The Kingdom of Panther is a large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 67 million Panthers enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Panthera economy, worth 5.25 trillion obsidian coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 78,362 obsidian coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 342,643 per year while the poor average 11,306, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Panther's national animal is the Black Panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Panther is ranked 15,794^th in the world and 5^th in South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 70,369.42 Standard Monetary Units.
