The '''Commonwealth of Antarctic Circle States''' or simply '''Antarctic Circle States'''(A.C.S.), is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Frigo continent, the oversea territory of the Cocos Islands, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 14,300,000 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi),[14] A.C.S. is the largest country by area in Frigo and the world's XX-largest country. A.C.S. is the coldest, driest, and windiest inhabited nation, with the least fertile soils. Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by two oceans, it contains the geographic South Pole. A.C.S. also holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on the planet, −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). The coastal regions can reach temperatures over 10 °C (50 °F) in summer.
Politically, A.C.S. is a federal presidential parliamentary republic, comprising 12 provinces and 3 special administrative districts. A.C.S.'s population of nearly 41 million is highly urbanized and heavily concentrated on the shoreline. Erebus is the nation's capital, while the five largest cities are Rothera, Frei, Syowa, Cape Adare, and Dumont d'Urville. A.C.S.'s demography has been shaped by centuries of immigration, with immigrants accounting for 42% of the country's population, one of the highest proportion among major developed nations. A.C.S.'s abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade relations are crucial to the country's economy, which generates its income from various sources including services, mining exports, banking, scientific research, manufacturing, and international education.
Antarctic Circle States is a highly developed country with a high-income economy; it has the world's sixth-largest economy, second-highest per capita income and XX-highest Human Development Index. A.C.S. is a regional power, and has the world's XX-highest military expenditure. A.C.S. ranks highly in quality of life, democracy, health, education, economic freedom, safety, and political rights, with all its major cities faring exceptionally in global comparative livability surveys. It is a member of international groupings including the XX, XX and XXX.

==History==
{{Main|History of The Furbish Islands|Timeline of Furbish History}}
===Pre-Loaísan era===
{{Main|Pre-Loaísan era}}
The first human settlement of The Furbish Islands occurred circa 800.
===Colonization===
{{Main|Colonial history of The Furbish Islands}}
===Independence and civil war===
{{Main|Furbish revolution|Furbish first republic|Furbish civil war}}
A series of factors led to pro-independence protests in 1805. They were violently suppressed by colonial authorities, which only caused protests to turn into riots. On 31 January, rioters lead by the [[Bolsrade Six]] [[1805 Bolsrade riots|stormed]] the colonial garrison and governor's mansion and established the [[Nieuw Maasland Free State]]. Seven more coups took place other parts of the islands, while revolutionaries attacked surrounding areas. After [[Battle of Boston(1805)|defeating colonial forces in Boston]], [[Martijn van Riemsdijk]] called delegates from the islands to the [[Boston Convention]], where the [[Furbish first republic|first republic]] formally established on 17 August. A [[First Furbish constitution|temporary constitution]] was written, to be replaced by a more permanent one. A colonial invasion force was defeated in late 1805, marking the end of the Furbish revolution.
Different Furbish populations were unable to agree on a new constitution. Tensions grew, leading to the Furbish civil war between different language groups and some groups that wished to return to colonial role. English speaking forces under [[John Dodson]] defeated colonial forces and other Furbish armies, but was unable to secure a major victory against the latter, leading to the [[Boston peace conference]] in 1815. A [[Second Furbish constitution|new constitution]] was drafted with terms dictated by Dodson, establishing the [[Furbish second repblic|second republic]], and making him the first stadtholder.
===Second republic and Time of Troubles===
{{Main|Furbish second republic|Interior wars|Time of Troubles}}
The new constitution gave autonomy to Dutch, French, Portuguese, and Spanish minorities, but none to indigenous populations, and the government was designed to be dominated by the English-speaking majority. The governments of Dodson and his successors worked to introduce the industrial revolution to The Furbish Islands. ''Laissez-faire'' policies were established to make the Furbish economy competitive on the world stage, which increased the power of the upper classes. Despite discrimination faced, economic opportunities in new factories and several gold rushes attracted immigrants from all over the world.
Dodson's government also encouraged Furbish settlement in the interior, which brought them into conflicts with the indigenous population, which were known as the [[interior wars]]. They lasted up to the end of the 19th century. The Furbish committed numerous atrocities during the conflicts. In 1869, Stadtholder [[Milton Carnell]] launched a [[Hrvadan-Furbish War|punitive expedition]] into [[Hrvada]]. The federal government saw democratic backsliding through the 19th century, which increased significantly as power switched four times between the [[Whig Party (The Furbish Islands)|Whig Party]] under Milton Carnell and [[National Republican Party (The Furbish Islands)|National Republican Party]] under [[Dominic Drumpf]] from 1864 to 1873.
In 1873, rampant inflation, corruption, discrimination, democratic backsliding, and a violent suppression of a northern railroad worker strike led to the [[Burger rebellion]]. The government under Stadtholder Dominic Drumpf did not contain the rebellion. They established concentration camps in the north. The desertion of a Gendarmerie company led by Captain [[Jean de Flandre]] on 23 June began a period known as the [[Time of Troubles]]. Fourteen successive stadtholders were overthrown, beginning with Drumpf on 29 July. The Time of Troubles ended when [[Jozef van Biddinghuizen]] [[Coup of 15 February|took power]] in 15 February 1875 and gained popular support by promising to restore order. Van Biddinghuizen wrote a [[Constitution of The Furbish Islands|new constitution]], with input from delegates from all over The Furbish Islands. It was ratified by the provinces in 17 August 1875. All forms of discrimination and slavery were outlawed.
===Late 19th and 20th centuries===
{{Main|Furbish third republic}}
Van Biddinghuizen ruled for five more years, where created more reforms, including cracking down on corruption and discrimination, limiting the power of the upper classes, and creating an early [[Wikipedia:Welfare state|welfare state]].
