The Gigantic Frozen Igloo of Studly Penguins is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Hiram Fox with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 7.964 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort McGuire. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and abortions are routinely performed in Studly Penguins's hospitals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Studly Penguins's national animal is the Super-Hyped Up Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Krone.

Studly Penguins is ranked 74th in Texas and 78,811th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.177 Stalins.
