Antarctic Sovereign

The Antarctic Sovereign (short for "Antarctic Sovereign State"), often abbreviated to "ANS", is a country which supports the colonization of West Antarctica in the late 21st century & generally serves as a nation to populate the North & South Poles along with Antarctica and a backup for climate change and/or other natural disasters. It has highly been influenced by the sucessors of Denmark, Iceland & other Nordic countries because of the respons. The country has nearly 45 million residents, meaning that it would have been the 31st most populous country today following Argentina (44 million people) & preceeding Spain (46 million people).

History
The need for founding a country occupying the poles came around July 2071, when a small dust storm happened in a few remote artifical islands just above the South Pole along with several other incidents, the average global summer temperature was 45˚C (113˚F), and hope of colder summer weather was downbeat. Most people could still manage living in the tropics, valleys, forests, creeks & woodlands, but some needed a colder shelter. The only place for such a settlement at the time would be the North & South poles.

Thus, a mix of inhabitants of various countries came to settle on Antarctica and they kept their original legal residency info at roughly August 2071. The most quick-witted citizens were those from tropic reigons where the average temperature was at least 87˚C (189˚F); it was so hot that any ice placed quickly sublimated into steam. These migrants used to be controlled by their native countries, but later, they developed to form a small nation not-yet accepted by the UN (almost like Taiwan) in 2073.

This new almost-country didn't even have their own currency unit, but later, such things were developed. After this, the nation became the country was approved by the United Nations in in 2075 and 228 of the 284 countries of the time said it was a country. The Antarctic Sovereign has never had and will not likely have any invasions or wars from or with other countries due to its wide diversity of ethnic and religious groups.

Religious Groups
Since people from many different countries live in the ANS, many religions have ended up in this domain. To be more precise, here's a donut chart:
