The Kingdom of PENGUINISTAN is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lewis Hamilton with a fair hand, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.7 billion PENGUINISTANians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SONAS. The average income tax rate is 20.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming PENGUINISTANian economy, worth 163 trillion Penguin craps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,893 Penguin craps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. PENGUINISTAN's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Being Hot.
PENGUINISTAN is ranked 42,763rd in the world and 1st in Bolloxology for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 168.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
