The Scientific Utopia of Republic of Penguinian Astronautia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President John H Glenn with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.193 billion Republic of Penguinian Astronautians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trantor. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of Penguinian Astronautian economy, worth a remarkable 3,535 trillion Unified Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 218,353 Unified Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of President John H Glenn, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is totally unknown. Republic of Penguinian Astronautia's national animal is the Bottlenose Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Scientology.

Republic of Penguinian Astronautia is ranked 3,260th in the world and 150th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
