The Reluctant Monarchy of The United Penguin Commonwealth is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gillerne Tingine with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.401 billion Penguins are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Huddle City. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Commonwealthian economy, worth 418 trillion Antarctic Pesos 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 95,197 Antarctic Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, the nation is regarded as a paragon of democracy, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Penguin Commonwealth's national animal is the Antarctic Herring, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The United Penguin Commonwealth is ranked 184,983rd in the world and 561st in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 71.01087121968 days.
