The National Land of UnitedTerra Territories, commonly known as UnitedTerra or the UTR is an active, populated country which is part of the continent Antarctica. It was founded in 2001, by Ninjinian, who leads the country along with the UnitedTerra Parliament. The country was originally known as PreTerra, but then the country collapsed due to its poor structure. UnitedTerra mainly consists of a very large and round piece of land to the lower-right of the United States of Antarctica, including islands around the mainland. The capital is New Club Penguin, which is also the most populated city in the UTR. UnitedTerra is widely popular for their government, music and gaming.

UnitedTerra has a number of states & cities. The states are Carcery, Sub-Terrain & Teedal. Main cities are New Club Penguin, Neo Domino City and Satellite City. The country is also well-known for the first ever chick-ran republic, Scoodlepeep, lead by Baby N., the chick-brother of Ninjinian. The country is expanding rapidly in the amount of states they have to space out living capacities between them.

Background

The UnitedTerra was made in 2001, for independence from the USA & to rebuild the collapsed PreTerra, which was the old land. Ninjinian brought in penguins to help rebuild the collapsed country in early 2001, and by the end of the year, he had gotten lots of workers and some parts of the country were finished. The place started off with a population of 57 penguins, which lived in small igloos with provided items, which were all temporary.

Then, the UnitedTerra began their first official running city, New Club Penguin by 2002. In 2003, Neo Domino City was made. It wasn't that small, and had stadiums for turbo-racing. Half of the population of New Club Penguin (which was 400 penguins at the time). By 2005, the amount of penguins in the UTR increased massively, with hundreds and thousands of penguins traveling from Club Penguin and other parts of the USA, turning to 190,000 penguins in 2006. In the two years after that, more cities and states were made. Zero Reverse was found as an island off UnitedTerra, near to New Club Penguin. It looked damaged and couldn't be completely rebuilt, so the country now use it as a place to drive turbo-bikes safely and as a war-ground. Throughout the years, Carcery came across and so did Teedal. By 2007 all the states and cities were built.

Language

The official languages of UnitedTerra are English and Terrslan. They can both be spoken and written. English is used all across the country. Terrslan is used mostly in Carcery, TerraMount, Scoodlepeep and New Club Penguin. Terrslan is pronounced as turrzlun and is said swiftly but delicately. Terrslan is known as a very rare language at first. Ninjinian said: "While looking for ruins of PreTerra, I came across loads of boxes which had transcripts of the language. We then re-developed the language a bit, but kept the cookie-name which is "Terrslan". Some elderly penguins remember this language but have forgotten it because English started populating. Now the language is quite rare."

Currency

The official currency for the UTR is Dauroes (DAU:). Dauroes are very valuable, which is why prices of items look cheap, e.g. 5 dauroes, but is actually worth a lot. Converting Terrain Dauroes to another currency is almost impossible, and if someone tries to convert, the machine they are using to convert dauroes will malfunction. When penguins get paid at the end of the month for their paycheck, the minimum anyone can get is DAU: 100, though wealthy jobs such as being a Terrain Spy Union or Penguin Police Troop agent, the least to get for those kind of jobs is DAU: 1,000. The highest paid job is being in the Terrain Spy Union, and can get paid up to DAU: 100,000, possibly even more. The country have more than they need. The national bank of UnitedTerra, the "National Bank of UnitedTerra", is where most of the money is printed, though the other national bank, which is Terraylns also make Dauroes there.

In 2009, the UnitedTerra Parliament decided that it was unfair if dauroes could not be converted into another currency, so they set up a scheme that only converts the amount of dauroes into Club Penguin Coins. 1 dauroe is worth 5 coins, so if someone wanted to trade 2 dauroes, they would receive 10 coins. Each time 5 coins are added from 1 dauroe to 9 dauroes. From 10 dauroes to 19 dauroes, six coins are added each time instead of five. Then when it is 20 dauroes to 29 dauroes, it adds 6 coins from the previous amount of coins they get - the same for 30-39 dauroes, seven coins are added from the previous amount - 40-49 coins, eight coins are added from the previous amount.

