The Aggaut Dependency (Alemannic: Aggautische Abhängigkeit, Natsilingmiutut: Aggautnunaqqatigiit nuna) is a sector of Frigidarum claimed by the Crowned Republic of Mascylla as one of its six overseas territories, of which it is by far the largest by area. It comprises the region south of 60°S latitude and between longitudes 80°E and 90°E, forming a wedge shape that extends to the South Pole, while not overlapping with the surrounding claims of Crylante and Aleia. Both of which enclose the territory. Its geography is dominated by the ice-covered Aggaut Range, stretching across the name-giving peninsula, various smaller glaciers along fiords and heavily erodated coastlines, and more flat ice planes in the King Lukas Land near the South Pole.
The territory's history dates back to the first people settling in the Aggaut Peninsula atleast 500 years ago, the native Inuit people. Building a collection of small villages and settlements along the coast, they maintained their population and culture isolated from other groups due to uninhabitable territories around the peninsula. First contact was established by Mascylla in 1889 near today Allavvik. It was claimed by the country and the dependency subsequently grew in size and population. Today it operates a number of research and survey stations, both international and inland, maintains Inuit villages and culture, and serves as a general territory currently claimed by Mascylla. The Frigidarum Treaty however prohibits Mascylla to add the Aggaut Dependency to their territory and remains de facto disputed.
