The Antarctic Treaty explicitly mentions the following in Article IV § 2: "No acts or activities taking place while the present Treaty is in force shall constitute a basis for asserting, supporting or denying a claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica. No new claim, or enlargement of an existing claim, to territorial sovereignty shall be asserted while the present Treaty is in force".

Please, I beg you, don't discuss something you have literally no idea about. The idiocy is getting a tad bit unbearable.
It's where the cool kids sign up.
Not sure who that was aimed at, so I'm not even gonna say anything yetAurani wrote:

It's really subtle, so I'll highlight it for you: (no irony intended here)olivia272 wrote:

As we all know, the Antarctic Treaty was signed in June 23, 1961, and explicitly only covers claims made after it was signed. So yes, there are seven states which maintain territory claims in Antarctica.olivia272 wrote:

Before telling other people to get their shit straight (and implying or explicitly calling them stupid), maybe you guys should get your shit straight first. How about that?

Please let a mod move this to Off-topic, so I can properly discuss it and take a dump on it.

There's a difference between a territory claim and a country. Yes, "Land claims are a legal declaration of desired control over areas of property including bodies of water. " (which is basically the same definition as a county) . But, "The phrase is usually only used with respect to disputed or unresolved land claims." Which is basically what Antarctica is. It's not appropriate to call it a country in this situation. Especially since this treaty expires soon.

I would emphasize the "kind of", which was supposed to indicate what you just said, but there's no arguing that this is moar completeRenevant wrote:

Im guessing the thread went from [Lets say someone signed up in Antarctica] to the Antarctica Treaty O-o?Hehe
So what are the qualifications for The World Cup? I know some countries have first place players that are around 2500-3000pp. They certainly wont be able to participate in The World Cup.
edit: What would it take for Antarctica to make into the World Cup

guys can we stop with the dark humor?
Well, I'm pretty sure no one would live in Antarctica and play osu anytime soon. So basically there's no chance at all for Antarctica to participate in the world cup.

Thats where you are wrong. In the ever-thawing tip of Antarctica, there's a small little island with a village of igloos that is inhabited by 50 penguins, 25 seals, 12.5 orcas and a human. It is formally called us Setsunation, ruled by none other than - ISetsunaI -.bigfeh wrote:

Well besides the nonsense i say sometimes, i did ask a legitimate question, it was answered, and now im asking for more. I also wanted to know what qualifications it takes to get into the World Cup (i mean, scientists can do anything right?)Aurani wrote:

Unsure, but you still haven't "properly discussed" anything or "taken a dump" on it as you said you wouldAurani wrote:

Well, for starters - you need people. Actual alive humans being able to tap their dic- I mean keys faster than your average Joe.
Sadly, that place has none, so there is no point in asking it. :p

Are you just choosing to be blind or did you not notice the "MOVE IT INTO OFF-TOPIC" part? I'm not going to annoy some random mod with too much power by starting a rather insulting conversation with someone in GD.

Well there are people/scientist there all over the world studying there for a fixed time (varies from 6 months - several years). Kind of like the space thingy where all dem astronauts go on a field trip :3Aurani wrote:

I just realized what i said.
I have a portugese friend and when i showed him that Maffalda song he cringed.
Then he said Brazilians speak the same language as them.
Then i realized the language was portugese.
if Portugese people speak the same language as Brazilians then that makes Brazilians speak Portugese.
Oh god im a retard, it took me a paragraph proof to realize i said something really idiotic X_X
