Whaling in Japan is estimated to have begun around the 12th century. However, Japanese whaling on an industrial scale began around the 1890s when Japan began to participate in the modern whaling industry, at that time an industry in which many countries participated. Japanese whaling activities have historically extended far outside Japanese territorial waters, even into whale sanctuaries protected by other countries.

Starting in 2016, Westarctica took an active approach to fight Japan's illegal whaling operation in the Southern Ocean. Westarctica's primary weapon of war involves publicly shaming executives and scientists who work for the Japanese whaling companies. It has also created public service advertisements (distributed through paid ads on Facebook) to encourage Japanese citizens to boycott whale meat.

-The '''[[Seven Seas of Rhye]]''' is a major body of water in the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. It forms the western border of Calsahara and the United States and is almost entirely within the [[Principality of Rhye]].
+'''[[Whaling in Japan]]''' is estimated to have begun around the 12th century. However, Japanese whaling on an industrial scale began around the 1890s when Japan began to participate in the modern [[whaling]] industry, at that time an industry in which many countries participated. Japanese whaling activities have historically extended far outside Japanese territorial waters, even into whale sanctuaries protected by other countries.
-The Seas are comprised of a series of shallow pools of heavily alkaline water.  The actual number of pools or "seas" varies from season to season— the designation "seven" is arbitrary. The Seas are subject to seasonal flooding, and during the early spring or late fall they are transformed from individual shallow pools into a river that flows into the Soda Lake of San Luis Obispo County. Due to the heavily alkaline nature of the water in the Seven Seas of Rhye, the only life found there are brine shrimp or fairy shrimp. These are most prevalent during the early spring when the Seas are full of fresh rain water and the shrimp eggs from the previous season suddenly spring to life. This type of brine shrimp is popularly known as "Sea Monkeys."
+Starting in 2016, [[Westarctica]] took an active approach to fight Japan's illegal [[whaling]] operation in the [[Southern Ocean]]. Westarctica's primary weapon of war involves publicly shaming executives and scientists who work for the Japanese whaling companies. It has also created public service advertisements (distributed through paid ads on Facebook) to encourage Japanese citizens to boycott whale meat.
-At certain times of the year, the Seas become a popular feeding ground for migratory birds looking to enjoy the massive numbers of brine shrimp.
