The Penguin Republic of Lowlandian States is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Penguin Emperor with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 33.342 billion Lowlandian Statesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antarctopolis. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lowlandian Statesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,877 trillion krills a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,290 krills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, a shocking number of government bills get lost in committee, and the treehouse in Lantern Fish Park is the tallest building in Lowlandian States. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lowlandian States's national animal is the Lantern Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Penguin Worship.
Lowlandian States is ranked 328,653rd in the world and 33rd in Antarctica for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -20.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
