The The Queen Protectorate of Penguin2Pies is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Princess Lady with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.752 billion Penguin2Piesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Double P. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Penguin2Piesian economy, worth 500 trillion Pies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 39,279 Pies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
There's never enough space in space, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Penguin2Pies's national animal is the Pie, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is PIE.
Penguin2Pies is ranked 257,117th in the world and 4,437th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 16.39163534268 days.
