The United States of South-Antartica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mister Ice with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.038 billion South-Antarticans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poletown. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped South-Antartican economy, worth 393 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,694 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, South-Antartica has designated Poletown as its capital city, Mister Ice has just been declared ruler of South-Antartica in an international press conference, and Icing has been named as South-Antartica's national religion. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South-Antartica's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Icing.

South-Antartica is ranked 158,762^nd in the world and 1^st in Warzone Space for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
