The Westarctica Civilian Corps was the brainchild of Duke Jordan of the Bear Peninsula. In his capacity as [[Minister of Citizenship & Immigration]], the Duke was contemplating ways to better engage new citizens while giving them opportunities to take actions that would benefit Westarctica and further advance the national mission of preserving and conserving the environment. | The Westarctica Civilian Corps was the brainchild of [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Duke Jordan of the Bear Peninsula]].

As Westarctica already had a long tradition of recognizing supporters with [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|noble titles]] and [[Orders of Westarctica|knighthoods]], Duke Jordan desired an organization where each individual could gain recognition based on concrete actions, without ranks or classes. At the same time, [[Grand Duke Travis]] had been debating new ways to reward common citizens for their actions beyond giving knighthoods and titles. The two ideas merged together to become the Westarctica Civilian Corps. | As Westarctica already had a long tradition of recognizing supporters with [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|noble titles]] and [[Orders of Westarctica|knighthoods]], Duke Jordan desired an organization where each individual could gain recognition based on concrete actions, without ranks or classes.
