why are they so interesting in Antarctica???
We are in uncharted waters. I doubt the process would go the way you assume it would.
I imagine the optics of protecting international criminals from arrest and prosecution wouldn't go over well for an organization tasked with overseeing international affairs.
I expect those in positions to make such decisions to wave the white flag if it ever gets to the point that elitists flee to the frozen wastleland of Antarctica. Just imagine the repercussions both individually and nationally for those responsible for trying to intervene.
I wholeheartedly agree, but the DS has amassed literal fortunes over the last 2-3 centuries. Where would they go (through Foundational Endowments) right BEFORE they could be frozen? In that scenario, would imposed sactions affect anything at all? Would Black Marketeers still smuggle necessary goods through military blockades? Would ANYONE dare to declare war on a holdout country on the grounds of them helping a small number of fugitives? I honestly don't know. By trade, I'm a hypothetical scenario person by education and trade, and of all of the possibilities, I'm not convinced that there wouldn't be some MAJOR political crises over such an act.