• 1 dauroe is 5 coins
• 2 dauroes are 10 coins
• 3 dauroes are 15 coins
• 4 dauroes are 20 coins
• 5 dauroes are 25 coins
• 6 dauroes are 30 coins
• 7 dauroes are 35 coins
• 8 dauroes are 40 coins
• 9 dauroes are 45 coins

---

• 10 dauroes are 51 coins
• 11 dauroes are 57 coins

Because of it's value, the dauree is used in parts of Satellite City and Carcery. It is worth less than a dauroe and is less expensive.

Transportation

Transporting around the UTR is not always that easy. Everyone usually use mobeels, although in Scoodlepeep, they use skee-mobeels. Mobeels is a type of car in UnitedTerra, which many penguins use for long journeys but overall many penguins just like to walk to places. There are also many more ways of transporting around UnitedTerra, depending on how many miles you need to travel. Transporting can usually be easy, but can also not be easy. Wealthy penguins find transporting easy but more penguins living in Satellite City hardly have any ways of transporting.

Mobeels

Mobeels are the type of cars in the UTR. They are electronic, and are a different form of car rather than just a usual one. About 1/3 of everyone in the UTR use them. Like most cars, there are different types of cars, different models & features. They are not entirely used by the population, just portions because there are other ways of transporting rather than just taking a mobeel. By using mobeels, it has a great chance of affecting penguins health, because it is not healthy. This is why less penguins in UnitedTerra use them so that it doesn't affect their health, though some (like the 1/3), but very frequently. Just in case it is an emergency or need to go a very far distance. Mobeels are not considered to be over-used in UnitedTerra. This is because not much other countries, states or cities outside UnitedTerra actually use the terrain cars.

Waddling

Waddling, also known as walking, is the most popular type of transport in the UTR. It is a very good & efficient method of transport in the UTR because it is healthy and prevents Fat. All Chatham Islands Penguin and Magellanic Penguin waddle straight instead of tipping left to right when they waddle. 69% of all penguins int he UnitedTerra use this type of transport, and is a tip in Ninjinian's health videos on PengTube.

Turbo-Bikes

Turbo-bikes (also known as turbo bikes, without the hyphen) is a recent type of transportation that was introduced in 2008. They are a type of scooter, but more advanced. Normal scooters are more popular than turbo-bikes because they are less dangerous. There are two types of scooters - one with a seat and one without. They are known as the Terra-Scooter, and there is only one manufacturer for them. The most popular scooters have two seats and a small boot for small items. The more expensive ones can have two or three seats, and have a re-attachable roof. The average Terra-Scooter goes up to 200 MPH, and the advanced ones go to 300 MPH. There are also smaller versions of Terra-Scooters for chicks in Scoodlepeep.

The standard turbo-bikes usually go up to 250 MPH, and can be used in any parts of UnitedTerra. The limit the standard turbo-bikes are allowed to go up to in small areas is 15 MPH and in bigger areas, 25 MPH. The advanced turbo-bikes are only allowed in Neo Domino City, Satellite City and Zero Reverse. They we first introduced in the game Speed World, and only professionals can ride them internationally. To become a professional you must pass the test and you will be licensed to drive an advanced turbo-bike.

International and Regional Airlines

There is an national airline/flag carrier in the UTR, which is UTA. AirTerra is the secondary flag carrier. Both are the lead airlines and international airlines. NCPAir have plans to become an international airlines but it's unlikely to come into effect until mid 2011-early 2012. TerraExpress is currently the lead regional airline but NCPAir isn't that far. There are two cargo airlines, AirTerra Cargo, which is the largest cargo airline and UTA Cargo. NCPAir have plans for a cargo airline but it may only come into effect in late 2012-early 2013. Many airlines from the USA provide services to airports in the country and to all major cities to the country.

This was how regional airlines were brought to the UTR. They are airlines of the UTR which either fully lease airplanes from USA or other airline companies or use the designated airplanes for regional airlines. They include Kupamacha 220 mo, a self-designed airplane by local UTR citizens. It seats between 70-100 passengers. Three models were released, the Kupamacha 220-100, the Kupamacha 220-200 and the Kupamacha 220-200XF (XF for extra fuel, as it had a larger fuel tank). These airlines could only stop at Ulansnowtar, Fishwow, Polaris, Glassyglow, Pengu Town, Snowville, Club Penguin City/Club Penguin Island (via Aquarius or Newton Town) and South Pole City. Regional airlines flying abroad were supposed to only stop at South Pole City, but due to the flying range of the Kupamacha 220, they need to refuel (with the exception of the Kupamacha 220-200XF, which could actually reach SPC, CP or CPC in one full tank).

