The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.154 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 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 2,147 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 reasonably common. Average income is 71,217 quads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, halberds are common 18th birthday presents, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, and political cartoons depicting Leland Gaunt's face on a likito's buttocks are selling like hotcakes. 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 81,958^th in the world and 4,234^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 106,587.74 Standard Monetary Units.
