The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.545 billion Kitaboans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 2,329 trillion quads a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,250 quads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The weather is the nation's most risqué topic of conversation, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kitabo's national animal is the likito, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kitabo is ranked 1,163^rd in the world and 55^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,635.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
