The Impending Doom of Zombie Penguins is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lone Survivor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 11.808 billion Zombies enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Abandoned Zoo. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie Penguinsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,860 trillion Brains a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 411,633 Brains, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,862,605 per year while the poor average 20,615, a ratio of 138 to 1.

Murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, the government's official stance on scientific inquiry is 'there's no question so big that it can't be ignored', celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zombie Penguins's national animal is the Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aaaahhhh.

Zombie Penguins is ranked 18,096^th in the world and 14^th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
