The Grand Monarchy of Puffin Islands is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Hunter the First with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.564 billion Puffin Islanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Port. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puffin Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,448 trillion Puffels a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 125,237 Puffels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, casino tax breaks are even bigger than their jackpots, and endangered species face obesity instead of extinction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puffin Islands's national animal is the Tufted Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Puffin Islands is ranked 115,088^th in the world and 209^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,794.37 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
