The Federation of The Penguin Confederacy is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander Berg with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.98 billion Penguins 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, 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 The Glacial Capital. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Penguin Confederacy economy, worth a remarkable 2,726 trillion Fish Scale Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 181,997 Fish Scale Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', home renovation projects take decades to complete, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Penguin Confederacy's national animal is the Orange Trout, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
