The Antarctic Administration [AA] consists of a set of nations of the southern hemisphere, tasked with administering the Antarctic Continent. Nations can become part of the Antarctic Administration if they fulfill the two conditions:

• The nation must have major territory in the southern hemisphere.
• The nation must not be part of the Arctic Administration.

Antarctica Claim

The AA will assign administrative responsibility by consensus and claim. Nations may claim certain territories of Antarctica and be given administrative power over it.

The Vertical Principle

The Vertical Principle provides the basis for claiming rights. It provides a set territory for each nation to which it has the right to claim. Each member nation of the AA gains the rights of the Vertical Principle.

From the territory of a nation, a straight line is drawn directly towards the south pole. If the line isn’t blocked by any other landmasses (other than Antarctica), the nation gains the right to claim that slice of Antarctica. These lines may be drawn from any point of the nation’s territory, provided it lies on the southern hemisphere.

A nation may grant of its own claim rights to any other nation of the AA.

Collective Administration

Any unclaimed Antarctic territory falls under the Collective Administration of the AA, which decides how to manage it.

Further Claiming

Besides the from the Vertical Principle, the AA may grant or change AA-nations’ claims by collective consensus.
