The Armed Republic of Penguinnica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Marshall with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.099 billion Penguinnicans 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, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penguinada. The average income tax rate is 62.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Penguinnican economy, worth 686 trillion Pebbles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,612 Pebbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, murderers and thieves claim divine inspiration to avoid prosecution, the endangered saltwater humpback Penguin is only seen in captivity programs, and Penguinnican companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Penguinnica's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Penguinnica is ranked 28,777th in the world and 1,641st in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
