The Dance Move of the Penguins

Government

The Skankin penguins are Liberal Consitutinal Democratic Socialists. In other words, penguins elected a emperor (Magnus Guy) for them, Dude McFarllen, who crafted a Constutution for them. We have a 4 Branch system roughly based on John Lockes principles, only more democratic and sexier

The Branches of Government
*Confuto Villa (Senate) * Magnus Guy (The Big Guy) *Proprius Dudes (Special Dudes) *Populus (the people)
The Penguins have a Senate which creates laws, each land sends 3 members to vote in the senate. The senate creates and votes on laws for the emperor to finally sign and accnolage. The Senate is also the first the highest court, although no funding goes into law and order, they really just vote on laws Emperor (Magnus Guy) vetoes or accepts laws, he/she is also in charge of the military. Proprius Dudes review laws and proposals based in their fields and review them for final atmitance into being a law. The Dudes also act as the Magnus Guys cabinet. The people are the 3rd branch with finally votes for the issue. Voting age is 17 for people years and 2 in penguin years, plus a simple commen sense test. The people have the final say on if a law passes.

The government is extremely liberal, so liberal we allow nudism, and still socialist, givin high taxes to fund many government programs which aid the penguins. The government is responsible for military actions, making everyone lifes easier, and throwing daily parties.

Culture

The Penguins are all about SKa. Even their overall apperance reflectes the look of Two-Tone Suits. Music is a major part in the penguins culture as few TV is watch, very little movies are made, and fashion isn't a major thing, in fact most penguins go about their day nude. Books are read constantly, giving the country a big book publishing industry. Most penguins can be found reading a book while listening to music on a nice winter day- as the penguins wouldn't watse a summer day reading. Penguins seem to be more interested in nonfiction works, and many books are shipped from the isle of Duckia, as foreign reads are also popular.

The Penguins music program is giagantic. Even though SKa is the reigning genre, Jazz, Punk, Rock N Roll, Swing, Rocksteady, and Gipsey Swing are genres also listened to in the country. Fort Knox has the biggest recording studio and poduced the majority of records. The head of the Fort Knox Music Company, Desmond Dekker is also in charge of regulating the countries music and keeping the quality of music up.

The Penguins also play a great deal of Ultamate Liar's Fuji.

Demographics

There are a mix of people, penguins, and mideval tin foil warriors in the country. But Penguins make up 99% of the population. Of that 99%, Jackass or African penguins make up 55% of that population. Then, in order of most populated to least:Macaroni,Rockhopper, Galapagose,Humboldt,Magelanic,Snares, Gentoo,Emperor,King, Little Blue,Chinstrap,then a small minority of other penguins.

Economy

Currently the Penguins are in an economic slump. Our currency the SKen is equal to 5 US dollars. We have a large industry of book publishing, soda sales, and arms manufacturing. And we estimate people are reading less since our economy is around making books. Tons of money is poured into medicine and education as the government provides free health care, along with medicines, and a full education.

Education

The Main building to the Knysna University – The largest university in the country

We have an extensive education system where every penguin gets to go to not only school but college. Most of our funding goes to education which averages about 400 trillion SKens. The Medical Field is thriving and is the most studied subject, expetially Dentistery. English spelling isn't even offered, cause english spelling suks. Plus kids are banned from using cell phones so they can concentrate on the class, but they are allowed to wear what ever they'd like. There are now private schools as the public schools systems receive sufficient funding. Teaching of religion and politics is allowed at the schools, and are given upon parents request, but all Penguins must pass a political debate class to get their diplomas.

Transportation

Cars are banned, which led to the downfall of the Auto industery. and all penguins ride Giant Bikes (thats Giant the company not as in large bikes). Plus an extensive slip n slide system has been made to allow penguins to slide to their destination. all bikes are state owned so Penguins commonly leave their bikes at the start of the slip n slide for the government to pike up and redistribute into the populus again.


Environment

The penguins are protected species. The terrain is mainly African Savana in the heart of the country. Mountain Ranges are on the east, west and southern part of the country. A Mediteranean climate can be found along the west coast and the southern portion of the country. The East coast has a unique rocky terrain with patches of tropical trees. And the south east has marshes mixed in with the savana. The Fender Forest is a major tropical forest located in the south west of the country. We have tons of rivers made so the penguins can access the mainland.

Ambiguous Sun Activity

Due to the area where the country is located, the penguins also have the sun activity the Crazy Friggin Monkeys have. But because of the years spent in Anarctica, penguins are used to the odd sun behaviore. For more info about the Ambiguous Sun Activity, the full describtion is Here

History

This one time at band camp....

penguins were rockin out havin a awesome party. But there was a polar bear camp for obese kids accross the lake, and they did not enjoy the fact that they were fat and having no fun, and the penguins, being awesome, were havin a awesome time. So the polar bears went over to the penguins camp one night and smashed all their guitars, drank all their coke, and drove off all the cars back to their camp.

From this moment on penguins hated polar bears. They vowed revenge by deciding to party twice as hard.

What soon came after was known as SKa

and they had a SKawesome time

The Story continues in the Full History of the Skankin Penguins or War Of the Poles

Diplomacy in the land of Nonsense

With Ghandi as the international Ska'nager for the penguins, the Skankin penguins have kept up peacful relationships with all the new nations springing up in the land of nonsense. The Penguin's views towards international affairs is to keep neutrality, and still protect their shores from forein threat. The Leader only accept alliances if it truely beniifits the nation. The Penguins are currently at war with Evil Pirates and Polar Bears. They are completely allied with the Mideval Tin Foil Army


The penguins have no outlook on any other countries at the moment.