There were originally twenty regional airlines (excluding TerraExpress), sixteen of which fell up during the "Kupamacha Crisis of 2010" where Kupamacha went into administration by the FAAA . The lucky six survivors are Miniaire, UTR Mini Airlines, Neo Domino Airways, ChickAir, Sattelite Airways and PressAir who merged into NCPAir. They were lucky because they had a fleet where the majority wasn't Kupamacha or they had a fleet large enough to run.

The Kupamacha company had plans develop the Kupamacha 220 - 200 XFR, the cargo version, Kupamacha 220 - 200 XFC the Kupamacha 220E, extended range and seats and the Kupamacha 225, a 120-seater with 5000 nautical miles. Also, Kupamacha will build the Kupamacha 300, a 200-seater wide-bodied airplane with 6000 nm, with the first variant being named the Kupamacha 300-100 Intercontinetal. It's unlikely that they'll be built since reforming Kupamacha is a tough job for the FAAA and even if they're built it is unlikely that they'll be bought.

Education

Before the "Education Reform Act" was passed, most schools had a fee, meaning that very few penguins could afford school fees. Very special schools called "young schools" were made for the poor. Grammar school education was free but you had to pass a test. Until the concept of Academies, Comprehensive schools, State schools and Independent schools were made, many schools relied on funds from people. It's divided into Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form, and University. The UnitedTerra Parliament pay for most penguins education - but for some types of schools, the families pay.

Primary

State funded

State funded schools are schools funded by the UTR government. The results of how one does varies on the teachers. Unlike Prep Schools, they're completely free. They accept students aged 3-11, and are divided into several years. Sometimes, they're bigger then Prep Schools, however, smaller then Secondary schools. A majority of chicks go to these schools. It is the first stage of every chick's education. Penguins are set into two groups, which are "Ground Stage 1" and "Ground Stage 2". There are year groups, from Year 1 to Year 6, though in the UTR, they are from Terrain 1 and to 6. If someone asks what year group they are in, an example of a conversation is:

"What terrain are you in?"

"I'm in the 2nd terrain."

There are stages under year groups, such as Reception, which is aged 4-5. The UnitedTerra Parliament first thought of having nurseries in every primary school, however it was denied and only some schools have nurseries. Instead, a nursery would be made next to the primary school that it is linked to, and would usually be named by the primary school that was next to the nursery, though not all primary schools have a linked nursery with them.

Many primary schools are small, and only have one large building, maximum of 5 levels. Every primary school has a school office, where they can go for inquiries, first aid and more. Not many primary schools move classrooms for each lesson, which only happens during secondary school and above. Though for lessons like Maths and English, the sixth terrain usually change classrooms.

Prep School

A preparatory school, commonly referred as a prep school, is an independent school preparing chicks up to the age of 11 or 13 for entry into fee-paying secondary independent schools. These are highly uncommon and there are only 6 prep schools in UnitedTerra, and many chicks just go to free state-funded primary schools - but it is thought that prep schools prepare students better for secondary school and their education is much better than state-funded schools. More exams take place in Terrain prep schools but are less complicated that many would think they would be.

Secondary

Independent schools

All penguins in UnitedTerra starting from the seventh terrain go to secondary school, and until the thirteenth terrain. In independent secondary schools, there is a headmaster, a principal, a Head of Lower & Head of Upper. Almost for every lesson in secondary school, the students move classrooms - and usually buildings as well for every lesson they have. There are many differences between primary school and secondary school in UnitedTerra, such as detention is much stricter, penguins have to carry their own books, they get their own organizer to keep track of homework, and get more homework at the same time too. Penguins have to wear formal shoes, unlike in primary school. Many teachers in primary school say to penguins in the sixth terrain, the year before going into secondary school, that things will get harder once they're in secondary school. Independent schools are one of the most popular type of secondary schools.

