Best Answer

Antarctica is not a single country which can be divided into states and territories. Indeed, no country even "owns" Antarctica. There are seven countries which have territorial claims to Antarctica, but none of them "own" it.

Territory is officially claimed by Australia, New Zealand, France, Norway, Argentina, Chile and the United Kingdom.

Brazil has made an unofficial claim, and Nazi Germany has an historic claim.

Antarctica is not divided into countries: there is no nation state there. The Antarctic Treaty preserves the continent as a 'continent for science'.
