Marie Byrd Colony is a colonial possession of the Principality consisting of all territory of Antarctica otherwise unclaimed by any other country at time of founding. It is one of two protest claims made by the Pillow Fortress, the other being the Olympus Mons Colony, chosen specifically because they are illegitimate under so-called "international law", the same law which holds the Pillow Fortress to be illegitimate as well. A relinquishing of these territories may be possible in exchange for wider recognition of the Principality by the international community.
