The Gigantic Frozen Igloo of Studly Penguins is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hiram Fox with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.54 billion Studly Penguinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Studly Penguinian economy, worth a remarkable 8,542 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 321,885 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Super-Hyped Up Penguin hunting institutions. 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 294,530th in the world and 97th in Texas for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,150.16 Standard Monetary Units.
