Originally posted by jeisenmMy understanding is that Antarctica is divided up into regions, or territories which belong to several different countries. ..or, at least "claimed" by several different countries.
according to rhp antartica is a country with a flag. but according to wikipedia
it does not belong to anyone.. i notice several people here have designated it as their country. can anyone enlighten me? is this all a joke?
To name a few of these are countries: Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Norway, among others. There are also several research stations that belong to particular countries.
There's my bit of geography!
Originally posted by reinfeldthere IS a UN flag, and no the EU flag would not be appropriate for antarctica any more than the US flag. antarctica has several unofficial flags, one of which is used on rhp to represent antarctica.
there is no un flag but it seems that an eu flag would be as appropraite as an antartic flag
Originally posted by wormwoodActually my question should have been is there a UN flag available on RHP, which is not the case.

I am quite well aware that a UN flag does exist.

Antarctica is not a national state as such.
I think that most people having the Antarctica flag up fall into three groups:
a) people actually living there (probably few)
b) people making a joke
c) people who want to express that they are not very much bound to any nation.
d.have or still work there
