] in January 2005 in his capacity as [[Ellsworth King of Arms|Chief Herald]]. The colors and design were based upon the first [[Flag of Westarctica]]: a green cross upon a field of teal. Instead of green and teal, however, Langer chose the colors yellow and sky blue to help set it apart from the flag.
Philip was born in rural Pennsylvania and excelled in painting and drawing during his teenage years. After graduating from college with a degree in art and design, he befriended [[Grand Duke Travis]], having become acquainted through their mutual friend, the [[Viscount of Whitmore]]. Their friendship quickly grew and the Grand Duke and Viscount served as ushers at Phillip's wedding.


These arms were quickly embraced by [[Grand Duke Travis]], who integrated the new arms into a more robust version with gilded lions as supporters.
In 2005, Grand Duke Travis was looking for someone to assume responsibility for [[Westarctica]]'s [[Westarctica Domain Name|official website]] and Philip offered to accept the role of [[Minister of Information]]. He quickly redesigned the website to look more professional and user-friendly and was given the title Marquis de Merovingi, which was raised to Duke of Ravencroft shortly thereafter.