The graph above shows the number of educated penguins in the country from 2007. At first, it is slightly down, but as the years pass on, throughout 2008 and 2009, the number of educated penguins in UnitedTerra is increasing rapidly. It is mostly being increased because of many penguins going to state-funded primary schools, and the number of penguins going to independent secondary schools.

Currently, there are the minimum of 4 independent schools in every state & city in UnitedTerra. In the most richer states & cities - such as New Club Penguin & Neo Domino City - the number of independent schools are especially high, with the maximum of 19 independent schools in the area. Independent secondary schools are most popular because the government recommend them, and because they are free. Secondary independent schools are for penguins aged 11-17, though it can be from 11-16, depending if the secondary school has a sixth form college or not.

Grammar schools

Grammar schools are not quite popular, as they focus in manners and language rather than the normal lessons chicks would have in independent schools. Slightly sophisticated and posh families send their chicks to grammar schools for a couple of years. They learn to speak more formally, and learn more complex phrases. Some grammar schools learn Terrslan, the rare Terrain official language.

Comprehensive schools

Comprehensive schools are another popular type of secondary school to academies and independent. A comprehensive school is a state school that does not select its intake on the basis of academic achievement or aptitude. A comprehensive school offers a full range of subjects across the academic spectrum. They are much stricter than other types of secondary schools, especially in uniform and behaviour. They are free aswell, which is another reason why they are popular. There is atleast 2 comprehensive schools in every city and state.

Academies

Academies are the second most populated in the list below secondary schools - however there are a limited amount of academies in the country. There are only academies in the popular parts of the UTR. Hundreds of penguins have to travel a long distance to get to academies, and they are especially hard to get in. Academies are aimed at a specific topic, such as Science, Technology, Sport, etc. Some academies in UnitedTerra have to be paid for, but some are free. Penguins have honorary membership at academies. Some academies can be public, and sometimes even private, depending if the academy is highly rated. There are more Science, Music & Sports academies in UnitedTerra than any other country, due to the country's popularity in those subjects. Penguins that go to academies get high marks of their end-of-year exams and tests, and do especially well. Academies are supposed to teach students strictly - but well.

Sixth Form

State funded and Academies

State-funded sixth form is almost the same as state-funded secondary school. Many secondary schools have a sixth form, which students have to apply to get in during the eleventh Terrain. Sixth form is also known as college - this only applies to sixth forms that are not attached to a secondary school. During students time in sixth form (which is usually 2 years) they take certain courses in different subjects, such as I.T, Technology, English, etc. These colleges are free and the UnitedTerra Parliament pay for them. Penguins can always choose if they want to go to sixth form, but many do to get a better education and a good job - and some are just encouraged by their parents to go.

Independent

These types of colleges/sixth forms have little association with the UnitedTerra Parliament, and are usually very rich colleges with little amount of students studying at each one (maximum 500). Because they are rich colleges, they only accept highly-sophisticated students. Anyone that misbehaves only get 7 chances to redeem themselves if they break any of the rules (which are much stricter aswell). Independent colleges are not free and are usually quite expensive, which is the reason why only rich families send their students to Independent colleges. In 2010, Ninjinian lowered the price of Independent colleges from 2,000 dauroes to 950 dauroes.

University

National

A national university is created and/or run by the government. There are only 6 of these type of universities in UnitedTerra. To those who go to these types of universities and don't live near them, would take them quite a while to reach there. But to go to these universities are absolutely free. Many of the UnitedTerra Parliament were thinking of atleast having a small entry fee for national universities, but Ninjinian decided otherwise.

Regional

These universities have a small entry fee for them, as there are only one or two of these in every city/state - so places are very limited. Regional universities are thought to have the best education - and many parents try to get their penguins into these universities, despite the fact that there is an entry fee. They allow up to 600-700 students. Regional universities focus on intelligence more than behaviour, and are not that strict with behaviour. Their exam results are almost always the best in the country. UnitedTerra are very famous when it comes to regional universities - and have set records for Best Exam Results in Antarctica.

Local

Local universities are funded by the UnitedTerra Parliament, and are the most popular university in terms of locations (atleast 10 in each city/state). Their education isn't as exquisite as national and regional universities, but it's good enough to teach penguins everything they need to know. Many more students are placed in every local university (atleast 600 students). The Parliament spend more money on local universities because they want them to be at their best standards - because usually they are not. Usually the middle-classed families send their penguins to local universities. Richer families believe that national/regional universities are much, much better.

