History

A result of Chile's wish of an Antartic colony, which started in 1953 as the Dominion of Graham and Palmer. In 1990 when Chilean dictator Pinochet was overthown, he then fled to the Antartic dominion and then started a coup d'état, and afterwards became Emperor of Graham. He proceeded to put several of his closest allies and some family members as monarchs leading smaller monarchies united under him. The smaller monarchies are as follows:

• • The Pricipality of Ciudad en El Hielo
  • The Empire of Graham
  • The Kingdom of Palmer

There are also other non-monarchy local governments in the empire.

• • The Commonwealth of King Geoge Island
  • The Southern Terrritories
  • Peter I Island Military Base

In 2005, a CIA led coup overthrew the monarchs, however per later referendum, their titles were returned.

Origin of Name

The Empire of Graham and Palmer gets its name from its two largest local governments, the Empire of Graham and the Kingdom of Palmer.
