Reports (3)
- Newer law has been passed "pee"
- Other "let the non binary penguins live their best life"
- Status is not correct "All of the indications of current status ("N/A Antarctica has no...") are misleading -- by the same token one could say that no continent has a government (because no continent is ruled by a single authority).
The reader should be referred to each of the seven territories in Antarctica claimed by a sovereign country.
Only Queen Maud Land has not been claim, so that of it one may truly say that it has no government.
Likewise if you have an entry for the area within the Arctic Circle: the territory of eight sovereign countries is within the Arctic Circle.
All eight have laws applying there (and in six same-gender marriage is lawful and available; in one it is lawful but not yet available; and only in one is it unlawful).
