The Free penguins of Spheniscidae islands is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Penx II with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 5.666 billion Penguinians 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 juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penguin City. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Spheniscidaean economy, worth 448 trillion Fish a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,124 Fish, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, the comic book series 'President Penx II and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Fish mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Spheniscidae islands's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Spheniscidae islands is ranked 16,131^st in the world and 3^rd in Antarctic for Nicest Citizens, with 25.23 average smiles per day.
