The Scrimshaw Kingdom of Ivory Panther is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alabaster Mouser with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.952 billion Ivory Panthers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golgotha Fields. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ivory Panther economy, worth a remarkable 1,175 trillion pantheras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,325 pantheras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Ivory Panther's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, and racehorses move a lot slower these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivory Panther's national animal is the Bone Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Funeral Rites.

Ivory Panther is ranked 23,375^th in the world and 21^st in Pantherine for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,403.92 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
