The future of the Principality of Canisteo is very close to Prince Romolo’s heart. The Principality of Canisteo is one of the members of the Antarctic Lands Organization (ALO). The Principality occupies the peninsula of the same name and is located on the Eights coast of Ellsworth Land. It has an area of 1,500 square kilometers that is completely covered by ice. It is currently under the administration of H.A. Romolo I, Prince of Canisteo.
Like all ALO member states, this Principality remains politically and militarily neutral. Its territory is protected by decree and its lands are not for sale. It is also restricted to economic activities.
Despite this, His Highness evaluates and approves scientific research and construction development proposals in extreme climatic conditions in order to colonize the principality. The prince seeks to increase relations between the universities of architecture and engineering and his administration.
