The '''Westarctica Civilian Corps''' is an organization currently headed by [[Duke Jordan of the Bear Peninsula]]. | The '''Westarctica Civilian Corps''' is an organization comprised of citizens of [[Westarctica]] who are admitted to the Corps regardless of noble status, knighthoods, or other rank. The only consideration is dedication to the nation and a sincere desire to better Westarctica and themselves. | ||
It is currently headed by the Commissioner of the Corps, the [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula]]. | |||
==Impetus for creation== | |||
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. | |||
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 a classless organization where each individual could gain recognition based on concrete actions. 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. | |||
==Activities of the Corps== | |||
Members will be rewarded for successful completion of over 17 different approved activities. Each activity has an associated award ribbon, and members are encouraged to try to collect them all (similar to Scouting Merit Badges). These awards can only be won / worn by members of the Citizen Corps. | |||
