Club Penguin Island

Club Penguin Island or simply Club Penguin (CP) or CP Isle is a major port city in the Sub-Antarctic Islands. It is a popular city that makes its economy off commerce.

History
The island was at first named "Penguin Island", with no one except the natives who lived there for a very long time. It was temporarily the capital of the The Kingdom of Club Penguin. After the Kingdom's fall, many stayed on the island, but had left sooner or later. The island was recolonized when Antarctica had just started to form in 2000.

Club Penguin only struck to fame when an organisation called "the Club" left South Pole City and started anew in this island in late 2001. They found an island with lengthy beaches with their tasty clams and fishes, great forests with lots of lumber, and scenic mountains with their freshwater streams. The Club and the native ninjas later built a community together and both provided hospitality to sailors who stopped by, storing food in a clubhouse that eventually became the Coffee Shop.

When the island, by this time known as "Penguin Chat 3", grew to fame, its inhabitants agreed that it was time for a new name. It was decided that in 2003 the name would be "Club Penguin", in remembrance of "the Club" that first started it. Club Penguin currently has over 100,000 residents, and is very popular, as it was one of the USA's first established cities.



Involvement
Club Penguin is possibly the most famous Sub-Antarctic Island in existence. It has been featured in numerous TV shows, movies, books, and other media. It is the birthplace of many famous penguins, and is the capital of the Sub-Antarctic Islands. The island is located in the top of the Sub-Antarctic Islands, which is visible on the map of the United States of Antarctica - the red dot. There are many leisure places to go to for penguins fun. Many can go swimming in the Cove or Underground Pool Cave. There is also Sled Racing, which is located at the second-highest mountain, called the Ski Hill. There are always new places being built in Club Penguin. The latest is the Fire Dojo, which is an extension of the Dojo (see Fire Sensei and Diamond Falls Re-Awakening for more information). The main food available on the island is mostly Pizza & fish, but also candy & other necessary foods - especially water. Two popular restaurants in Club Penguin are the Coffee Shop and Pizza Parlour. Unlike Snowbucks or Pizza7, these stores have refused to sell-out or give in, and are highly prosperous. The Pizza Parlour is owned by "Mitch the Parlour Owner", also just known as the "Pizza Parlour Owner". The Coffee Shop's owner, who actually witnessed Herbert one time, is always proud on how he refuses to sell "mass-produced sludge" (like that of Snowbucks and instead makes the finest quality coffee "delivered daily" (and painfully) at peak "brewing conditions". He also serves delicious hot chocolate and Croissants. The island's entertainment comprises of movies, games, or plays at the Stage, which opened in 2007.
