Antarctic Oasis is a dank pit of corporate tyranny and environmental crimes; its leaders shake the very foundations of earnest faith in honest and accountable government; its people are probably the rudest and most ignorant bunch of S.O.B.s ever to occupy their own sovereign territory -- oh, wait. That's actually a description of Omigodtheykilledkenny, the founding nation, but the whole region is pretty much the same.
Founded as a refuge for a bunch of scummy dictators and rogue tyrants trying to escape the prying eyes of international tribunals and human-rights watchdogs, the region came into being when these leaders came upon the world's last unspoiled wilderness, blinding white beauty wreathed in pale sunlight and stunning natural ice sculptures, and decided what it really needed was some strip-mining, maybe a few...thousand oil wells, and smog -- lots of smog -- so some humongous, massively polluting cities would be great, and maybe a few illegal weapons-testing facilities to make it complete. Also, what were all those penguins doing, just happily scampering along the ice and swimming in the ocean, when they could be rigged up with explosives and trained as mighty warriors? A few senseless massacres of WA compliance officials later, Antarctic Oasis had arrived.
Since then, the region and its leaders have done just about everything they could to piss off the world at large, including terrorizing peaceful countries with unprovoked saber-rattling and maniacal cackling, invading powerless countries to take out their frustrations over decisions of the WA, plying rival countries with liquor and prostitutes to compel them to spill national secrets, and corrupting the halls of the WA General Assembly with brazenly lewd and obscene conduct (see Thessadorian Ambassador), bribes-for-votes scandals, violent and disorderly behavior (see Defenestration), and reams of repeals and blockers to neuter the WA of its power and leave it a hollow shell of what it once was. At least that's what the official AO Conspiracy manuals say; the real story is probably a bit more complex, not to mention boring.
Bot sez...
Antarctic Oasis is a large region, with a bustling and busy community, numbering 61 nations and only 14 World Assembly Members.
In Antarctic Oasis, denizens enjoy their civil rights, although not too much, or too freely. Nations in the region are considered developing democracies, with some political freedoms afforded to denizens. The economy of the region is very strong, with a large number of very powerful trading powers. The median tax rate of the region is 34%, but is frequently higher for the wealthy. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average 28% of the economy comprising the public sector. Stoking commercial activity is a major priority for governments, accounting for an average of 8% of public expenditure.
Antarctic Oasis does not prioritize education in any meaningful way. Crime is low: the region enjoys well-equipped and well-funded police forces, coupled with efficient but fair judicial systems. Defense is a major priority for governments within the region, with a large chunk of government budgets being devoted to it. Due to the lack of any Public transport, streets are packed with cars, bikes, and assorted noisy vehicles.
Governments in Antarctic Oasis communicate very well amongst themselves, with administration departments working smoothly, with 4% on average of government budgets being devoted to Administration. Some government provision is made for healthcare, but at an average of only 1% the provision for healthcare in the region is paltry. Welfare in the region is minimal, with only a small amount of expenditure being devoted to spending on social security. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.
Social inequality is rife amongst the nations within Antarctic Oasis. Natural environments are quite bad, although some measures have been undertaken to ensure that the environment is protected.
