The Gilded Shrine to Glory of Kitasan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kitasan Black with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.217 billion Umamusume have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gilded City to Glory. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Umamusume economy, worth 187 trillion Carats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 154,373 Carats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 470,862 per year while the poor average 39,254, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Small shoes often wash up on the beach, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, eight-year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Umamusume any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kitasan's national animal is the Satono Diamond, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Harikitte Ikou.

Kitasan is ranked 20,691^st in the world and 2^nd in Umamusume Pretty Derby for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32,349.06 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
