The Stalwart Federation of The Municipalities of Antarctica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Primary Governor Cetiri Oltasina with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.604 billion Antarcticans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hii. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Antarctican economy, worth a remarkable 3,089 trillion Municipal Antarctic Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 359,075 Municipal Antarctic Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Municipalities of Antarctica's national animal is the Weddell Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Municipalities of Antarctica is ranked 910^th in the world and 16^th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 101.07 average smiles per day.
