The Impending Doom of Zombie Penguins is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lone Survivor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.95 billion Penguins live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Abandoned Zoo. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie Penguinsian economy, worth a remarkable 8,312 trillion Brains a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 490,390 Brains, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,573,710 per year while the poor average 4,659, a ratio of 981 to 1.

The might of the entire Zombie Penguinsian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, the nation has declared war on all passing comets, a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, and bleach is the nation's most common pesticide. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zombie Penguins's national animal is the Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aaaahhhh.

Zombie Penguins is ranked 294,330th in the world and 70th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Nicest Citizens, with 0.04 average smiles per day.
