Finismund, or Finis Mundi Terra, is a micronation created in 2008 claiming several Antarctic territories, grouped in Autonomous Communities.

History
Byrda was discovered in 1603 by Gabriel of Castille, a Spanish explorer. Máximus was discovered on December 14, 1911, the same day that Norwegian captain Roald Amundsen first reached the South Pole. On November 8, 2008, on land that had not been claimed by any nation, Finismund became free, symbolic of the way of Petrus Máximus's governance of the Antarctic Empire.
On December 19 2008, Finismund yielded Sipley to Flandrensis, and on January 28 2009, declared war on the II Westártica.
Politics
Finismund is a constitutional monarchy under the constitution of 2008. The government is open to any positive relations with other nations or micronations via email at: finismund@hotmail.com
Territorial Organization
Finismund is divided in three autonomous communities:
- Byrda's Autonomous Community, in the land of Marie Byrd
- Máximus's Autonomous Community, to the south of the land of Queen Maud
- Bir Tawil Autonomous Community, in Africa
Geography
Byrda possesses a peculiar relief in the coastal zone, where, in places, the peak of Sipel is 4181 meters high. This makes is the highest in the entire Antarctic continent. In the low zone, there are the mounts of the Queen Maud, forming an intracontinental plain or orógen. The experts in geology dispute the possibility of this zone being a fragment of land connected to Antarctica due to tectonic plates.The evidence for this lies in a series of mountain ranges in the southern limits. Máximus is a simple plain on the Antarctic Plateau.
Economy
As for the economy, the Great Kingdom Finismundes, approved by his Supreme Excellence and the Highest Majesty Petrus Maximus I, established a free market, since it protects the Constitution of the micronation. This way, also stated by the Constitution, the Empire Finismundes is the form of currency. At present, a project exists for the creation of an economic international league of micronations and minor nations, called the Monetary Fund Intermicronational.
Demography
Finismund is a land practically depopulated due to, among other factors, the time and the climate. The nearest populations are the base of Amusend-Scott of the United States to the south of Finismund.
Climate
The climate is polar. This is to say that the temperatures are always below 0 Degrees Centigrade, with scant rainfall in the form of snow, an iciness and strong winds. The temperature is in the habit of being more severe in the zones near to the mountains, and the snowfalls diminish in the plain due to the fact that the saws near to the coast act as barrier before nubosidades. The temperature reaches these astronomic levels due to the fact that, since it is a zone near to the south pole, the inclinations of the solar graters are slightly perpendicular.
Flora and Fauna
The life, due to the extremity of the polar climate, in terms of animal life, is restricted to populations of Weddell's Seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) or Tawny Seals, Emperor Penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) and plaktonic organisms, such as Krill (Euphausia superba) and other species. As for fauna, it is restricted to mosses and the Antarctic Carnation, the Colobanthus Quitensis, Finismund's national flower.
