Blake Phillips
No one pays any mind to these "claims" the United States seeks to promote Antarctica’s status as a continent reserved for peace and science
James Diaz
how come america doesn't have one?
Joshua Anderson
why don't we have a claim
this was made in the 80's right?
russia and the US should've split it right down the middle
but from the way it looks claims were made off proximity and line of sight
Lucas Bailey
also, how come no one has claimed the land between new zealand's and chile's
Dylan Scott
One of the few times I would encourage the US to bully those cunts into fucking off Antarctica
Daniel Allen
yeah norway has an Island in the south Atlantic if I remember right
Aaron Garcia
When Antarctica starts to become inhabitable everyone is going to fight over it even China and I can't wait.

The UK has the Falklands, so I assumed they have a rightful claim to Antarctica.

claims are worthless, China is setting up bases all over your claims and you are doing jack shit kekaroo
Ryder Torres
We have something much, much better than a (((claim))). We have de facto presence at two of the most important facilities which are (((claimed))) by you gentle kiwis.
The unironic answer is that in the cold war days world governments decided that it would probably be a good idea to keep Antarctica as a sort of neutral zone, not out of any real altruism of course, but out of universal human acknowledgement that it's a special no-go territory which as of yet does not appear to have any overwhelming value. As more than one Australian has commented on this board, the minute some oil gets found there, the game changes. As it stands, Antarctica is a nice friendly neutral zone where anyone with the capacity to put up a base and play nice with the others can do so. This gets more tense between the UK, Argentina and Chile for obvious reasons.
Specifically, the Antarctic treaty. I haven't read it but it's this goofy neutral thing which purports to freeze (heh) any future claims, but again this is a mere formality. If I am a supervillain and I have the capacity to take Marie Byrd Land and all its oil for myself, and hold the land through whatever means (coercion, local sympathies, geopolitics etc), then it's mine because that is how countries have always worked. I haven't checked but I've gotten the impression that the USA and USSR (inherited doubtless to Russia) have the capacity to "formally stake claims" which again is irrelevant if it's just legalistic stuff, because that's not how these fringes operate. What matters is de facto control, and the USA has a great de facto control of Antarctica through our client state-whoops I mean "the consent of" New Zealand.

*pets U gently*
You are among my preferred pets, my cute vassals. I hold you, sweet cat, in the same esteem as my dear Micronesia, or Marshall, or rum-tum-tuggy Palau. I have built you all a big cat-playpen in my house at great expense. You are my pets, after all, and no amount of cringing on your part will change that. :3
