EDITOR'S NOTE: This page only covers the original Club Penguin Army Era [2006-2017]. Armies not from this period should be added to Club Penguin Private Server Armies.

Founded in early 2006, the Club Penguin Army community (sometimes shortened to just 'CPA') was a source of fun on the popular online game Club Penguin. Club Penguin Armies started out with Clans and then onto unified Armies. The community came to an end on 21st March 2017, after the closure Club Penguin. However, the community was quickly succeeded by Club Penguin Private Server Armies, which has survived into the present day.

History[]

Origins (2005-2007)[]

Club Penguin Armies were formed in 2006, initially existing as different factions typically denoted by colour like, most prominently, the Reds and the Blues. These groups are contemporarily referred to as the 'Color Clans,' and the battles/wars fought between them are collectively viewed as World War I. By late 2006, the community would evolve into 'Clans,' groups using fully-themed outfits instead of just colours. Some of CPA's longest-running armies were established during this period, including the Army of Club Penguin, the Underground Mafias Army, and the Romans. Warfare from this era is referred to as World War II.

It was from early 2007 that groups started to develop a more organized approach to operations, starting to operate on sites like Miniclip and Wordpress to communicate news, event schedules and other announcements whilst typically using Xat for day-to-day communication and to run events. It was these groups that most closely resemble 'armies' as we know them today.

The community itself was divided into two sections:

  1. The Armies
  2. The Media

Apart from the armies, the community operated under leagues and media websites. One of the major media outlet in the community was the Club Penguin Army Central, which started its operation in 2009. While the major armies operated under the CP Army Central, two another organisations, namely Small Medium Army Press and the Small Medium Army Central consolidated the performance of Small-Medium armies.

Every media website delivered various types of content:

  • News: major news sites will report the newest and most important events that happen in CP armies. These may be battle reports, war news, leadership changes and much more.
  • Philosophy: major news sites will also write posts about various random topics that relate to CP armies. They are often big, wide-covering concepts, like leadership, ranks, methods of warfare and others.
  • Opinion: although these news sites are usually objective and unbiased (eg. they will not let their opinion influence their reporting), every once in a while they write editorials that give their opinion on a current issue.
  • Top tens: these form the most popular posts in any news site. Released once a week, top tens rank armies from 1 to 10 according to their size, power and influence.
