The Free Land of Chitato IV is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.092 billion Chitato IVians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Chitato IVian economy, worth 265 trillion carrots a year, is dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,830 carrots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', people are always able to look each other in the eye, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal. Crime is moderate. Chitato IV's national animal is the bunny, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Chitato IV is ranked 63,768^th in the world and 55^th in Resuscitation for Largest Populations, with 8.09 billion capita.
