Charter nation
Charter nations are the de facto governors of the Antarctic Oasis region. Their main job is sitting around and doing nothing, though they do at times brag about being charter nations. The position is mainly a prestige thing. Charter nations do consult on regional business matters, though the region rarely conducts any buisiness; they do carry extra votes in regional elections, though the region never votes on anything. It is the ultimate in cushy jobs.
History
Bucky Cat, Dragons Rider and the Great White Knight were founder nations along with Omigodtheykilledkenny puppets The Valdesian Frontier and No TV and No Beer, but the first three ceased to exist, and the latter two were deemed unnecessary members and replaced with three nations who had established themselves as loyal regional natives.
