MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

The Ministry of the Imperial Guard and Environmental Defense serves as the symbolic shield of the Crown of Antarctica. Though the Crown is founded upon peace and neutrality, this Ministry exists to ensure that peace is preserved, not presumed — and that Antarctica remains undefiled by exploitation or aggression.

This Ministry does not raise armies, but raises awareness, vigilance, and guardianship. It does not wage war, but defends what cannot defend itself: the land, the ice, and the life it holds.

1. The Imperial Guard

• Oversight of the Imperial Antarctic Guard, a ceremonial and symbolic order

• Design and enforcement of Crown insignia, uniforms, and protocols

• Selection of Honorary Guardians from among global conservationists, scientists, and veterans of peace

2. Environmental Protection Enforcement

• Enforcement of all Imperial Edicts concerning resource protection and wildlife preservation

• Surveillance illicit drilling, dumping, or ecological harm

• Partnership with research stations and watchdog organizations to monitor activity across the continent

3. Defense of the Claim

• Preservation of the sovereign Antarctic claim as established in 1950 and revived in 2025

• Defense of Crown jurisdiction over declared territory through lawful declarations and diplomatic strength

• Publication of the Imperial Defense Doctrine, affirming the sacred right to defend purity without violence

This Ministry upholds the Crown’s duty to defend the defenseless, to speak for the ice, and to protect all future generations from the reckless greed of the present. Defense, in the Crown’s tradition, is never domination — it is guardianship. Peace. Always.

• Imperial Antarctic Guard (ceremonial)

• Crown Wildlife Patrol (symbolic oversight of species protected by Edict II & III)

• Imperial Watchtowers (symbolic monitoring points across Crown territory)

The Minister of the Imperial Guard and Environmental Defense is appointed by His Imperial Majesty to act as the first sentinel of the Crown — an honorary protector of purity, sovereignty, and the sacred silence of Antarctica.
