The Gigantic Frozen Igloo of Studly Penguins is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hiram Fox with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 24.776 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, outspoken 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 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Studly Penguinian economy, worth a remarkable 7,637 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 308,250 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, and the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel. 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 308,791st in the world and 133rd in Texas for Most Avoided, scoring 0.36 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
