Puffle Car

Puffle Car, or commonly abbreviated to PC is a car company that manufactures cars designed specifically for a Puffle. All cars are either electric or solar powered. Puffle Car and its subsidies hold a monopoly over puffle-sized automobiles throughout Antarctica. The headquarters for Puffle Car is in Yank, Puffle'and.

History
For a long time, Puffish automobile transportation was very primitive. Most puffles got around under their own power, by specially-designed bicycles, or by carriage. In 2009, when Swiss Ninja seized power and became king of Puffle'and, he decided that is new realm would need to modernize, especially the transportation sector. Swiss Ninja created a car company that would create cars small enough for puffles to drive in, and had the controls that a puffle could use. It sold very well in Puffle'and, due to the fact that almost all Puffish residents are in fact puffles. The new brand of cars became popular across Antarctica, but many countries boycotted the company because of Swiss Ninja being the owner. To circumvent this, Puffle Car created separate subsidies which got around the international boycott, and so Puffle Car's automobiles slowly began to leak into the international market. Nowadays, Puffle Car is in almost all of Antarctica's countries, and is immensely popular among puffles everywhere.

Engineering and Design
Puffle Car's cars all run on the same engineering basis. They are all designed to be puffle-sized. However, they do not drive like a normal car would. PC cars are driven by the puffle leaning forward or backward in their seat, to make the car go forwards or backwards, respectively. To steer, they lean left and right. Braking happens when the puffle presses a giant red button on the dashboard, where the steering wheel would be in a normal car. The cars from PC's main branch (in Puffle'and) are designed to be driven on the left side of the road; most of the subsidies' cars are designed to be driven on the right side of the road.

All of PC's cars are either electric or solar-powered. The original electric models work on an electric motor which is plugged into the power grid to provide its power. The newer solar cars power themselves using a battery bank which stores the solar energy. Solar cars are slower and smaller than their electric counterparts.

Models
Puffle Cars are commonly abbreviated "PC" An "S" signifies that the car is solar powered. All cars come in White, Black, Blue, Red, Gray, Yellow, Purple and Green. Many of Puffle Cars' cars look exactly like cars designed for penguins, aside from the fact that these are much smaller.

Around Antarctica
Although Puffle Car is a Puffish brand and was designed for those in Puffle'and, its subsidiaries have become immensely popular across Antarctica. In each country, Puffle Car's cars are received differently and are used to different extents.


 * UK Flag 2.png Puffle'and - Puffle Car has an absolute monopoly over the Puffish market, and almost all adult puffles in Puffle'and own a PC automobile. The streets and highways in Puffle'and are designed specially for the use of these small cars.
 * USA flag.PNG United States of Antarctica - The USA has the second largest number of PC cars, but the situation in the USA is precarious. Due to the USA's draconian laws governing automobiles, only a few models of the Puffle Car are allowed in the country.
 * Flag of Ninja Archipelago Union.png Ninja Archipelago - Puffle Car has yet to really catch on in many AU countries that are not ruled by Swiss Ninja, due to the fact that it is owned by Swiss. Many AU countries forbid any of Puffle Car's subsidies from entering their markets either.
 * Yowien Empire flag.png Old Yow Kingdom - Puffle Car was very popular in Yow before the country fell in 2013. Ever since Yow's collapse, all of PC's cars have been distributed about the four occupation zones, not including the Castillan zone.
 * ShopsIslandFlag2013.png Shops Island - Puffle Car is catching on in Shops Island. In cities with large puffle populations, and therefore large numbers of PC cars, bike lanes and sidewalks have been widened to allow for Puffle Car traffic.
