South Pole Republic

The Republic of the Southern Pole, commonly known as South Pole Republic or SPR, is a parliamentary republic located in Mainland Antarctica. It consists of a group of small states which merged together to stand against the larger, imperialist nations surrounding it. The SPR is one of the major financial and economic hubs in Antarctica, having made billions from international trade, thanks to strict rules and business-friendly policies
The republic was formed in 1965, having seceded from their various colonial rulers. The states of New Pole and Western Cape, the two largest and most powerful nations, realized that to survive, they had to merge together. Slowly, the six states merged together. The nation is ruled from New Pole City, though each state has some sort of autonomy, such as the upkeep of facilities and development projects.
The nation is known for having a state of neutrality and a somewhat powerful military, with compulsory national service. Their neutrality policy has resulted in peace, but the nation has been criticized for not supporting capitalidt nations against communist and socialist regimes
==History==
Recognizing that the South Pole, although far from the coast, was a viable location in terms of military and economic position, the United Kingdom of Antarctica decided to claim a piece of land, today mostly in New Pole for themselves. Seeing this, other nations, such as neighboring Gempengy, decided to claim the land, resulting in the six separate colonies being formed, belonging to the UKA, Gexon, Franse, Gempengy, Rossija and Marweenia, the six superpowers, owning New Pole, West Cape, Ninjaski, New Zarch, Rivella and Hirse Town.
The six colonies prospered, as the region was at the center point of Antarctica, allowing for free flow of trade. The nations collectively agreed that the centre most point of the colonies would ba an international zone where penguins from other nations other than the six colonies could trade, and where disputes could be settled.
