The Penguin Hivemind of Promethius Prime is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pingu with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 24.13 billion surprisingly intelligent penguins, 22.959 billion of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Igloonia. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Promethius Primean economy, worth a remarkable 8,992 trillion fish a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,494 fish, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surprisingly intelligent penguins are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, the digital money revolution has cashed out, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and kindergartners are taught to loathe poor trigger discipline and citrus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Promethius Prime's national animal is the fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is largely based on fish.

Promethius Prime is ranked 200,506^th in the world and 13^th in Selene for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 75.61 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
