The Principatus of The Ninja Penguin is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.571 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Social Welfare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'penguindogs' dominate wildlife preserves, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ninja Penguin's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the ninja.

The Ninja Penguin is ranked 2nd in the region and 836th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
