Sub-Antarctica is a state of the United States of Antarctica. It's capital and largest city is the world famous city of Club Penguin, which attracts millions of tourists each year. The state was greatly expanded in population after the Colonial Antarctica War, and is still expanding.

History

Before the Colonial Antarctica War, the islands were extremely sparsely populated, with only about 6,000,000 penguins living in the island. However, after the war, penguins, looking for a new life, spread all over the continent and started the settle the area. The growth was evident, because by 2005, the population of Sub-Antarctica was at 14,000,000, more than doubling the pre-war population.

That same year, when Club Penguin became a port city, other port towns, used to pass goods from the mainland to Club Penguin, sprouted all over the Antarctic coast. Altogether, the ports form the basis of the USA's economy: trading goods. Goods are transferred from the mainland states to these islands, and eventually around the continent, to other free republics or states. So many goods are transferred each year that the USA is quite rich. Around 30,000,000 penguins live in these islands, with 20,000,000 living in the Club Penguin Metropolitan Area, which consists of King George's Island, and Club Penguin Island. The rest of these islands are sparsely populated due to the isolation of the islands.

Government

The government of Sub-Antarctica is the same as that of all the other states, and like the USA's government itself. The is the executive branch, which is the governor and his or her cabinet, the Legislature which makes the laws, and the Supreme Court, which overhears cases for the entire state. The Supreme Court building is huge, as it has to hear cases from all over Sub-Antarctica, being the only court in the whole state. The capital of the state is Club Penguin.

Economy

Sub-Antarctica's economy is almost completely based on trading, and there are many port cities and towns, with the largest in Club Penguin. Another part of the economy is tourism, as 25,000,000 penguins from all over Antarctica to visit Club Penguin every year. A small part of the economy is farming, since the soil in the islands are not very good for farming.

Poverty

Despite having a stable and rich economy, according to The South Pole Times, around 50% of Sub-Antarctic live in poverty, and about 20% of that live in extreme poverty. Around 60% of these penguins live in the slums of East Club Penguin, and 95% of these poor penguins are nonmembers, denied basic penguin rights by EBUL. Nonmember discrimination is evident in Club Penguin, as there are member only rooms, schools, and restaurants. Of course, the Sub-Antarctican government hides this and denies this. If you drive on Highway 1 northbound in Club Penguin, look on your right side. There is a tall wall. On the other side is East Club Penguin.
