Antarctica is good for an aspiring overlord. Pros and cons: +Isolated +Very small population, a few hundred in summer, under 100 in winter +What few people are there are nerdy scientists who will either flee or serve you +Rich in natural resources -Transportation is difficult -What resources exist are hard to access -Small population means you will have to import subjects, rather than have them defect -It's really cold. Greenland is an alternative, with a slighly warmer temperature and a few thousand more people. Other locations to consider setting up in: Madagascar Mauritius Sao Tome If you're truly ambitious, why not shoot for Australia?

This is a good igloo if you want to be sort of inside but still basically exposed to the elements.

You'll still need a few large diesel systems for "black starts" and any emergencies.

If it was -10F with wind and I was in the open I'd take that over being exposed. It just needs that little entrance tunnel that other igloos have.

Yeah it looks like a decent wind break unless the wind is doing the exact wrong thing. With the tunnel it's better even in still air I bet.
