Antarctic Lands Organization (ALO)

The Antarctic Lands Organization (ALO) groups together the Antarctic Principalities and Territories included in the claim of Antarcticland to the United Nations in 2007. The Principalities were originated as a project and experiment of political and social provocation.

Antarcticland

Antarcticland is the oldest territorial dominion of the Antactic Continent, founded in 1821 by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen

Canisteo

The Principality of Canisteo, occupying the 1,500 km2 peninsula of the same name, completely covered by ice on the Eights Coast in Ellsworth Land

King

The Principality of King is a peninsula of 200 km2 situated opposite New Malta. It has a Governor and is administered by the Regents.

New Malta

The Principality of Thurston occupies the eponymous island of 15,700 km2. It is the third largest island in Antarctica, close the northwest of Ellsworth Land

West Antarctic

West Antarctic is a a Principality located in the Antarctic Peninsula, which includes Alexander Ist Island and the adjacent islands

Bir Tawil

Bir Tawil Principality, a 2,060-square-kilometer a claimed “terra nullius” between Egypt and Sudan, lies in the Nubian Desert and is the 7th territory member of the Antarctic Land Organization (ALO). Its extreme temperatures and scarce resources deter permanent settlement, and its unique status arose from colonial borders, as, for the neighboring Countries, claiming Bir Tawil would mean forfeiting rights to the more valuable Hala’ib Triangle. With around 3,000 Ababda and Bishari nomads, the Principality, led by H.H. Giovanni Caporaso Gottlieb, established Marianne Station 1 as a sustainable capital, promoting agriculture, water condensation, and an economy supported by its official cryptocurrency, AAL.
