The Community of Pantharis is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 249 million Pantharisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Pantharisian economy, worth 7.62 trillion nones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 30,611 nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been reports of people marrying housepets, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, the true length of the coastline of Pantharis may never be measured, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pantharis's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pantharis is ranked 286,897^th in the world and 2^nd in Leuka for Highest Average Incomes, with 30,611.41 Standard Monetary Units.
