liakos: the proud nation of Antarctica excluding those labs.
Antarctica is a continent.
"As Antarctica was an unclaimed territory and a possible source of valuable resources, several nations decided to claim portions of the continent. What is very unusual about borders in Antarctica is the fact that they all follow lines of longitude and are completely straight.
The United Kingdom claimed a pie piece portion in 1908, New Zealand made their claim in 1923, France in 1924, Australia in 1933, Norway in 1939, Chile in 1940, and finally Argentina in 1943. Many of these claims overlapped (an excellent map) and oddly enough, the area between 90° and 150° west went unclaimed by any nation.
The Antarctic Treaty
July 1957-December 1958 was the International Geophysical Year (IGY), a time of unprecedented international scientific cooperation between scientists around the world (even between the U.S. and the Soviet Union) to record and exchange data about our planet. Dozens of Antarctic research stations were established during the IGY and the spirit of cooperation led to the Antarctic Treaty in December, 1959.
The fourteen short articles of the treaty are summarized by Martin Glassner:
Antarctica is to be used for peaceful purposes only; no military activities of any kind are permitted, though military personnel and equipment may be (and are) used for scientific purposes. Freedom of scientific investigation and cooperation shall continue. Scientific program plans, personnel, observations, and results shall be freely exchanged. No prior territorial claim is recognized, disputed, or established, and no new claims may be made while the treaty is in force. Nuclear explosions and disposal of radioactive waste are prohibited. All land and ice shelves south of latitude 60°S are covered, but not the high seas of the area. Observers from treaty States have free access to any area and may inspect all stations, installations, and equipment. Treaty states shall meet periodically to exchange information... (549)
The treaty was signed by twelve nations in 1959 which included the seven nations which had made claims as well as five non-claimant countries (South Africa, Belgium, Japan, United States, and Soviet Union). The treaty was ratified in 1961 and had an initial period of thirty years. There are now a total of 42 nations which have become members of the Antarctic Treaty system. The treaty was renewed in the early 1990s amid concerns that the treaty makes no mention of commercial or tourism use of the continent."
Unless you are refering to penguins!
Australia

True.
Every nation can be good.
But every nation can be bad.
It depends on their state of mind at the moment.
And that's why mass media exists, to control that state of mind.

Caledonia (del galo y britónico caled, que ha dado kalet, «duro», en bretón) es el antiguo nombre latino de Escocia.
Caledonia = Scottland (old latin name)
