The Colony of Penguindon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.62 billion Penguindonians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Penguindonian economy, worth 155 trillion ice cubes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,239 ice cubes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Penguindon's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Penguindon is ranked 78,846^th in the world and 181^st in A Taco Paradise for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 370.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
