The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 46.856 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 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 5,064 trillion quads a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,076 quads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's space program is doxxing the planet, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Kitaboan surveillance, and odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas. 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 331,681^st in the world and 4,770^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -37.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
