The United Federal States of Ivorica has produced tanks since their inception in the First Great War, up until the present day. While there were several Ivorican experiments in tank design, the first Ivorican tanks to see service was the indigenous designed Hudson 3-Ton Tank or the T1 Tank and the PanIvorica T2 Light Tank. Followed closely by Utopian designed light tank FT (called T3 Tank in Ivorica) and a joint tank design with Snowylan, T4 Libertania.

In the Interwar Period there was significant tank technology advancement in Ivorica due to the Roaring Decade of the 1910s with large investments, and continued emergency funding for workers during the Sorrowful Decade in the 1920s. Ivorican tank design further acceleration during the Second Ivorican Civil War where several tank prototypes and theories were presented. The popular "Tank Brothers" would all split off during the Civil War, where two defected from Ivorica while one would stay in Ivorica, eventually creating the M4 Sherman in 1934, a year before the war ended.

In World War II, Ivorica came to the fore with tanks designed for mass production and reliability reflecting the Ivorican position as the "Arsenal of Democracy". The M4 Sherman would become the most produced tank in history with over 120,000 being produced and being one of the most iconic. Ivorica would also introduce the second Main Battle Tank in history, the M19 Ultra Pershing.

During the Cold War, Ivorican tank designs would clash against Soviet tank designs, creating the Old World design versus the New World design. Soviet or New World designs would often have better tank guns and electronics with a lower silhouette while Old World designs would have a more efficient engines, range, survivability, and comfortability. Generally, both designs had relatively similar armor protections until the creation of the M1 Abrams in Ivorica, which had superior armor than any Soviet tanks.

In the Modern Era, Old World tanks were often seen to be in better quality and reliability than New World tanks. Until recently, Soviet tank designs struggled to match the M1 Abrams tank armor durability, however, the Next Generation Military Program, saw the creation of the M2 AbramX, which is regarded as the "world's most advanced and dangerous tank" (Premier Amjiro Hereni, Rhedeva Times, 2025, during the "T-14 Armata Disaster!" Interview).

The Ivorica has been greatly influential in the design philosophy, production and doctrine of tanks, and has been responsible for some of the most successful tank designs.

Ivorican tanks today are marked by "M" before tank number and title. However, Ivorica has designated tank model generations, the T Series, the 1st Gen M Series, and the 2nd Gen M Series. In official military and government reports, a full Ivorican tank name for example would be 3GT2019M1A3CSEPv2TUSK Abrams, the most recently researched and procured M1 Abrams model. Broken down, 2G refers to Third Generation. T2019 refers to variant introduction year. M1 refers to tank model, A3 refers to tank variation, C overall modification to current variation, SEP (System Enhancement Package), refers to interior focused modifications, and TUSK (Tactical Urban Survival Kit), refers to exterior focused modifications. Export versions of Ivorican tanks may have even longer more complicated names. However, in more nonofficial reports or a non formal design environment, the Abrams would be referred as to Abrams V 3 or M1A3C.

All Ivorican tanks are required to be named after any Ivorican Army, National Guard, Special Operations, or Marines personnel. Leading to famous soldiers and officers being honored through Ivorican tanks.

When continuing a design variant, the name of the tank would add prefixes before its honorific name. The most common are Super or Ultra. Notable examples are Super Lee, Super Sherman, and Ultra Pershing. If a honorific name is to be reused again, a Remun numeral will be added after it. Such as the M3 Brooker II.
