The Free Land of Kommissar Penguin is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 37.669 billion Kommissar Penguinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Kommissar Penguinian economy, worth 798 trillion fish 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. 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 21,198 fish, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kommissar Penguin's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kommissar Penguin is ranked 240th in the world and 1st in FISH for Most Stationary, with 6,826.70396424 days.
