The Back to Business of Pantso is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Rosie Leggings with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.203 billion Pantsoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denimville. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pantsoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,192 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 9,683^rd in the world and 135^th in 10000 Islands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,659 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
