Diplomat's Package Available!

​

At the behest of our Foreign Minister, we have created an easy way for our new diplomats, citizens, knights, and peers to show their Westarctican patriotism.

​

The Diplomat's Package has everything you need to show the world that you are a part of Westarctica. It includes:

​

• One full size 5x3 Westarctica flag.

• One desktop Westarctica flag with metal stand.

• One Westarctica flag lapel pin.

• Three Westarctica flag stickers.

Nominate Someone for a Knighthood

​

Did you know that anyone can receive a knighthood from Westarctica, even if they're not a citizen?

​​

Knighthoods may not be purchased, but must be earned through service to the nation or other noble deeds. They are awarded by the Grand Duke throughout the year, but traditionally announced on November 2nd (Westarctica's anniversary) to recognize significant achievements of our citizens and allies.

Become a Peer of Westarctica

​

Since 2005, Westarctica has honored its supporters with noble titles in the Peerage of Westarctica. We're not pretending these titles will get you invited to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the King, but they do give you an opportunity to discuss the fragile state of Westarctica's ice sheet.

​

Imagine trying to discuss the melting Albanus Glacier at a cocktail party... Not very interesting, right? But if you're telling them the Duchy of Albanus is melting into the ocean due to the challenges of climate change, NOW you've got their attention!

Global sea ice hit ‘all-time minimum’ in February

​
Scientists called the news ‘particularly worrying’ because ice reflects sunlight and cools the planet.

 

Global sea ice fell to a record low in February, scientists have said, a symptom of an atmosphere fouled by planet-heating pollutants.

 

The combined area of ice around the north and south poles hit a new daily minimum in early February and stayed below the previous record for the rest of the month, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said on Thursday.
