Based on my idea in the EU thread that a defictionalized version of Arthur Gordon Pym could be the discoverer of Antarctica (and given talk about a hollow Earth chapter) TTL the Union could rename Tierra del Fuego the state of Pymzonia, and use it as a base to patrol Antarctica, just because they can and claiming an entire continent for themselves is exactly their thing.Sea to Shining Sea!
Pole to Frozen Pole!
Manifestum Fati!
Kinda fascinating that all the nations which could make a partial claim on Antartica are members of fascist sphere (South Africa, Australia, Britian, Norway RU, Carolina) apart from maybe Peru and Argentina. Would be kinda hilarious if the Great White South became a flashpoint of conflict between the fascists.Based on my idea in the EU thread that a defictionalized version of Arthur Gordon Pym could be the discoverer of Antarctica (and given talk about a hollow Earth chapter) TTL the Union could rename Tierra del Fuego the state of Pymzonia, and use it as a base to patrol Antarctica, just because they can and claiming an entire continent for themselves is exactly their thing.

Other possible claimants could be MittelAfrika, the Dutch, Russians, French, Ireland (I want Irish colonies, dangit!)

More like North Pole amirite? It's also good to have a redoubt or two to launch retaliatory attacks from, but that would only be practical TTL between the creation of the Peacemaker Bomb and the birth of the Space Force.If you're a small island right next to a country whose population outnumbers yours by more than ten to one which is currently ruled by genocidal fascists who want you dead, why on Earth would you want to be dedicating your soldiers and spending your resources in a faraway land? Only if you're completely devoid of any sense of self-preservation.
It would be a bit like August 1939 Poland going "I know! This is the perfect time to spend our money sending our soldiers to make the North Pole Polish! What could possibly go wrong?"

Die young and leave a booby trapped corpse I say! A redoubt doesn't need to be large, just a small crew in a bunker or shoal of submarines with a missile delivery system.A nation can afford that sort of luxury when it isn't right next to a fascist regime which wants it annihilated from the face of the earth, ruling over a neighbouring nation with a population many, many times larger than its own. Under that circumstance, any military deployment or sizeable expenditure of resources outside the homeland—any—is Darwin Awards levels of "too dumb to live".

Meanwhile the Zealots of the Order of Patriot-Saint Lovecraft pass by as dead silence reigns for a moment and the local Union military governor looks on the argument with a look that's somehow both bored to death and ever vigilant.Antarctica, March 1976
British explorer: I do say chum, this piece of frozen soil with oil under it is the rightful property of the Brittanic Union! Rule Brittania!
Cokie Soldier: You listen to me you tea-swilling sumbitch, and you listen good! This land is rightful territory of the Confederation of the Carolina, and I'll fight ya for it! Hark the Sound!

I think the original apocalyptic epilogue in 1.0 was about a new ruler conquering the entire New World so clearly you'll end up with a Grand Atheling ruling a scheming court of lesser Athelings with an iron fist.But in classic Madnessverse fashion, everyone and their grandmother claims the title to the point where calling yourself Atheling is just a common fact of life.
Now obsessed with a Madnessverse version of a Medieval America thread!I think the original apocalyptic epilogue in 1.0 was about a new ruler conquering the entire New World so clearly you'll end up with a Grand Atheling ruling a scheming court of lesser Athelings with an iron fist.
