The Impending Doom of Zombie Penguins is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lone Survivor with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.308 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 minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. 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 5,656 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 425,024 Brains, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,999,384 per year while the poor average 20,299, a ratio of 147 to 1.

The government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. 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 28^th in the world and 2^nd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 64,544.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
