The Free Flowing Individuals of Pinguthazar is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Supremely Snookered Sort of Chap with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.95 billion Pinguinis 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 prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Pinguville. The average income tax rate is 58.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Pinguinist economy, worth 453 trillion Feathers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,748 Feathers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, most barbers are also surgeons, you have to be a billionaire to qualify for welfare, and foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Pinguinist Moonshine". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinguthazar's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Holy Shiitism.

Pinguthazar is ranked 62,762^nd in the world and 1,246^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,448.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
