The country with the most permanent -- year 'round operation -- research stations is Argentina, with six. An additional summer station is also supported by the Argentine Antarctic Institute.
The Russian Antarctic Expedition supports seven stations, only four of which are permanent, and three of which operate in the summer. One of these is a joint-support venture with Belarus.
Each research station bases its time clocks in the country that supports the station. There is no standard time in Antarctica.
The telephone country code for Australian research bases in Antarctica is +672. Numbers in the Mawson base begin with +672 117, with a further three digits.

Byrd established bases on Antarctica and they were all named Little America.
Your question may assume that there are countries established on the Antarctic continent -- which is an incorrect assumption. Research stations are established in Antarctica by countries interested in learning more about the health of planet earth. Under the Antarctic Treaty, Antarctica belongs to no one, and thus, essentially belongs to us all. All research performed on the continent is shared among all the nations that signed the Treaty.
No. All bases in the Antarctic are research stations. There is no military activity allowed, except in support of science.
There is no permanent population, however, there are some research bases and such.
If you mean base is a generic name for a research station, they are established on crevasse-free zones or near the coasts. Buildings are constructed there the same way they are constructed in the country supporting the station. Wood, metal and glass are all useful components for buildings in Antarctica.
Many people have explored Antarctica and lots of the major countries have research and meteorological bases there.
If you include the islands surrounding Antarctica, there are 70 seasonal and year-round research stations.
Antarctica does not have a country code of its own. Several countries operate research bases in Antarctica, with a variety of different numbers.For example:Australian bases use +672.New Zealand's Scott Base uses +64 2 409.U.S. bases generally use satellite telephones in codes depending on the satellite provider.(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.).
