Club Penguin Fanon Wiki:United States Improvement Project

For the introduction to this, read this page.

The USIP, as of now, is a project to improve the USA article, and eventually may include other related articles. To do this, some of the wiki's most talented writers are going to re-write the USA page... here. Any and all discussion about how the page should be written, or other things, should be brought up here.

Please do not edit this article unless you have been given clearance by a director of the project. Also, please only edit the section you are working on, and save your work every few minutes if you're writing something long. This should help us prevent any edit conflicts on the page. -CK

Ancient Times

The first penguins, Sigurd and Bacchus, two high penguins from the ancient land of Valnor, inhabited Antarctica sometime prior to Year Zero (1000 BC). Through Sigurd and Bacchus' descendants, most modern species of penguins were born. Eventually, in Year Zero, a large number of High Penguins arrived in Antarctica, around Arda and other areas of modern-day Freezeland. Over the course of a hundred years, the High Penguins and the descendants of Sigurd and Bacchus became rivals, fighting over land and power. The descended Khanz Penguins in modern-day Pengolia also decided to go to war. Around 900 BC, the High Penguins beat the other penguin species and took control of Antarctica, creating the dictator-led Land of Lord Guin.

After five hundred years or so of this High Penguin dictatorship (HPs are known for their incredibly long lifespans), constant High Penguin, Viking, and Khanz fighting raids and fighting in the country, with the help of Jedi, caused the collapse of the society. A new society, the Babbelonian Empire, led by "normal" penguin species, rose from the ashes, enslaving the High Penguins and taking all land that hadn't already been taken by Asgard, the Khanz, and Snowprus.

After four centuries of fighting between the Babbelonians and the Snowprusians, the later won, but only a few years passed before a new power emerged in 102 BC- the Penguin Empire. Originating in what is now South Pole City, they developed the language of Latin, and within twenty years overtook most of the Land of Asgard and the Snowprusian territory. Vikings from Asgard were forced to the Antarctic Peninsula where they formed The Peninsulan Slav'ens, some High Penguins (those that weren't enslaved) formed clans in North Freezeland, and the Khanz remained in their almost inhospitable land for generations. Unlike the empires of the past, the Penguin Empire also conquered foreign lands, including islands in the Ninja Archipelago such as modern day Snowprus, Liguria, Castilla, Francterre, Lisboagal and half of Puffle'and. There was peace in the empire for a long period of time until the Vikings, High Penguins (with the help of the Jedi), Khanz and Snowprusians brought it to and end in 450 AD with the desolation of Smaug Penguin City.

Over a few decades, chaos ensued with the fall of the Penguin Empire. The Peninsula Slav'ens was rebuilt as Damelaw, by the nephew of the Slav'ens' last king. The Snowprusian Generals on Antarctica betrayed Bacchus and formed the Frozantium Empire, and the Khanz still flourished, while skirmishes among them were still very frequent. The rest of the continent was made up of High Penguin clans, who were adopting feudalism, building castles and taking up other medieval methods, due to more advanced High Penguins immigrating from Valnor. Things went on like this for almost three hundred years, until the formation of the High Penguin Confederacy in 742.

High Penguin Confederacy (742-1912)

The HPC in 742 AD. Within a year, Pengolia would be the only other nation on the continent.

In 742 AD, the two main factions of High Penguins finally unified, after the Battle of Unnumbered Tears ended, with the defeat of Malcur and his forces. Finwe made the Confederate Act on December 6, 742, which formed the HPC, and Kuruk became its first King. Within a year's time, Damelaw and the Frozantium Empire would both become a part of the HPC, leaving only Pengolia until its own fall to the HPC in 764.

Until 1000 AD or so, not much changed. Constant conflict with the Ninja Archipelago ensued, until Nightmare infected all of the HPC's rivers with the X-Virus in 1000. She marched to Ard Mhacha with an army of X-Antibodies demanding control of the HPC, but was defeated by Marcus Kwiksilver and a strange traveler. After that, the HPC and the Ninja Archipelago entered a period of peace. The "colonization age" started in 1492, and started a rivalry among Ninja Archipelago nations and the HPC, with everyone trying to find and claim new islands, inhabited by natives or uninhabited. The Feudal System was very strong until the 1500s, having castles everywhere, as well as all normal penguins as "serfs" under High Penguins nobles (Lords and Dukes). By the 1500s most new settlements were full of "free citizens", though High Penguins were still treated better, and a feudal system was still used in the grand scheme of things. Modern-day Liguria is said to have brought an end to feudalism, by instead promoting art and culture. Democracy started to become popular in some places in the 1600s, causing the HPC to get a parliament, consisting of one High Penguin from each Province.

Khanzem War

See also: Khanzem, Republic of Poleland

In 1900, Arvedui became the the King of the High Penguin Confederacy. Over the years as King, he made sure High Penguin propaganda was everywhere, conveying that High Penguins were the "best" penguin species. Over the course of the first decade of the 1900s, average penguins everywhere got fed up with the High Penguins and their propaganda, sparking protests and independence movements. One of these such movements was started in Pengolia by a young Khanz pastry chef named Whoot Smackler Whoot, whose movement was based on the average penguin being superior to the "Most High Noob-Faces" (High Penguins). Considered a weak leader, Arvedui rapidly lost control of the Confederacy after 1910, as more protests and movements sprung up everywhere, and in March 1913 King Arvedui was forced to recognize the independence of the Republic of Poleland.

