Well they don't share the continent with any other nation, and it's a safe bet that the vast majority of actual ports and landing sites are probably going to be under Atlas control. Any sites that aren't under Atlas control will belong to private independents, and since bribes and living in the tundra are expensive, you can bet they'll charge a premium, even more so since Ironwood wants a total lock-down.
