Antarctica - Seeing as it has no official Gvnt..
Discussion
What would be the consequence of someone going there and staking a claim to it as their own and renaming it... ooh lets say 'Paranoia Land'
ignoring all the practicalities of living there and actually trying to establish a functioning economy ( sim city wooo! ) would the world sit by and let this happen, or would Paranoia Land's new ruler be facing an international coalition strike force to remove the invader from power?

Antarctica is the only continent with no nations. While seven nations (not including the United States) have made claims to Antarctica, no single nation controls any part of the continent. The Antarctic Treaty governs the actions of people in Antarctica. The links below are to more information on the treaty. 
Love the way they felt the need to clarify that.SystemParanoia said:

hmm.. maybe something with tin foil in the design 
if Marie Byod land is taken over first seeing as nobody has any claims there... the others can be invaded later once the army of abominable snow men are rallied together
also.. if that new oilfield off the coast of the Falklands hits paydirt.. once an oil refinery is built your new empire will have cash, and fuel, and everything it needs to take over its new snowy world!

as for the "Antarctic treaty" it only applies to existing nations, not new ones