Leisure

There are many different activities that penguins in the UTR do. Many of these are traditional, and no other places do them or use them, because they belong to the UTR, and generally discovered them. The most popular leisure activities are the Sports & Gaming. Others are known in the South-West of the UnitedTerra. The most popular leisure activities are boxing, skate-boarding & turbo-racing, which can all be done in Neo Domino City.

Sport

The most popular sport in UnitedTerra is Boxing. It was founded by Ninjinian while he was teaching Baby N. to protect himself from useless bullies. The sport soon crossed all over UnitedTerra. Into Satellite City, Neo Domino City & Scoodlepeep. It has turned out to be the most popular sport in UnitedTerra, and over 200 penguins play it. Boxing matches appear on television, usually live from Neo Domino City, broadcasting across the entire UTR & USA. One version of Boxing is Kickboxing. Kickboxing is the same as Boxing but they're different types of Kickboxing, such as TerraBoxing or Full Contact Karate. In some variants, there are belts. Other sports are played there too. Such as "Football" (to Antarctican's, "Soccer"), which play in the Zero Reverse ground & Neo Domino City. Basketball has a stadium in the capital, New Club Penguin. "Cricket" is populated around Scoodlepeep, and "Rugby" is across the entire UTR. But those are not traditional sports of UnitedTerra, just common ones. Many (mostly in other countries) do not accept "skateboarding" or "terraboarding" as a sport, but in the UTR they do. Skateboarding is one traditional sport (the others are "Boxing", "Turbo-racing" & "Dirtbiking") and is very popular. Mostly for teenagers, who enjoy terrainboarding a lot. Terrainboarding is not the same as skateboarding, just a bit similar. It is a different type of skateboarding. Penguins use another board, which is curved and fully designed, and race on rough grounds. Mainly use lots of freestyle which are not the average skateboarding tricks anyone sees.

The third most traditional sport is "Dirtbiking". Which is a different form of "Turbo-racing". It consists of a different bike riding on dirt or hard mud. They are extremely grippy & have a different type of tyre. They are thin but not normal bike thin. Turbo-bikes usually have fat tyres, which are completely different. It is a multi-player sport, and penguins can race on dirt around a built-track. The only stadiums known for Dirtbiking are 4 small courses joined into 1 stadium in Neo Domino City (and possibly Razorbeak Island). Some courses are extremely dangerous, and there is only 1 known professional track which is to exist. Mainly young adults Dirtbike, but no less than teenagers.

In 2007, the UnitedTerra was awarded a team in the Major Hockey League. The team was suprisingly awarded to Scoodlepeep, and was named the Scoodlepeep Roarers. The team started play in October 2009.

Music

Music is the most popular activity circling UnitedTerra. According to a public survey, 8/10 of UnitedTerra are interested in music. Because of this, UTR is very famous for their music - especially Terrain grime, rap and R&B. Dozens of international artists originated from UnitedTerra, such as DJ Crow, Nebulent and Omar Grest - including producers such as DJ Crab and TrillBron. Terrain music dates back to the later 90s, and Terrain grime as early as 2001 - which differs from USA music. It is also known as "underground music". Many grime artists are unsigned and haven't charted much, but are still very well known. This is expressed through WaddleTube comments - on which artists post their videos. Other Antarctican music have always connected with Terrain music, such as Cadence and Nebulent. Many artists migrated from UnitedTerra to Club Penguin to pursue a music career (more specifically the Night Club).

Gaming

Games is the next most popular leisure activity in the UTR. There are many game arcades in Neo Domino City, Scoodlepeep & New Club Penguin. There are many games to play, such as the imported Card-Jitsu X and video games. The most popular video game in the UnitedTerra is Speed World, an award-winning Turbo-Bike game. Arcades are the mains source of playing games, but they are also available on the computer (but only computer games, video games are only available in arcades & on the Vii & Snowtendo DS.

