The Penguin Federation of Horasta is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Your Holiness The Great Penguin God with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 6.919 billion Penguins enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Pole. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Horastan economy, worth a remarkable 1,232 trillion Fish a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 178,162 Fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science, South Pole spends billions upgrading public transport, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Your Holiness The Great Penguin God's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Horasta's national animal is the Humans, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anthropocentrism.
Horasta is ranked 214,562nd in the world and 25th in Intercontinental for Most Stationary, with 33.16281210912 days.
