The Republic of Antarctic Union is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.208 billion Antarctic Unionians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The strong Antarctic Unionian economy, worth 81.6 trillion Snowcoins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,974 Snowcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,768 per year while the poor average 2,612, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Antarctic Union's national animal is the Pengiun, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Antarctic Union is ranked 228,882^nd in the world and 53^rd in Timoria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
