The Republic of Flying pengiun is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 855 million Flying pengiunians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The Flying pengiunian economy, worth 43.9 trillion tala a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,353 tala, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, the government has been criticized for giving away Flying pengiun's territory to anyone who claims it, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flying pengiun's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Flying pengiun is ranked 222,888^th in the world and 137^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
