-The '''Balleny Islands''' are a series of uninhabited islands in the [[Southern Ocean]] extending from 66°15' to 67°35'S and 162°30' to 165°00'E. The islands are heavily glaciated and of volcanic origin. [[glacier|Glaciers]] project from their slopes into the sea. They are located within the [[Ross Dependency]] and were originally claimed first by the United Kingdom and then by New Zealand before being annexed by [[Westarctica]].
+As a sovereign nation-state, [[Westarctica]] engages in '''foreign relations''' with many nations, [[micronation]]s, and other international governmental organizations. Aside from brief periods during the reign of [[Grand Duke Philip]] and [[Duke of Waesche|Prime Minister Waesche]], all foreign affairs have been handled by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica]]; however, starting in 2018, a [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] was appointed to handle day-to-day interactions with representatives from other countries.
-The group includes three main islands: [[Young Island|Young]], [[Buckle Island|Buckle]] and [[Sturge Island|Sturge]], which lie in a line from northwest to southeast, along with several smaller islets and rocks.
+In May 2005, Westarctica entered into its first international agreement, a treaty of friendship and recognition with the [[Republic of Molossia]]. This treaty became the go-to template for treaties of many other [[micronation]]s, and portions of the text can still be found in micronational treaties to this day. [[Westarctica]] has signed treaties of friendship and recognition with dozens of other micronations from around the world and also entered into several multi-state pacts such as the [[West-Antarctic Treaty]], the [[West-Antarctic Free Alliance]] and the [[Antarctic Micronational Union]] (which it later left).'''([[Foreign relations of Westarctica|Full Article...]])'''
-Although claimed by New Zealand, the Balleny Islands were annexed by [[Westarctica]] in 2005. The islands are one of two [[Antarctic]] areas claimed by Westarctica that are not contiguous with its primary territory (the other is [[Peter I Island]], which is claimed by Norway).
