The United States of Antartica The Great is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jimbo with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.359 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Tropical Part. The average income tax rate is 75%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, students cut up leftover CRAAW Feathers during Arts and Crafts, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Jimbo's bedroom. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antartica The Great's national animal is the CRAAW, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the CRAAW Feather.

Antartica The Great is ranked 1,951st in the Pacific and 49,271st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
