The Free Flowing Individuals of Pinguthazar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Supremely Snookered Sort of Chap with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.586 billion Pinguinis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Pinguville. The average income tax rate is 60.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pinguinist economy, worth 200 trillion Feathers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,424 Feathers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, and the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinguthazar's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Holy Shiitism.

Pinguthazar is ranked 14,437th in the world and 844th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 104 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
