The Gigantic Frozen Igloo of Studly Penguins is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hiram Fox with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 25.392 billion Studly Penguinians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort McGuire. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Studly Penguinian economy, worth a remarkable 8,035 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 316,474 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, and spies caught in Studly Penguins are never heard from again. Crime is totally unknown. Studly Penguins's national animal is the Super-Hyped Up Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Studly Penguins is ranked 18,566th in the world and 12th in Texas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
