The GEQPL of PenguinPies is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Delegate GEQP Lady of TSP with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.21 billion PenguinPiesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PenguinPies City. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The thriving PenguinPiesian economy, worth a remarkable 3,264 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 Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 146,980 Oreos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There's a hole in the heart of every PenguinPiesian city, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. 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 48,539^th in the world and 1,058^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 151.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
