Commonwealth of Antarctic Circle States (A.C.S. or ACS), commonly known as Antarctica, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Frigo continent, the territory of Keeling Islands and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 14,300,000 square kilometres (5,500,000 sq mi), A.C.S. is the largest country by area in Frigo and the world's TBD-largest country. A.C.S. is the coldest, windest, and driest inhabited nation, with the least fertile soils. A.C.S. has the highest average elevation and contains the geographic South Pole. It also holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on Earth, −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). The coastal regions can reach temperatures over 10 °C (50 °F) in summer.
