Glacier Republic
The Glacier Republic is a micronation created as an advertising awareness campaign created by Greenpeace in Chile on March 5, 2014 in protest over mining corporations building on or near the glacier and causing it damage. According to the activists, loopholes in the laws between the borders of Chile and Argentina and loopholes in regulations regarding the sovereignty of glaciers allowed them to legally create the Republic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News – Chile: Activists 'create nation' to protect glaciers )〕 Chile contains 82% of South America's glaciers, but currently has no laws in place to protect them.
The activists say that once Chile has passed appropriate legislation recognizing and guaranteeing the integrity and protection of its glaciers, "The Glacier Republic and its citizens will return the glaciers to the Chilean State," and the Glacier Republic will cease to exist. Therefore, the real purpose of the Republic is not to create a long-lasting country, but to force the Chilean government to protect its glaciers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Birth of an Ice Nation: Greenpeace declares the Glacier Republic in Chile | Eye On Latin America )〕 Within its first ten days of "independence," more than 40,000 people signed up to become "citizens" in support of the Republic, which has already opened embassies in 40 countries around the world (essentially just those countries where Greenpeace International already have offices).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glacier Republic heats up in Chile | Eye On Latin America )〕
==Opposition==
Those opposing the activists say that they will force the closure of some key mines, harming the economy and losing thousands of jobs in the area.
