The Bread and Circuses of Harlequin Panther is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Punch and Judy Mouser with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.081 billion Harlequin Panthers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Commedia Pavilion. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Harlequin Panther economy, worth a remarkable 1,120 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 123,392 pantheras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, sex changes are routinely performed at Harlequin Panther's hospitals, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Harlequin Panther's national animal is the Clown Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Burlesque Rites.
Harlequin Panther is ranked 178,706th in the world and 12th in Pantherine for Most Stationary, with 80.00868490552 days.
