A Breif History of Penguenia

The Empire of Penguenia is a technologically advanced interstellar power that, while weilding intimidating economic and military power, prefers to not meddle in interstellar affairs. Despite the "hands-off" policy the government takes, the nation's technological advancement coupled with its fearsome industrial capability have made Penguenia's industries a dominating economic force throughout the Milky-way galaxy and contributes to the almost universally comfortable lifestyles that Penguenians lead.

The nation of Penguenia was founded by an expedition of humans from Earth during the early age of extra-solar exploration, seeking their own piece of the galaxy. After years of strife and hardships following the establishment of the Astral Colony on an Earthlike world the explorers named "Durandal," Penguenia's people were brought together the under the unifying hand of Evangeline Raziel. After her death, her children seized power and established the Empire. In doing so, they solidified the Imperial Line of Succession and awarded "Imperial Family" status to their supporters in the powerful Myers and Luminus settler households.

Since that time, Penguenia has risen to galactic pre-eminence over hundreds of years. This has been attributed to early Imperial policies of forced labor and the series of "state before self" programs institued in the dawning years of the Empire and the rapid technological advancement that grew from those strict doctrines. After gaining a level of galactic superiority through political, economic and military policies, Penguenia's Imperial Families allowed a Senate to be created to handle the day to day governing of the Empire, and loosened their social and political regulations to repay the populace’s diligence in creating their own paradise.

Today, no Penguenian citizen lives in poverty. The populace seems obsessed with scholarly studies, leading to a high level of intelligence in the Penguenian people. The government regulates business within Penguenia very little, except where regulation is needed to ensure the average citizen's standard of living, or when the business is not based within Penguenia.
