The Allied States of Pinguioris is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Jacob John Henry Lamais with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.378 billion Pinguiorisians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appaloosa City. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pinguiorisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,077 trillion Sapphire Horseshoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 200,401 Sapphire Horseshoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

President Jacob John Henry Lamais's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, the climate agreement has actually increased the volume of hot air in the atmosphere, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinguioris's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity and Equestrianism.

Pinguioris is ranked 241,343^rd in the world and 9,242^nd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -554.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