Shortly after Poleland became independent, riots appeared everywhere calling for independence, with many in Pengolia. King Arvedui went to Pengolia to speak to the crowds of High Penguins (and disgruntled Khanz), and was couped by Smackler Whoot and his followers in an event known as "The Penguin's Want", where Smackler Whoot also seized the Crown of the HPC for himself. After The Penguin's Want, Smackler Whoot took on the title of fU|-|r3Rzz! and changed the HPC into Naughtzee Khanzem's Third Reich (though there were no First or Second Reich), called Khanzem for short. Antarctica became split between Khanzem, which took up most of the continent, the Republic of Poleland, and the Grand Ol' Land which comprised of modern day Freezeland and the Antarctic Peninsula (the actual Peninsula, not the whole modern-day state). The Grand Ol' Land was what remained of the HPC and those that remained loyal to it. Two HPs were crowned as Co-Kings (so that they couldn't be couped again), Willman Tabernaclemountain and Harold TrueGuy. Instead of waging war on Khanzem, they chose to instead stay at peace with their significantly hurt nation and ignore Smackler Whoot, who they said was "just a spastic little loudmouth with poor taste in facial hair".

Smackler Whoot started spreading propaganda of his own in Khanzem, convincing "Lower" or average penguins everywhere to help "PWN those Most High Noob-Faces." Khanzem's military (collectively known as the Naughtzee) was built by Smackler Whoot, with the largest forces being the In-Pastry Infantry and Fluffenwaffle (blimp air force). His entire military was pastry-based. Meanwhile, High Penguins from all over were rounded up and sent to Orange Juice Concentration Camps, where they were forced to make OJ from concentrate for the Naughtzees. Japaland, one of the most powerful nations in the Asiapelago chose to join Khanzem as an ally to help them conquer Antarctica, by taking over the Asiapelago. The nations in the Ninja Archipelago were still unsure of which side to support.

Government and Politics

States and territories

As of 2016, the United States of Antarctica is made up of seven states, a federal district, and has direct control over numerous territories and Uncharted Places, not to mention the Free Republics. The states are divided into counties, and further into cities and towns. Territories may have the same divisions, depending on their size. The Polar District is a federal district which houses the nation's Capital, South Pole City.

The residents of the states and the federal district may vote at elections to elect any federal officials, such as the President. All of the lands under direct and partial (in the case of Free Republics) control of the USA are governed by the South Pole Council. Each state and Free Republic, as well as some of the country's largest cities are represented in the SPC by a delegate (usually a locally elected one at that).

States

States are granted statehood after their delegations ratify the Constitution.

State	Population	Date of Statehood	Notes
Eastshield	150,000,000	2001
Antarctic Peninsula	75,000,000	2001
Trans-Antarctica	60,000,000	2001
Sub-Antarctic Islands	30,000,000	2001
West Pengolia	3,000,000	2007	Joined as Pengolia, before East Pengolia seceded.
The Happyface State	40,000,000	Dec. 22, 2008
Weddell	2,500,000	Jan. 2009	Split from the Sub-Antarctic Islands.

Territories

Most of the direct territories of the USA surprisingly get less representation in the country than Free Republics and even "uncharted lands", not being able to vote in Presidential elections nor having representatives in the SPC. However, there have been propositions to amend the constitution to allow the territories said rights. The Polar District on the other hand, is a federal district that can vote in presidential elections, and has limited representation in the SPC, with South Pole City being represented by the Eastshield representative.

Territory	Type	Acquired	Population	Notes
Hontana	Territory	2013	326,000	Located in the Yowien Sea
Peachia	Territory	2000	746,000
Polar District	Federal district	2005	24,000,000	Houses the nation's Capital of South Pole City and a few other cities.
Space Colony 1	Colony	2013	725	USA's first Lunar Colony

Uncharted Places

The "Uncharted Places" are various locations around the USA that are considered to be "uninhabitable" and/or "ungovernable", due to their terrain or scary creatures said to inhabit them such as ghosts, monsters and hackers. They are grouped as a single territory (the "Uncharted State") and are represented with a seat in the South Pole Council.

90-150 Ice Shelf	Trans-Antarctica	Infested with Skua Gangsters; Haunted	Also includes 90-150 Island
Ban Island	150km off the coast of Eastshield	Full of escaped criminals from The Hot Snow and penguins who have been Banned forever

Economy

Currency

Since 2010, the official currency of the USA has been the Fish (F). Most Fish coins are minted in the city of Inland, with special coins being minted near Shiverpool. The former national currency, pebbles (actual pebbles), became hyperinflated and devalued in 2010, one pebble now only being worth 1/20 of a Fish.

While the national currency is the Fish, states are also allowed to have their own currencies for in-state use, and a few of them do. The Happyface State mints "Smiley Money" (Smoney), and West Pengolia uses blue cubes that are called "Khans" (K) (about 1/100 of a Fish). The port city of Club Penguin also mints its own Coins, which are used widespread across the Sub-Antarctic Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, where it is an accepted currency, not to mention it is in use among other members of the CP Gold Coin Alliance. Club Penguin Coins are also valued at the same amount as Fish for simplicity reasons.

Most Free Republics use Fish or Coins as their primary currency, or have their own currency on-par with those of the US when possible.
