The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 42.933 billion Kitaboans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 4,760 trillion quads a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,884 quads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, wandering Kitaboans are known for their one-track minds, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive. Kitabo's national animal is the likito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitabo is ranked 48,779^th in the world and 1,222^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 110,884.47 Standard Monetary Units.
