But he seems to be destined to remain "little": he can't grow, he can't become stronger because he is the ice-cream cake of the other countries.

Yeah...although, I mean, if you think about it--it's not inconceivable that Antarctica might one day become a small, self-governing state. Energy efficiency technology is making it possible for more and more people to comfortably live down there, without causing illegal disturbances to the environment. If they manage to find resources to make full-time settlement economically worthwhile, Antarctica might be able to support a small population, trading whatever it's got for food and fuel. And Lord knows the people at the various bases would quickly start to feel like they had more in common with each other than they did the people who lived in their native countries. I can see them banding together and asking for a measure of autonomy and self-governance.

You can become a real nation someday, Antarctica! I believe in you! ♥♥♥

oh Alfred! now I know why James Bond isn't american... -___-
