The Gigantic Frozen Igloo of Studly Penguins is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hiram Fox with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 25.6 billion Studly Penguinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Studly Penguinian economy, worth a remarkable 8,191 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 319,992 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The climate agreement has actually increased the volume of hot air in the atmosphere, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the entire entry for Studly Penguins in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment. 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 287,569th in the world and 91st in Texas for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,839.91 Standard Monetary Units.
