There are zero countries in Antarctica -- there is no government there - national, state, provencial, or local.

Many countries claim lands in Antarctica; the claims overlap in some cases and some areas remain unclaimed.

The Antarctic Treaty governs all the earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude, and the treaty is subscribed to by governments representing about 80% of the earth's population.

The Antarctic Treaty was ratified by the final signatory country in 1960. It continues in full force and effect today.
