The Allied Huggable Fluffies of Kitabo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leland Gaunt with a fair hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 33.792 billion Kitaboans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kitaboan economy, worth a remarkable 3,285 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 97,227 quads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. 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 218,907^th in the world and 10,148^th in The North Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 5.71 Insults Per Minute.
