The GEQPL of PenguinPies is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by GEQP Lady of TSP with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, lack of airports, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.206 billion PenguinPiesians 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, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PenguinPies City. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The all-consuming PenguinPiesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,507 trillion Oreos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Arms 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 165,671 Oreos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, and the musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PenguinPies's national animal is the Hippo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is PIE.

PenguinPies is ranked 16,706^th in the world and 377^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 87.75 on the Human Development Index.
