The North pole is not a sovereign state. Its just a chunk of ice that belongs to nobody. Everyone pretty much agrees it belongs to no one, because its basically a useless chunk of ice that when it melts will become undoubtedly international waters anyways.

What state is this? who is their leader, santa claus? I say let Canada have it, Russia is already the biggest country on earth (10% of earth's landmass). He who controles the poles controls a lot of ice.