Television

Television, better well known as TV, is the most laziest activity to do in UTR. Luckily, most penguins in the UTR are always staying healthy, and the average time one igloo has their TV set on is 3 hours. The Governance had difficulty wiring the island because of its renaming and realigning, and as such charged higher rates than in other nations. Instead, they had to build high frequency broadcasting stations which broadcast TV programs over the ocean to the island. This extremely expensive rate (in comparison to elsewhere), caused penguins to not watch nearly as much TV. They still view a bit, but only for special & occasional entertainment, such as when the news is on and award shows, if that. Thanks to this, UnitedTerra has the lowest number of fat penguins anywhere.

The source to all the voltage for television's are located in "Tops Tower Telenacle" (of Tops Tower) and "Zero Reverse Telenacle", found in Zero Reverse, which hold all the electricity in the country together and powers everything, especially televisions, which take up a lot of electricity next to using the computer. "Tech-Time" is held every Thursday.

Internet services

Like every Antarctic nation, all internet bandwidth originates from the sole ISP master, the Governance. Various companies loan and use these in different packages. Unlike the television, Internet charges are very low here because there were already phone lines in UnitedTerra. Penguins can go online for relatively little in comparison to neighboring islands. Connection is not a problem in New Club Penguin, because it has Tops Tower, where all the electricity comes from (via the Governance) and is sent to almost every igloo. But cities & states that do not have much electricity sources, such as Satellite City, there are sometimes minor errors in the connection. This might be due to various reasons. Not much websites that are for outside countries can be used in UnitedTerra (such as Antarctican websites), but can get redirected from the Antarctican URL to the Terrain URL. But websites like Beakbook, are half-Antarctican & half-terrain, so have a joint URL so it can be accessed from any country (in the penguin borders) so that penguins do not have to worry about buying redirect-URLs. Like any other internet services, UnitedTerra do not have their own original internet features. It is the same for other countries as well. But some things are different, just not much.

Government

The government that UnitedTerra use are the UnitedTerra Parliament. It consists of many different leaders of states, countries, cities & official places in UnitedTerra. The government is known to be "democratic", but not fully. Some decisions are made by the government themselves. The president is Ninjinian, but does not have the highest rank in the parliament due to other business. The highest ranked in the government are Mayor Crepsley, Administrator Kai & "Judge Konquer", then it is Ninjinian. The main parliament consists of 9 members, but the other government, which is part of the UnitedTerra Parliament, but not included in the 9, are the important figures of other countries which have to be in the parliament to discuss "issues" between themselves. The government is run perfectly, and the citizens of UnitedTerra are satisfied with the parliament. Because they listen to them, and create great ideas themselves.

The government was at first, very small, but as more cities & states were made, the government expanded into the 9 that are in the parliament now. The ones that are high standards of cities & states in the UTR also grew. Usually every week, the parliament hold meetings in their headquarters, Tops Tower, and discuss the country. Sometimes only the 9 are invited to the meetings, but sometimes everyone is invited if the matters are not that secret.

Flag, Motto & Anthem

The flag's background is separated into four different sections - each section represents a certain topic that relates to UnitedTerra. The bandana is the National Symbol of the UTR, and relates to President Ninjinian. "Bring it on!" is the country motto, and then UTR is put at the bottom of the flag in the country's National Colour, orange. Two splashes of brush strokes are visible in the top-left corner and in the bottom-right corner to represent messiness. The uncommon but longer motto is "Bring on the Fun and Glory!", though it was moved on to the second motto. Instead, the new motto is "Bring it on!", which by a ballot, many preferred better. The shorter motto is used more frequently. The shorter motto is used on the country flag.

The country's national anthem is "March Through the Fog" which is a self-pride anthem which also gives out a point to never give up and keep on trying. The main lyric in the anthem is "As we march through the fog". The song's instrumental focuses on a very slow, flute-inspired rhythm with many loud drum sound effects. The royal anthem is "Our Nation" which Ninjinian's own older brother, DJ Crow, produced. It is known to be a very hip-hop beat, which is not common in royal anthems. Ninjinian said that he wanted something very original for the royal anthem and that hip hop, which is the most popular sort of music in the country, would be the best choice. Usually DJ Crow raps the lyrics to "Our Nation", which he and Ninjinian wrote themselves. DJ Crow usually performs the anthem but sometimes just the instrumental goes on in the background, or a choir do their best to "sing the rap".
