      Legendary_tortoise O5 as of now no country OWNS antarctica but any country including just some random person who wants to go to antarctica can build a base on antarctica as long as it follows the rules (the rules may change by 2040 which is when they will follow up on the old rules)

      That or if your country lacks said strengths in both military force or economic might to back up its claims to territory, resources, and economically valuable infrastructure then get the backing or support of countries that do have such strengths if not entirely because of sympathy or a sense of respecting a country's sovereignty then mostly because it's in your country's potential allies' best (current..) interests to help you assert your nation's claims to would be takers or challengers of them. Basically if you're small make big 'friends' and make yourself more convenient to keep around if not necessarily irreplaceable.

      While consideration to the environment should be paid, and hopefully these territorial disputes will be better resolved, who knows what could be hidden under the ice? We're talking about an area more than half the size of North America that's gone mostly untouched by human hands. Maybe the miners will find some archaeological treasure, another meteorite with signs of life on it, or a cure for cancer in some previously undiscovered mineral.

    The "leave nothing behind" rule also applies to tourists, who are told when they take a trip off their cruise ship to go walk on the icy land that they are not to leave anything, not even hair. Apparently cruise ship companies can be very alert to tourists traveling with other companies just in case they break that rule so one company can be taken out of the tourist running. I got this info from a friend of my mum's who took a cruise that stopped off at the Antarctican peninsula.

      After we take the penguins land, killing many in the process, we are going to give them reservations to make up for the Trail of Frozen Tears. Soon after, we'll want more of the Antarctic and push their reservations into smaller and smaller areas until they're a bunch of small penguin towns with penguins trying to grow up hoping on their penguin scholarships to help them out of the reservations and into the Americanized Antarctica.

    • @Treviisolion
      @Treviisolion 9 лет назад +1

      +JustinBobcat Well every country that would have the power to mine there. If Antarctica were to become completely claimed and then everyone who owned the claims renew the mining part of the deal, then if another country like Brazil decided they wanted to mine there, because they hadn't signed the treaty, as long as the treaty didn't require the countries that signed to give up their claims, Brazil would have to go through those countries who have claims first.
      Now if everyone but say the UK were to sign the treaty then all the countries that signed wouldn't be able to mine, but the UK could mine, at least in the land that they claimed was theirs (and if they wished to prevent international tension, only the land that everyone else agreed was theirs and wasn't claimed by someone else).

      +JustinBobcat everyone who's part of the treaty has to agree to the treaty
      those who agree to the treaty might enforce the rules from that treaty, if that is part of the treaty
      since I don't know the exact wording of the treaty and can't be bothered to read the thing, I'd say this is the safe answer:
      if enough major forces agree to the no mining thing then there will be no mining there for however long they agree on
      and I'd be surprised if they go promining, as that will get a LOT of border disputes, which could end up in tempers, which could end up in war, which could end up with a nuked away earth, which none of the countries (apart from north-korea maybe :P) want
