The Gone Fishin' of Pantso is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Rosie Leggings with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.338 billion Pantsoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The frighteningly efficient Pantsoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,212 trillion Pants a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 145,400 Pants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Denimville Leopards against long odds. Crime is totally unknown. Pantso's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of the All-Consuming Pants.

Pantso is ranked 275,425^th in the world and 263^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.66 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
