The Sulk of Panther is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Mournful Throne with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.595 billion Panthers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Via Dolorosa. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Pantherine economy, worth a remarkable 4,946 trillion black doubloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 426,587 black doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and The Mournful Throne's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panther's national animal is the Panthère Noire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Temple of the Jaguar Sun.

Panther is ranked 30,890th in the world and 38th in South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,327.331268563 days.
