If we go on the logic that we are on a flat plane that means that Antarctica circles everything making it a massive area. In order to control that amount of border it would take an immense number of people that many people working at a task would have some stop or leave or flee it taking with them proof of it. Also the wealthy hiding this land would have to not want to utilize it or they would need workers and again some would get back.

If it is area past the frozen areas of the arctic it would be even colder with more ice and snow, why would the wealthy want that? Well unless there is another sun heating the area out there making it habitable, but if we are on a flat plane we would see a heat source like a second son that was that close (planet scope wise).

If we said the plane earth is on was a circle in the area we live and said it was miles as a radius 8,595 miles the distance from the north pole to the south it would have a surface area of (I'm just using 3.14 for pi to simplify things here) 3.14*8595^2=231,964,439 square miles. That would also be a boarder of 54,000 miles to patrol. Now if we move that radius to 12200 giving the wealthy an extra 3605 miles past the pole it would move the total area to 467,357,600 meaning they are hiding an area of land equal to what we know of. but again that is going to be frozen wastes.

Unless there is a second sun out there somewhere but that would only help a limited amount of area as if it was doing a pattern like ours around our north pole it would take so long that the night cycle would be much longer then day resulting in a much lower average temperature, even if it moved faster that would also shorten the day cycle so day to night would still be long nights so low temps. Why would the wealthy want that land enough to keep it secret from us? The smart would want to kick us out to there and keep this for themselves.

So the wealthy are not developing that land to use to make them more wealthy?
