The bulk of Westarctican territory consists of [[Marie Byrd Land]]; this was the original territory claimed. It was defined as all land south of 60° S and between 90° W and 150° W. This is between the claim of Chile and the claim of New Zealand. The original capital was named Achilles. Later on, the [[Balleny Islands]] and [[Peter I Island]] were annexed. Peter I Island was declared the new capital of Westarctica. After the reformation of the Grand Duchy into a protectorate (October 2010) Grand Duke Travis reduced the Westarctican claim in order to join the [[Antarctic Micronational Union]] and recognize other micronational claims in West-Antarctica. This decision was made official after the signing of the [[West-Antarctic Treaty]]. | The bulk of Westarctican territory consists of [[Marie Byrd Land]]; this was the original territory claimed.
