Antarctic Union is a regional meganation in Antarctica. It is comprised of 13 nations (Antarctica, Amery, Getz, Kemp, severnaya, East Antarctica, North Alaska, Brunt Ice Shelf, AL, Vinson, troll, Enderby Land, South Pole) and was formed on 27 February 2023.

For some time before the creation of the Antarctic Union, there were some unserious discussions about the 2 biggest Antarctic nations, Antarctica and Antarctic Lands, unifying. For some time, it didn't go any further, however on 23 February 2023, Subensky and Gris kept joking about unification in chat, saying that unification would be a great option. Gris didn't enjoy being in Spain that much, and Subensky has planned creating his own nation for many months already. Both sides were very keen to the idea, which caused them to talk for hours.

History

The Antarctic Union was founded on 27th of February, 2023 with Antarctic Lands under Gris_ and Antarctica (also created on the same day) under Subensky as the founding members. On the same day the Antarctic Union and the Valkyrie Union created the now defunct Antarctic Alliance. On 5th March 2023, the citizens of the AU unanimously agreed to the change of constitution to give power to the people in the form of the Assembly. On the same day, East Antarctica was formed by Giant_Spliv_1 with help from Gris_ in the form of 1700g, and has joined the AU. On 6th March 2023, East Antarctica left the AU thereby taking the rightful 1700g of the AU. On the same day,the AU repelled the first hunter attack on its territory. On 7th March 2023, the AU peacefully left the defunct Antarctic Alliance after several disagreements with the defunct Valkyrie Union. On 26th March 2023, Ary11 left Antarctica to create the nation of Amery with the help of Gris_, Subensky, DS_Devil and LasevIX. Amery then joined the Antarctic Union. On the same day, the AU joined the Based Nation Defence Coalition (BNDC) after the Valkyrie Union and East Antarctica were kicked. The AU and BNDC and with help from Ronne initiated sanctions against the Antarctic Alliance consisting of the Valkyrie Union and East Antarctica. On 27th March 2023, Several scandals by the Valkyrie Union on their discord lead to most of EMC to discredit and declare war on them. On 28th March 2023, the Valkyrie Union was dissolved due to the scandals. This left the AU as the only superpower in Antarctica. On 29th March 2023, the AU declared war against Himyar in support of BNDC. This was declared over when the leadership of Himyar left EMC. On 31th March 2023, Getz under VexEnderman joined the Antarctic Union. On 3rd April 2023, troll was created by LasevIX with help from Gris_ and DS_Devil.

War with East Antarctica

On 5th April 2023, the Assembly voted to declare war on East Antarctica for scamming the AU of 1700g. BNDC and other allies join the war in favour of the AU and on the 17th May 2023, The War between the AU and East Antarctica has ended. Giant_Spliv_1 claimed responsibility and has rejoined the AU.
