[edit] History
A Grand City was here ever since Um, but it was destroyed in 750.
South Pole City was founded by a group of penguins called "The Club" in 1997. The Club was replaced by a city council when the Club started anew in a port that later became Club Penguin. Later, in 2000, the United States of Antartica (USA) was founded, and they chose South Pole City as their capital in the 2000 Capital Elections. Since then, it has become the largest inland city of the USA and the surrounding areas.
In the War of 2002, South Pole City was burnt to the ground. No one was hurt, but everyone's stuff was. South Pole City was re-built since then.
In 2004, the Itinerod Circuit was built to provide faster mail delivery to the city. The Circuit crosses the harsh Trans-Antarctic Mountains and delivers a whopping two million tons of mail every year.
In early 2008, the Kenneth B. Doomplestuemp Expressway was completed, attracting about 120,000 cars per day. It has fourteen lanes (seven on each side) and has a length of 23.8 miles, spanning the entirety of South Pole City.
In mid-2008, the city's GreenCity project begun, with the beautification of parks, rooftop gardens and city streets. The city is planting grass, trees, starting parks and nature walks. The Explorer Nature Trail, at Harbor Park, is 7.6 km long, was completed in 2008 by the South Pole Council. The Council is still continuing it's efforts on the project today.
In early 2009, the South Pole Metro opened it's doors, with the new buses, (called CityLink), which has services to bus stops around the city, and the CityTrain, which is a light rail monorail with services around the city suburbs and downtown area. There is also a subway system, which was refurbished in 2009, after 12 years of service. The subway offers service around the city as well.
In mid-2009, Swiss Ninja's forces came upon in an empty, abandoned sector of South Pole City (formely called Ghetto Greens).The abandoned area was the site of various crime, burgalry and diaster. The area was known for the lowest income per capita in Antarctica for a few years after the War of 2002. Swiss Ninja wanted to restore the disastrous area, the government donated 23 million pebbles for the restoration project, which was completed in late October 2009. It allowed some of his people to live and set up shop in the abandoned sector, renamed Zuidpool. Zuidpool is now flourishing, and is now a major spot for tourism because of all the family-run, customer-friendly businesses.
[edit] Layout
South Pole City is has one part of the city as a fortress and another as a highly urbanized city. Here's an explanation of the workings of the USA's capital.
[edit] Exterior
South Pole City still has the city walls and gates it had when it was a Citadel. The city, you see, is built on a towering hill (currently unamed) in the midst of a snowy plain. The city walls rise up out of the hill's rocky summit, so they are virtually impossible to remove. A highway runs up a small slope dynamited out of the hillside up to the city gates, which are as tall as the city battlements. South Pole City appears as a fortress from the outside, hence its nickname "The Medeivally Modern Metropolis.
Approximately two miles away from South Pole City is South Pole City International Airport, the main airport of South Pole City. Five miles to the north, in the direction of Trans-Antarctica, are the Trans-Antarctic Mountains.
[edit] Interior
South Pole City is a very commercialized city, sporting many stores, houses, museums, places of business, and entertainment.
The city has one main river and lake called the Huttson River and Lake Hutt. They provide the city's port and fishing industries and have many beaches, including Square Beach, the first urban beach on the continent. The lake is home to many species of water animals, and many parks as well. The city's river is a tributary of the Sunshine River of Trans-Antarctica and is created by a combination of glacier meltoff and excess drainage from the Kermillian Channels.
Important buildings include the Capitol, The National Antarctic Institute, The Big Fat Building o' Archives, Eastshield Hope Hospital,University of South Pole City, Bugzy's Casino, the UPM Headquarters, and the Grand Pole Station at the end of the Antarctic Express. The city also houses many monuments, such as the Giant Pen, a pen-shaped bar magnet that hovers in the middle of the city, tracing the surrounding magnetic field.
The largest recreational area in all of the USA; Stalacite Park, is located here. The city is to the south of Inland (well, it's practically south of EVERYTHING) and is located at the Geographic South Pole.
[edit] Boroughs
South Pole City is divided into six boroughs, each of them playing a unique role in constructing the city's culture.
- Metro -- Metro is the financial district and economic hub of South Pole City, containing all the large corporations and trade centers. It also contains Grand Pole Station, the final stop on both the Itinerod and the Antarctic Express.
- The Zinc -- The Zinc division of South Pole City contains every single park in the city, from Stalactite Park to the National Zoo. The borough, being located on mountainous terrain, also houses many glaciers and geologic landmarks.
