The Empire Of Antarctica

Antarctica is more than a frozen continent. It is an empire of the U.S. Fellowship, a confederation of independent nations united under the American Betsy Ross -- the original stars and stripes. The average temperature in Antarctica is -230°F, marking it the coldest point in the world, but there are parts warm enough to sustain human life. These were named the biodomes, for they are based on surface mention. In 1959, the internationally owned continent was found to have a virus that killed so many 21 and older, leaving the young adults, teenagers, and children to fend for themselves. Using their imaginations, they built structures and roads all over the continent, held debates over their new empire, and crowned 12-year-old Melissa Nelson as Empress. They spoke Japanese so as to confound the Communist nations at that time. On May 10, 1969, U.S. President Richard Nixon signed the Empirical Antarctic Constitution and the Empire became a Sovereign State. The Empress Melissa established Florida State University in Okinawa and the University of Alexandria in the capital city Sasuki.

According to the Antarctic Constitution, the monarch is both the symbol and leader, into which is for life. After the monarch dies, a new one is elected and hence heir to the throne. Empress Melissa died in 2002 of cancer at age 54. The population is now over 300 million although it is twice the size of Australia. Its flag consists of a black field with a fuschia cross resembling England. The Empirical Coat-of-Arms is used in Sea World's entrance since the theme park is Antarctic. Its currency is the credit ($0.01 U.S.) although the U.S. dollar is accepted. Its official languages are English and Japanese. Its motto: "United We Stand." The flag resulted in the Commonwealth Realm of the Bahamas using a striped and triangle flag.
