'''Westarctica''', | '''Westarctica''', formally known as the '''Grand Duchy of Westarctica''', and previously known as the '''Protectorate of Westarctica''' and the '''Achaean Territory of Antarctica''', is an area of desolate land in Western Antarctica that was unclaimed until [[Grand Duke Travis|Travis McHenry]] claimed the territory by filing a [[Claimant Letter|claimant letter]] with nine world governments, a declaration of status not recognized by most established countries, in 2001. | ||
The territory consists of the entirety of [[Marie Byrd Land]] with a few additional non-contiguous claims and has no year round residents, although seasonal research stations are located in the region. Westarctica was founded though a loophole in the [[Antarctic Treaty]]. | The territory consists of the entirety of [[Marie Byrd Land]] with a few additional non-contiguous claims and has no year round residents, although seasonal research stations are located in the region.
