The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.457 billion Kitaboans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 3,893 trillion quads a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,956 quads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, Kitaboans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, populations of two-headed likitoes have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. 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 270,126^th in the world and 13,821^st in The North Pacific for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -28.17 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
