The Kingdom of Pinguinum ...
Contents
People
Pinguinum is a country with a presently non-existent level of immigration and a devout population. Indigenous Pinguinians are fiercly patriotic towards their national animal and it is a punishable offence to harm a penguin in any way.
Government
Pinguinum has a chiefly new form of parliamentary democracy. Although the government has control of all the national affairs, HM King Dwight maintains the divine right to overrule any decision he dislikes. His Majesty also chooses a selection of five candidates for the position of Chief Minister, who in turn delegates Ministerial positions to other members of the Pinguinian Parliament. It is important to note that unlike with many democratic governments, there are no opposition parties. The people of Pinguinum elect candidates not parties.
