The Red Snow is a 2007 war epic set in Antarctica during the Second World War. While it also deals with the War in general, the film notably focusses on the actions of political and military leaders at the time, such as, , and. It is also notable for having each of the characters speak in their own language, despite the fact that this involves the principal characters speaking six different languages. Many have interpreted the film as a "political anthology", as it displays the strengths and flaws of each leader and each political system in Antarctica at the time

=Lumberjack Island= Lumberjack Island (German: Holzfällerinsel; Japanese: Kikorishima, きこりしま) is a semi-autonomous territory of.

History
First inhabited by, the island was settled by  colonists in 1899. As the name suggests, these early colonists lived in a cluster of small logging villages, and soon became renowned as the most successful woodcutters in all of German Antarctica. The villages began to grow quickly, and the islands forests began to diminish. By 1910, the villages had amalgamated into a city, and most of the forest had been logged. It was around this time that the traditional logging lifestyle almost vanished, as factories and shipyards began to be established.

By 1914, the island had become, as German Antarctic governor said, a "Treibendsfabrik", or "floating factory"; meaning that much of the island was now filled by the city, and much of the city was designed to fuel its factories and shipyards. Some contemporary experts claimed that Lumberjack Island was the most industrial city in Antarctica.

During, the island was the target of -based naval assaults. These were not a major problem for the island, however, as the Kerguelaine navy was small, and most of its efforts were focussed elsewhere — particularly the New Swabian capital,. The Allied ground troops could not easily reach Lumberjack Island, as they would have to cross the whole of New Swabia first; so the island finally fell to the Allies after being blockaded by an expeditionary force of the Japanese Navy in 1916. The rest of New Swabia surrendered just days after the fall of Lumberjack Island, as British, Australian and Russian troops advanced towards Neumayer.

After the War, most of New Swabia became a British Mandate; but Lumberjack Island remained under Japanese control. The Japanese government sponsored heavy immigration to the island, and encouraged locals to move to the mainland; in an attempt to create a Japanese-dominated population. This was successful, to an extent, but the number of Japanese in the area was never as high as the authorities hoped. By, Japan and New Swabia were close allies, and the New Swabian government gladly reaffirmed Japan's claim to the island.

The Japanese and New Swabians fought side by side during the War, which further strengthened their alliance. - like all Japanese governors of the island - was also its military commander; and headed both the local Army and Navy divisions. In 1941, Shimura surrendered the island to the British

=National Socialism in New Swabia= The political ideology of National Socialism originally arose in in the late 1920s, and also became popular in  a few years later. However, the New Swabian branch of National Socialism was markedly different from the German branch in several ways.

Slavs
Upon the Nazi rise to power, New Swabia was home to a sizeable population of Slavic immigrants – the largest in outside of.

Comparison with The Friendly Isles
While Calvin Coolidge — the author of the novel The Friendly Isles, on which Oahu is partly based — was (and still is) a relatively non-mainstream figure with a 'cult' following; many of his fans were critical of the film's treatment of Coolidge's novel. In particular, Skipper's execution scene (one of the most iconic scenes of the film), in which he roars "God bless America!" before being publicly beheaded in front of the other POWs, drew criticism.

=Berkner Land War= Old Text: In the 1870s, Berkner was a sparsely inhabited wilderness, with overlapping claims by the British and Russian Empires. Neither country was particularly invested in the region, no borders were drawn up, and there was no attempt to officially divide the region - though both sides expected that the situation would be handled when the area became more populated.

The Russian presence in the region consisted of several small log-cabin villages, which were almost all on the mainland, close to the rest of. At best, the government of this colony had little power, and in a frontier region such as Berkner, the Russian colonists lived in effective anarchy, with village mayors being the only real authority.

Meanwhile, the British settlers lived in small fishing villages, similar to those in New England and Atlantic Canada; and they had control of most of the region's islands. , a British explorer, had discovered the region a decade earlier; and his had become the de facto "Governors" of the region (though the Governor of  officially held this position), and they were seen as the local government. The, which operated fishing, shipping and transportation, almost completely dominated the economy of the British settlements; and its owners, the , were another authority in the region.

There were some tensions between the local settlers of each Nation, and this occasionally led to skirmishes between them, but these were rare and usually very minor.

It was two decades later that settlers from and  entered the region, which was still empty enough that they had a good chance of claiming it for their own Nations.

=Antarctic Assembly= Old Text:

This region is home to the Antarctic Assembly, a UN-like international Diplomatic entity, which administers major issues between the Nations of Antarctica. The Assembly also governs the South Pole itself, though its main role is to handle International relations. Member States of this Assembly are:

States that are “Part-Members” have limited powers, and are unable to vote on certain resolutions.

Three states which are members through their territories (New Zealand, Norway and the British Imperial Confederation) must only send representatives from these territories, not from the main country itself.

Australia and France are exempt from this rule, as their territories ( and, respectively) are direct parts of the country. They may send representatives from anywhere in the nation.
