The Wasteland Stations are a series of well organized city states that were set up by the Extra Kingdom Icy Wasteland Beyond The Sun's Reach Research Organization (EKIWBSRRO), basically this world's Antarctic bases, but entire towns. They have a combined 18k people. There are currently 13 Wasteland Stations, the farthest out one is at the Essetia Line on a plateau, beyond the Swagxolotl Moonslice.
The Wasteland Stations have a zero tolerance policy for military actions in the Frozen Wastes and will petition at the PCA for harsh actions against any state that does.
