The CP Ambassador Nation of Kitrium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.473 billion Kitriumians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The thriving Kitriumian economy, worth a remarkable 2,126 trillion Kitrium Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,530 Kitrium Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 193,408 per year while the poor average 16,198, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kitrium's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kitrium is ranked 148,925^th in the world and 1^st in The Versutian Federation for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.77 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
