The Kingdom of Samba Penguin is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 767 million Samba Penguinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Samba Penguinian economy, worth 48.5 trillion pingus a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 63,285 pingus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown. Samba Penguin's national animal is the dancing penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Samba Penguin is ranked 114,388^th in the world and 4^th in Damastra for Most Developed, scoring 59.08 on the Human Development Index.
