The Delivery Service of Penguin Logistics is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.529 billion Penguin Logisticsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lungmen. The average income tax rate is 27.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Penguin Logisticsian economy, worth 50.8 trillion LMDS 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 33,215 LMDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Penguin Logistics's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Penguin Logistics's national animal is the Aptenodytes Forsteri, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Penguin Logistics is ranked 195,381^st in the world and 11^th in Penguin Logistics for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
