What is Club Penguin?
It is a virtual society that with penguins, I would say it is state capitalist but than there is non-capitalist parts to it.

Is that the one in Four Lions? Where the lead character is trying to make friends with his fellow terrorist friend?
Anyway, for an advanced state-capitalist economy look at Habbo Hotel - we used to play it at school when we were younger, it had an advanced market system and trade system. I wonder what would happen if it became under communal ownership?

Ok...this requires some explanation ...lol.
What I understand is that Club Penguin is a virtual community. But what does it do? Whats its purpose?

It is play games mainly. However, it has a state-run newspaper, state-run pizza place, state-run free housing.
That may sound kinda socialist but there is this membership that you can buy(not with CP Bucks, real ones) that gives you lots of cools stuff. And there is the admins.

Club Penguin - waggle around and meet new friends.
I'm going to check this out. I love penguins :)
EDIT: Okay, never mind. This thing needs your parents e-mail address. I'm probably too old.

I think it's a feudal oligarchy. That, or anarcho-capitalism.

Hah, from Wikipedia:
A criticism expressed by commentators is that the game encourages consumerism and allows players to cheat. While Club Penguin does not require members to purchase in-game products with real-life money (instead relying on a set monthly fee), players are encouraged to earn coins within the game with which to buy virtual products. In addition, the "competitive culture" that this can create has led to concerns about cheating, as children look for "shortcuts" to improve their standing, and, it is suggested, this may influence their real-world behavior.
Y'all better watch out!
If it is like Neo-Pets I take it the means of production is obscured.
Besides now we have Minecraft now so such virtual communities are pointless as with Minecraft you can make massive builds while you can't even build anything in virtual communities like Neo-Pets.

I'd actually tolerate the horrible graphics if there was a leftist server on Minecraft lol But what I'd love to see is a CoD game where Communism isn't branded as evil or corrupt

Minecraft graphics are not horrible, it is functional.

State capitalism, methinks.
What type of government is Runescape? I say this because I used to be the leader of the Runescape communist party.

Also, someone make a commie server. I already tried this and failed because my router is reactionary. =] I volunteer to make a huge hammer and sickle out of red and yellow wool on the spawn point.

Club Penguin is Theocratic-Corporatist
Strong central gov't: Silences and bans for the slightest offenses
Cursing or deviating from their moral code brings a swift ban/mute
Ads everywhere
