The United Socialist States of Penguin Commune is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Chancelor with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.566 billion Penguin Communeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matienzo. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Penguin Communean economy, worth 160 trillion pengs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,547 pengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Penguin Commune's national animal is the penguine, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is None.

Penguin Commune is ranked 183,992^nd in the world and 453^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 881.87 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
