Antartida (Night of the Living Alternate History Map Game)

Antartida is a direct dependency under the United Republics through Argentina. As a direct dependency its land and resources are owned by the United Republics. However, as research stations became cities and expansion continued. The Antarctic Cities were formed to give them more of a voice in the Legislative Branches. Antartida is the first of three Antarctic dependencies of the United Republics. It was formed when the Falkland Islands and their former dependencies joined the United Republics in 1973, thus eliminating the British claim on Antarctica, and allowing Argentina to claim and administer over the region. Primary research that goes on in Antartida consists of solar panels, thermal insulation, and ship capabilities. The Solar technology and thermal insulation has been used by URSA and thus is subject to the Space Tax. URSA is the primary supplier of scientists and funds for research in Antartida.
