The other unique order, the Noble Order of Westarctica, confers a hereditary knighthood upon the bearer. Should the sovereign decide to stop issuing the honor, heirs to existing knights and dames of the order would continue to inherit membership in the order, in perpetuity. This fact means that the order will be active unless acted upon by Westarctica's Sovereign. The decision could be made to stop bestowing the order upon successors, allowing the order to go dormant through attrition. However, as this could be seen as going against the spirit of the order, it may instead be decided to abolish it, altogether. | The other unique order, the Noble Order of Westarctica, confers a hereditary knighthood upon the bearer.

==Abolished Orders== | |||
An order can only be abolished by official decree of the Sovereign. This has not yet happened in Westarctica, and it is uncertain if this will ever be deemed necessary, since the majority of Westarctica's orders can simply be allowed to become dormant. | |||
