The Commonwealth of Antarctic Circle States is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President David Freeman with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.824 billion Antarcticans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erebus. The average income tax rate is 38.3%.

The very strong Antarctican economy, worth 536 trillion Antarctican Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 68,512 Antarctican Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, and military training in Antarctic Circle States emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarctic Circle States's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is No official state religion.

Antarctic Circle States is ranked 72,565^th in the world and 4^th in Manala for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
