Antarctica even has a flag. I saw it once on a "nations of the world" flag chart. It's a bowl with two hands holding it up, with a browinsh-orange background.
It seems to be some kind of commemorative thing. These notes are exchangable for U.S. dollars up until the validity date expressed on each note lapses. Afterwards they'll probably become collectors items and you could probably sell them for much more than their face value. hehe
Apparently, the goal here is to raise funds for Antarctican research. Some of the things scientists are looking in to in Antarctica are global warming, ozone depletion and other enviromental changes Omega's right-wing, oil guzzling role models deny all exsistance of.

Liberia is on the West Coast of Africa, just as you near the bottom of the big western bulge. It was founded by free blacks from the United States prior to the American Civil War.
Two of their major sources of income are their special commemorative editions of coins and stamps, and the fact that they have one of the world's few duty-free ports, so that many shipping companies use Liberian registry to increase their profits.
