The Brooding Kingdom of Dark Panther is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sable Mouser with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.082 billion Dark Panthers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onyx Hold. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dark Panther economy, worth a remarkable 1,822 trillion pantheras a year, is 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 impressive 180,752 pantheras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Dark Panther radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dark Panther's national animal is the Night Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stygian Rites.

Dark Panther is ranked 52,947th in the world and 1st in Pantherine for Most Stationary, with 836.70152701068 days.
